I'm loving every moment being pregnant. It's just so amazing to me how fast your body changes/prepares for this little guy. I'm over half way there and i can't wait to meet little Jude! He's already brought so much joy to our lives, i can't imagin how much more joy he's going to bring once he's here!! I'm excited!

{trying to catch up}

This is my new T.V. hutch! i bought this piece in buffalo minnesota last month! it was the perfect size & color so i snatched it up! 

Also, the letters "daltons" & "our nest" i made with a couple girl friends, thanks to Appleberry's attic!! We ordered our Upper case living letters in the color and size we wanted and then her husband cut the wooden blocks to the perfect size and we painted the blocks, glued scrapbook paper to the block and then rubbed on the UCL letters. oh the we sanded the edges to make it look more rustic.

and taaaa-da! such a cute fun idea! thanks jenny for all the directions. 

I got these beautiful knitted pillows at home goods! 

gosh i love that store..... they are Ralph Lauren and they "were" $200.00
yes.... you heard me right, $200.00

and i got them for $9.99!!! i was so happy, i couldn't wait to run home and put them on my couch. Now i'm just waiting for winter to come. (their my winter pillows) 

nice and cozy!

{where have i been?}

oh my gosh...... i haven't blogged in forever it feels like, this summer has seriously just flew by!

I have done so many projects i just can't keep track of them all? Once you get behind on blogging your behind for a long while, until you have a night to just sit at home with a nice cup of creamy coffee and organize everything. (but when does that happen?) rarely. & the reason i have time to type this up quick is because all 3 of my nanny kids are sleeping!

well, over all everything is going good here! I'm 10 weeks pregnant and can't wait to hear the heart beat or beats?? In early October. I hope all my pregnancies are exactly like this one. No sickness, not sleepy, & feeling completely normal.....well except i'm hungry 24/7.

I'll post some pictures of my projects in a couple days! (i got all winter to blog right?) its so beautiful out i have to enjoy it while its here. MN winters are horrible and lonnngg.

hope all is well!

{welcome to the best day of my life}

i hosted a "dinner party" at my house last night! i had my whole family & best friends kara & steve come over! 

they thought they were just coming for a nice dinner....... 

my mom helping me set up! 
lemons, held down the napkins & were also good seating arrangements! 
sooo, we told them by taking these pictures. I said "lets get a family picture before we eat & then as my husband snapped the picture he said "kurstin's pregnant" instead of SAY CHEESE!  They all reacted like this........
everyone smiling,  & running and giving me hugs!! it was pure joy!! 

so the bottom line is..... were expecting! yay! I've been waiting for this moment to come for ever! I'm so excited, thankful, blessed, amazed and grateful to have a lil baby or babies growing inside of me! 

you all know i've wanted twins since i was 14!!!! i pray for them daily! so we'll see in a month or so if i have 2!

{the new love of my life}

I found this old hutch on the side of the road!!!!! can you believe it???? the house was vacant and it was about to go into a dumpster.....ugh I'm so glad i drove by with my handy dandy mini van that day!!  Finding a piece of furniture that you can re-vamp is priceless.........

my husband knew i had some great ideas for this beauty, so he pulled over & helped me load her in.

first i sanded her with a 150 grit just to take off the shine, & then i primed her with just one coat. (next time i'll do 2) 

& then i painted her my favorite color, "cottage white"
i knocked out the glass and added some chicken wire to make it more country, i bought 1/2 inch chicken wire from Menards....... then i cut it to the right size, spray painted it & stapled it to the hutch! 




i absolutely love chicken wire, it adds so much to the piece!


& then Ta-daaaa you have a cute cottage white hutch!!!


did i mention i like cottage white? 



sorry about the quality of the pictures again, i had to use my phone. (ugh, my husband didn't get the hint about a new camera for summer) guess i'll just have to sneak into his secret stash..........hmmm? :)
enjoy!!

{Fresh}


Here is my old kitchen table.... old as in 1yr

i got tired of the green...so i just decided to do something i would {love} & so i went with cottage white of course!

hydrangea's are my all time favorite flower! 

thank god that i pay my association dues....... other wise my neighbors might tell on me for picking them every night after dinner! 

nothing better then fresh flowers in the morning.
the fresh new look of my kitchen table! 


xoxo enjoy!

{welcome}


I still can't believe my walls used to look like this!! 

After about a month of painting & sanding down each & every cupboard this is the final master piece! I lived in painting clothes that month.... it was a crazy but fun month! 

When i lived at home with my parents (a year ago) i never thought in my wildest dreams that i would be so passionate about decorating. It's brought so much joy to my life and has become my favorite hobby! 


enjoy, have a beautiful day!!

{new french doors}


This was our old door.... while my husband and dad were taking it down they found a note and it said "this door was put in 8.8.87" that means our front door was 22 years old!! now that's older then me. No wonder it was rotting out at the bottom.
bye bye door, I don't think I'll miss kicking the bottom 3 times & having to do a few shoulder nudges every time to get into our house.

& ladies, the beautiful thing is that both of the doors open! so........ that means {BIG} furniture won't have to have any second thoughts getting into my house! 
Welcome to the Dalton's!

{a little ruffled}

ruffles, ruffles, ruffles, ruffles, ruffles, ruffles, ruffles, ruffles, ruffles, ruffles, ruffles, ruffles!
Ok, If anyone can tell me where to buy this beautiful table cloth I would love to know!!! I don't even own a round table, but I sure as heck would go out and buy one asap so i could use this cute thing for a party! 
 When i have my cute little twin girls named jersee & jurnee i want this cake to be their first birthday cake! (& no, i'm not pregnant, i'm just speaking them into my life!)  
i absolutely love love love my anthropologie shower curtain..... it seriously makes my day when i look at it! My mom bought it for me for a wedding gift. 
Our green bedding is from anthro... (as you can tell it's one of my favorite stores) But i typically only buy stuff on sale!! because it's so stinkin expensive. But....i have the patience and sadly the time to wait for it to go down in price a few times..... it's all worth it in the end anyway! 
more cute ruffles! 
don't they just make you smile!?

they sure make me smile! 

hope you had a wonderful weekend.... I sure did! we had lots of sunshine here! 
xoxo
