New Fall Decorations!

One of my close friends, Katy, always has her table decorated so cute for different holidays and seasons. Since we received a large amount on Linen's-n-Things gift cards after the wedding, I think we will use the remaining to buy table decorations. Here are the first decorations purchased for Fall/Thanksgiving. The placemats are reversible which is a bonus. The metal food things were too cute to pass up. LNT didn't have any candles that fit in the holes, so I bought some from Pier 1 (also using a wedding gift card). So, I have a brand new table with $0 out of pocket. :)

John's Office

John has basically been a nomad for the past 4 years. Starting his freshman year of college (4 years ago) his schedule has been: In August move into the fraternity house, mid December move home, mid-January move back into the fraternity house, May move into a house then in August the whole cycle starts over, for the past 4 years. One of the things he said to me when he moved all his stuff into my (I mean our house) was "I'm so glad I have a home now." When he moved in, our current office became the dumping grounds for everything. I should have taken a picture of it, but I thought about that too late. So I did a suprise makeover of our office one Friday night. My mom and I got this desk at the Salvation Army for $25! All it need was a good coat of paint. So, this is "his" room now. I still need to add some more pictures to the grouping above the desk, but it'll work for now. (don't pay any attention the the sign on the door, John's already made fun of me because I misspelled 'surprise')
