A Girl named Kent

Feeling more at Home!

Now that we have been in our place for a couple of months, I am starting to settle in more and enjoying making some decorative additions. This place needs some work but I love the character this old 1930's house has!

I found this CD rack at a garage sale this weekend - couldn't pass up a $5.00 item! I thought at first it would work in our bedroom closet upstairs which needs serious organizing help but then I ended up putting it here in our entry since all our shoes end up downstairs anyway! The orchid is from Matt for Mother's Day and I could not bear putting the vintage framed butterflies for sale in my Etsy store. I love the way the light shines in through the old window!

Another garage sale find are these two shelves which I ended up putting at the base of our curved staircase. I was excited to finally display some of the "N"s I had been collecting. My orginal idea was to make a whole wall full of "N"s but that never happened in our old place so I am glad they have at least made it out in the open! Pictures, by the way, were taken by my talented friend Shannon www.shannonmontez.com.

At the top of the stairs is a bookcase that was left behind by the previous tenants. Here I have my little homage to Winnie the Pooh and some of my favorite pictures. I can't bear to put away this picture of Tyler even though he is 9 now. He was such a smiley baby. He smiled with every inch of his body and it always warms my spirit to look at this photo.

This grouping of photos are all of the men in my life. From left to right, Matt as a little boy, Timmy and Tyler. That was one of my quests was to tget each of the boys on a Pony shot to go with this one of Matt!
