Gug loves bugs

This is the Gug, my sweet nephew/neighbor that I couldn't help but share. He is 100% boy.

woot woot!

Our living room is growing up! It's been a neglected space, more like a hallway than a place for people to actually relax and spend time visiting. However, now we have plans, sweet plans, and these are a few of our inspirations and influences....







also, every room that I included in my Apartment Therapy post on wood and whites is fueling the inspiration fire...

This is the current state of our living room. I like bits and pieces, but overall it seems a little uninviting and disjointed, and a little too country. And the lamps are a total downer.


And this is my handsome accomplice...

slaving away to support this exciting endeavor :)
