There are things in my house that I really love, some things I just keep because I don’t want an empty space, things I have because they have been gifts and then there are things I am not sure about.

Things I love:

In the next few weeks we are going to paint the mantle, not loving the white anymore. I’m thinking about a dark brown distressed look.
JR also wants to cover the brick with rock or stucco, something more updated.

My cross wall:

I love love love crosses, we’ve gotten some of these on trips or have gotten as gifts.

My latest find at Kirkland’s:

I am not sure if I will leave it where it is now, it’s in our bedroom...and before you look at the next picture please note that I hate and despise our JR’s bedroom furniture, it’s too big and manly for me, I bitch about it on a daily basis...we’re getting new furniture soon:

U.G.L.Y!

This is currently above our bed, and it’s one of those things I’m not so sure I like:

I love this floor lamp but hate the curtains:

Next is another bargain from Kirkland’s, it’s in our entry way which was bare for years, not sure about the stuff in it...might need to be longer/higher, what do y’all think?

On the other side of the entry way is this:

I don’t care for the table, okay I’ll be real...I hate the durn thing! but JR bought it from his brother...anyway, I think we need a larger piece of furniture there, something with more presence like these:

This used to hang over our mantle, but it’s in our bedroom now...I’m falling our of love with it, do you ever do that? love something for a long time and then one day you wake up and say “Ewwwwww!!!”?

Funny thing, I saw it on a decorating site the other day, so I guess someone else loves(loved) it too:

Our kitchen...I hate the color we painted it 2 years ago, and it’s a weird shape which drives me insane at times, but there are certain areas of it that I love...what I don’t love are the popcorn ceiling, the blah cabinets and the lack of window treatments. I love Roosters and Chickens can you tell?

Next time I have a bout with bravery I will snap some pictures of our landscaping, we’re supposed to be working on it this weekend...I’ll take some before shots, cross your fingers that the rain stays away this weekend.
