Hope you all have a wonderful day! The Mr and I aren't big on Valentines Day, but I do think it is fun for the kiddos. After Ellie gets out of school we are going to a friends to decorate cupcakes and tonight the Mr and I are having a movie night. Today is looking good already!
Monday, February 13, 2012 at 6:47AM I was more than excited when Citizens of Humanity released their new site. Amy Williams, whom I have befriended on twitter, is part of this amazing team. The President actually. Who knew? She is humble as can be and honestly I had no idea until the last few weeks. The site reads more like a well thought out newspaper or magazine rather than an average place to shop. The styling is impeccable and of course the goods have always been one of my favorites. Amy is an inspiration. She is a mother to 5 and grasps life with open arms and seems to make the best of all circumstances. She has a sort of grace about her. Part of the Citizens of Humanity philosophy is to create a culture that focuses on creativity and inspiration. I believe they embody this completely within the team and now the site. Well done...
It really is a fun site to explore, I got lost in it over the weekend... Citizens of Humanity.

I finally went for it and did a little makeover here on Two Ellie. I really did try to do something more fancy, but the only thing that felt right for my little space on the web was something simple + classic and what some may call a tad boring. I may still switch a few things around over the course of the week so please bear with me. I will be posting as usual though!

One of my greatest friends had her first child. She is sweet as can be. I also learned that being a baby photographer can be quite challenging. My hat goes off to you all who do this as a profession. I think I will stick to weddings and such. Ha. I also had the pleasure of helping with the design of the nursery. My friend did most, but I was there for help with paint colors and zoning in on a style they will love for years to come. The painting I did for the room as a gift. A bunch of e's as the Mr put it.
Thursday, February 9, 2012 at 7:40AM I know I have mentioned doing a bit of a redesign on our home since we decided not to move. I have been rearranging, bought a few new pieces that I am eagerly waiting to arrive, and have been organizing and simplifying in the process. Keep in mind these are just SNEAK PEEKS into the process and are not complete.
On the left is our sunroom which was what I used as our dining room. It now will function as a cozy movie room. The TV will be moved to the credenza and the drawers will be filled with the kiddos art and craft supplies and toys will be stored below. I am waiting on a new sofa that is a deep gray linen that will blend into the walls. The horse photo that my husband took is being blown up and framed and will hang over the sofa. Also I want to add a black linen shade to that lamp. Still deciding on what to do with the windows thoguh. The photo on the right is that of the living room. I have a new coffee table on it's way and hope to paint the house a warm white sooner than later.
The painting from The Wheatfield came in and I could not be any more in love with it. I love the way it looks on the piano so I think I will just plate it in glass so it will still fit. I am adoring the way our home is coming along and as I mentioned in Monday's post I am hoping this will be my final changes for YEARS to come. This also means I am investing in pieces that will stand the test of time instead of just using fillers. This Monday I am also having many of lights changed out. I will be sure to share more from this continual process of making my home reflect us and hopefully stand the test of time. Well, if you want it, that is.
