Furniture deliveries--YAY!!

On Monday, my new bookshelves arrived for my office and they're already filled, but not in a presentable fashion that I want to show off yet. That will take some more time, but in the meantime, here's the store's floor model. It looks beautiful with my desks and credenza. These next two pieces will arrive tomorrow for our master bedroom. These are from the showroom too and I'll show them in my room after it's all spiffy looking.

The kids will get our contemporary white dresser and chest of drawers from our bedroom that we bought several years ago before I could define my design tastes as they are now. I'm excited! I hope they match the bed well...my fingers are crossed.

New furniture is SO exciting. I am glad that you were able to find so many things that you liked. I have the hardest time deciding on furniture. Those pieces look great. I am sure that they will look fantastic in you home.

Those are very classic and beautiful Kelly. I love the color, I love them. Chris has been begging for nice bookshelves for his hundreds of books. I will not show this to him he will probably drool!

okay already... send the next photos! J.K., I know you are working hard... but we want to see those shelves filled up and organized looking - you have such a talent for "visual presentation" - I know, that was my career field before kids!

How fun to get new furniture and those pieces are beautiful! I know the bookshelves will look awesome in your office and I can't wait to see all the cool stuff you use to organize everything. I will probably copy lots of your organizing ideas b/c I desperately need it for my scrapping/stamping stuff.

Pralines and Dreams

I considered myself to be a decent cook and baker.  However, candy making had been unchartered territory until I recently cracked the code of a favorite—chewy Texas Pecan Pralines.  This culinary epiphany came only days before I left my home sweet home in Austin, Texas, to return to CU Boulder after an epic hiatus to wrap up my bachelor’s degree in journalism. When I was a little girl, I remember tasting heavenly, creamy homemade pralines, bursting with pecans, handcrafted with love by my mom.  She only whipped them up a few times, but I just couldn’t get the memory of those buttery, sugary treats out of my head.  They were  that  good.  I asked her if she still had the recipe, but I knew it would be hopeless since my mom wasn’t one for keeping track of her down-home style cooking. I married my college sweetheart, a guy with the same first name as me, and began teaching myself to cook.  Becoming “Kelly Times Two” was amazing, and I had ...

Triathlon triumph

Are you kidding me? A triathlon and I have never belonged in the same sentence. It must have been time for something new! (The "BEFORE" race shot, with goggles and swim cap in hand.) What an unforgettable week this was! I actually DID enter my first triathlon, with the goal of simply finishing it. Take note of the emphasis on the word FIRST, because I loved it so much, that you can guarantee that there will be more. It was a blast. Seriously. My friends Lorraine and Robin had trained and signed up to do the event, which was two days ago, on Saturday. Three days beforehand, I heard about it and basically had a spontaneous urge to join them, so I registered. The only partial preparation ahead of time that I had been doing was cycling in the neighborhood here and there on my mountain bike with some other friends. And doing some micro-laps in our backyard pool. Our friend, Dave, was also there. The three of us women appreciated Dave's encouragement and support, as he's ...

The BIG REVEAL!

We LOVE our new pool! There are a couple of problems that need to be fixed, so we're crossing our fingers that they get it done right, and soon, considering we have given them the final check for the balance of the pool, and we don't have any leverage. Three of the waterfalls work. This is the main one and I like the natural look. Below, here's the deep end waterfall, and it's flows nicely. The water sheer like this one, that flows into the shallow beach area, is the fall that is not working. It's frustrating, but hopefully they'll fix it soon. The fountain in the spa is blocked too. Here's the small rock waterfall, which works just great. It took about 18 hours to fill the pool and we practically watched it gallon by gallon. I stayed up all night long, making sure it didn't overflow. We swim in it every day. Last night we went on a midnight swim and it was beautiful. The water temperature is perfect. I'm extremely thankful that we have our new...
