friday fancys | awh snap!

It's FRIDAY and I'm feeling pretty darn fancy!

My sister-in-law recently got engaged and I was asked to do their engagement photos.

I was so very surprised and proud of the results that I wanted to share with you!

Some of my favorite shots of N & M :)

We got a genuine smile from N and it was perfect!

M made this sign all by herself - I'm so proud of my crafty sis:)

It took a few times but we finally got N to "scoop" M up!

N plays guitar so these were really special:) I am obsessed how these turned out!

They also have a nice pool table in their basement which they play together often - these are some of my favorites!

We did a little bit of a quick wardrobe & location change and these were some of the best shots! So happy we thought of this:)

How handsome, right?

She is so beautiful I ~~hate~~ can't stand it!

I had a shot like this for our engagement photos so I had to do one with these guys - so simple yet so beautiful!

N finally had some input in a shot and he said (probably jokingly) "Let's look off in the distance over this balcony!" They had a hard time keeping a straight face because it was quite comical but we got this one and it was perfect! After we shot, N says "It was a little creepy just staring at you like that though!"

I am so happy with all the photos we got! These guys were so fun and easy to work with - it was simple getting all these great shots:) We plan on getting a few more in the near future - stay posted!

Speaking of photography...

We are famous!

Our photographer, Alain, was amazing! This photo was even on the cover page of his photography website for awhile!!!

M came across this photo as she is planning for her wedding and we were in one of the magazines! How funny is that??

Whoa! | Bathroom REupdate

Well it's been pretty damn long since I've given you guys any good stuff lately. I failed miserably at the OCD challenge last year and for that I am sorry. BUT we are back in action and we have decided to stick with working on one room at a time but not necessarily finish in a month's time. This really allows us to focus on one space and pay attention to every detail and really perfect it. The first project of the year was the main bathroom. You may be saying "Hey, didn't she already do that one?" . Yes. Yes we did. I am a perfectionist and I knew it needed to be done again. I wasn't happy with the wall color and there were too many unfinished projects in the space. It was somewhat embarrassing when we had guests over and it looked like a Sundance film production office (whatever that looks like, I just made that up) exploded in there. I think it wasn't completed for so long because I was sort of scared to do some of the projects that needed to b...

in with the old | my best thrift finds

*as you read through this post, have Thrift Shop by Ryan Lewis and Macklemore [link attached] play in the background, as I did when I was posting this:) My husband is - for lack of a better word - cheap. He means well, but it really puts a wrench in most of my design plans. This just makes me work ten times harder to find the best deal out there and still maintain the integrity of my design. Where do you go for such deals you ask? Goodwill, duh! I'm obsessed. Luckily I can soothe my infatuations less than a mile from my house! Of course I also take a stop into TJ Maxx that's right next door and Pot Belly's too, but that's a topic for another day.. I usually get to GW once a week and I can definitely tell when I haven't been in awhile. ...wow, it really is sounding like an addiction, huh? First, I scout out the furniture - usually I don't find anything because a) It's already been picked through or b) it's t...

our upstairs bath | total gut

This is probably to biggest demo project on the house. This is the yucky space previously known as "the bathroom". Yes, that is my husband in the reflection:) Apparently we forgot to get better "before" photos.. The dimensions of the room were 4x9--not even wide enough for a tub! So this was our first mission when planning out this tiny bath-make room for tub! Here's a fun little fact: this is the only room in the house that I didn't step more than 2 feet in the doorway. That's how bad this space was! Here's some fun demo that I luckily did not have to take part in any of it, not even clean up! This is the view coming from the front bedroom on the house. We also did some knocking down of walls and putting up of walls in this room. Luckily it was big enough and didn't take away too much space. Little bro, pretending to help with the demo... And this is the guy who was the muscle in all of this:) ...
