Still working on that list ...

My husband and I are getting ready to celebrate our anniversary (July 3rd), so naturally the subject of presents has been foremost in our conversations -- mostly because we love any excuse for presents!  The problem was we couldn't seem to find things we wanted within our price range. Either too cheap or too expensive or too boring or too impractical or too purple.  Finally, a few days ago Matt suggested that we scrap all of our ideas, and buy awesome things for our home.  One of the options was to get me a nice desk (pictured right).  On a tip from a friend, we went the Belfort Furniture and found one to our liking!  Now, it has a new home in our bedroom!

Several weeks ago, I posted a list of Things That I Want To Do Around The House This Summer.  I even posted a few pictures of ones I accomplished (Project Picturesque Porch, key hooks, and even last Saturday's new summer quilt).   Today's accomplishments also touched our kitchen.  Since our apartment is a rental, painting isn't really an option, so we've been trying to pick up pretty and colorful items to hang on our walls.  The four pictures below were found at Home Goods!
