Okay so the other day I was feeling very sleepy and thought since the house was clean, baby was nappin', and Mat wasn't around to see, I would take a quick little power nap. I was pleasantly surprised to be woken up by the sounds of possibly someone attacking my house. :) I followed the lacquer smell up the stairs to find this! I got a base cabinet in my upper laundry. Miracles do happen! Not only did he do it, but I only waited a few days (we will pretend that I didn't ask him to do it when we built the house and he told me it wouldn't fit).
For my birthday (which was only last month) I asked for somewhere, anywhere, to hang all of my necklaces. I get pretty frustrated untangling them in the drawer every time I go to wear them. Go figure. Anyways, he made me this awesome board for all of my bling.
This is also a birthday request. We have this little flat-screen in our bedroom. When we originally built the house we had the t.v. connections wired in a different spot. So we may have put a few (unfixed) holes in the wall when we decided we didn't like that spot. I've been wanting something to cover up the holes desperately and finally have a cute little frame for the t.v.. Now if I could just clean it. lol
This is the BIG thing that I've ached for since we built! When we talked about our house Mat asked me to cut out things in magazines that I liked and start a folder with everything I wanted to incorporate in the house. Who needs a folder when I remember EVERYTHING? One thing I really wanted was wood windows with grid. When we priced out the windows I wanted they were going to be 3 times the cost! Needless to say we opted out. Mat however, had reassured me that I could have grid on my transom windows along the back of the house and on the front door. After being in the house a year I threw a small...okay BIG fit that the windows needed to get done. Mostly because they still had the raw wood exposed. After 2 years in the house half are completed. My front door however has been a sore spot for me. There was no tint on the windows so we were quite exposed to the outside world (not good for someone who likes to hang out in their skivvies in the morning) also, the wood in the front entry has become drastically bleached. Not to mention that I love the look of grid! This week Mat finally got around to installing (at least the front part) the grid on the doors. I seriously LOVE it! I smile every time I walk by. It also works pretty good when the "doorbell ditchers" (aka the boys that are in love with Bailey) come around. Now we can stand right inside and watch them come up the walk, jump out and Bailey can chase them doused in her perfume yelling at them to stop. (She LOVES it by the way).

How lucky you are -- I love your doorway -- it's so beautiful - it makes me jealous! Do you think you could get Matt to talk to Brandon? I have a whole list of things I need done and have waited for.....
