Children are not a burden to escape or endure; they are a blessing that drives us to Christ because we are incapable of parenting well without Him. - Kim Brenneman

For Missy

Maybe you'll get some inspiration... or just think my living room needs less toys.. either way here are a few pictures of of our home.

Sorry this picture is dark... I found this wall hanging at a garage sale for 3 dollars... they lady had some serious talent! And the items on either side were 75 cents a piece... they use to hold candles.. but it just didn't work for kids so they are waiting until the kids get older to hold candles :) The lamp was 4 dollars at a garage sale.


here is the hanging plates on the wall look.... going simple can make things look very nice.. you don't have to do extravagant or fancy



Not everyone likes this look but Matt made our wooden table for 60 dollars total. And all of the chairs were given to us or found at a garage sale and they don't all match.. but it works well and gives out home some charm. The curtains are also bedsheets....


here is our very bare looking kitchen.. it is actually more full then this picture gives off now...


Anyway... hope you gain some inspiration soon.. and just don't worry to much about decor... just start with basic colors that you like and then add to the decor as time goes by! have fun!!!!!

K- our local lumber store, he wanted to do oak, but it's just pine which means it's softer. I love it! I want him to make me a hope chest next that i can put all of our extra blankets and a couple of baby putfits i am saving for the boys in....
