Made it to Houston!

We made it to Houston! Our furniture wont be here till Tuesday. Below are some pictures of our new apartment. We are going to set some ikea desks up tonight.

We went with dark wood tops but I still plan to paint the legs gold. I am working on a rug for that room but I am having a tough time making a decision.

Tonight Jeff and I are thinking of taking Hank the dog to the Boneyard, a dog park that serves beer and wine! 

above pic is of course the kitchen. Please excuse all of the random stuff everywhere.

Here is the living room. Hank is a tad bit worried right now. He is very sure to stay close so he doesn't get left in this weird place.

Hank is eating an oven mitt my mom made me. Don't worry Mom, we rescued it!

Our living room

our awesome shower! Isn't it wonderful! I've never had a shower like this before, only bathtub showers.

This is a view of the medical center and rice village. In front is Hermann Park. Houston is to the north of this picture and has a massive skyline. Sadly we are on the wrong side of the building...

Have a good rest of the weekend!

Moving Day

It's packing day! I'm not helping cause they asked me not to, but I'm still wiped.

Gossip Girl Chair

Mkay - I love gossip girl sooooo much! My friend gave me the dvd's about a month ago and I am finished with season 1 and season 2. I LOVE CHUCK BASS AND BLAIR WOLDORF!

So, after feverishly googling the chair (set of 2) in the back for weeks I finally figured it out! I have the secret! (front chair is an Eames chair.)

 But the back chair is... drum roll... the BOBBINS CHAIR!

Look at these great maps. They are cut out of paper. I wish they would make one for Austin!

they are made by Famille Summerbelle.

They also make great Mexican style flags to hang up!

All About Dogs

Hi-ya! So Jeff and I think hank needs a friend. Hank is a handful (reference picture below) and so Jeff and I have been looking for a little friend for him. Since Hank is coming in at about 90lbs we would like to keep the newbie's weight limit under 30lbs. Also, since we are moving I am going to get Hank a new bed and new bowls! I used to have really beautiful ones from PotteryBarn but I broke them.

see what I mean! he is normally much cleaner, but can arrive at this state at any given moment if you aren't being careful.

angus - option 1 (he is 4 years old)

these dogs are shih tzus. the reason we are looking at them is cause a friend fosters them....

austin - option 2. hopefully the bow isnt permanent.

brody - 4 months old

hank and newbie will both need to make a good impression in houston... since it is a more formal town and all. here are some products i love:

Nulo food is great! Sometimes they set up stands at the dog parks on Saturdays and give away free food which makes me love them. And they work with restaurants so that when you bring your dog there, they give them nulo treats!

Office chairs

finding and office chair that jeff can sit in all day and be comfortable and that i can look at everyday is no easy task!

here are the ones i am leaning towards:

depending on the rug i choose, i will lean towards a white or camel chair. if we buy a stainless steel desk, i think i will go with a cooler tone in the room and make everything more silver, white, black, blues but if i can talk jeff into a more feminine desk then i would like to do a camel colored chair and a red rug. we will see once we get to houston in two weeks!

Beso

Pronounced BEE-sew is this website that I came upon from Joanna Goddards blog - A Cup of Jo.

There are several awesome bloggers, including A Cup of Jo, Cupcakes and Cashmere and What I Wore, writers that choose products they love right now. It reminds me of Rachel Zoe's picks on Piperlime. The only difference is that this website is just linking you to the stores you can buy them.

Check it out! www.beso.com
