Finally, A Nail in The Wall

We have lived in our house for two months. We have been unable to make any decisions about where we want to put any decor up on the wall. So it was a big day when we finally made a decision about one tiny nail hole in our kitchen...hanging our cute "P tile" from Kirsten! It's been a few weeks since this happened, and it has encouraged me to hang up a few more things. Even though I'm not happy about putting holes is our new walls...I have to admit, I like having some things up on the walls.

New Bedroom Furniture

Since we got married, we have been wanting to get new bedroom furniture. But, in our wonderful, yet tiny apartment, there was no room for adult furniture. So, I continued to use the furniture I picked out when I was 10, little flowers and all and Adam used the dresser he has had since his childhood that didn't really hold clothes as big as he is.

Shopping for the furniture turned out to be not easy as my taste is out of style. All I wanted was light colored furniture and what's in style is dark. Hardly any stores carry my totally out of date style. We looked in every furniture store there was and found nothing. I was about to give up when I looked at JC Penny. (Bridget will you still tell me you like it?) Big surprise, they have lots of furniture and had one, out of style, but just my taste, bedroom set!

I was so excited that we sold Adam's dresser on craigslist two weeks before the new stuff even was delivered. Oops.

It came! And even though the rest of you like dark furniture ( really, i'm like the only person who doesn't want it ) tell me you like it anyways!

Baking Soda, Our New Best Friend

We have discovered that baking soda can solve so many of our problems. Well, at least two. Our dishwasher sometimes leaves glasses a little cloudy and when I researched how to un-cloud glass, it said to scrub them with baking soda mixed with water and an toothbrush. And...it worked! It's amazing how the internet always has the answers.

Then, today we got our new bedroom furniture and the mirror had some marks from where they had put a big X out of tape on it. Adam scrubbed and scrubbed with glass cleaner and could not make it come clean. But, guess what did. Baking soda. Yup.

My new best friend.
