More House Updates

I never posted a picture of what our kitchen looks like now after painting all the cabinets. As you can tell the top cabinets are a much brighter white. The wall is a more soft white and the bottom cabinets are now black. Before the wall was light brown and the cabinets were all a off white/cream color.

I also do not think I ever posted a picture of our new dinning room light fixture. The one that was an absolute pain to install because it was so heavy.  Its from Pottery Barn. It was a floor model because they were discontinuing the style. We ended up getting it at a fraction of the price. We also put in a new and bigger medallion. The one before was a 10 inch and the one now is a 16 inch. The chairs we got from Restoration Hardware. They are the Madeline Cafe Chairs. They were a nightmare to get because the shipping was all wrong and we sent some back and some were broken and some got lost. Lets just say it took a month to finally get all the chairs.                                                                                              
                                                                                                                       

Updating Life

It has been a while since I have updated my blog, I know I have been neglecting it but honestly my brain has hit a block. I have had nothing exciting to blog about until today. The last week I have been job hunting like a maniac going into these high profile job interviews where once I walk in I feel like a tiny person in comparison to everyone else. I completely shut down and become intimidated because I am completely out of my element and confort zone. I cannot allow this to happen to me because I wil never grow in life being intimidated. Anywhos, I sucked it up and faked a big confident and landed a job! WOOOOO ME  I now have a job and no longer need to pinch my pennies and can stop stressing about becoming a low life. I am really excited about starting work. Also we finally bought a couch which I cant stop looking at. We purchased it from Restoration Hardware and it is so pretty and large and so freaken comfortable wow!! The apartment is slowly becoming a home finally and it has been snowing here the last few days. I like it from the inside ONLY! once you place me outside I become one freezing complainer. I will also mention that I had to walk 5 blocks in a blistering tundra too. Yeah I will always be a California girl who adores the sunshine and amazing weather. I am sharing with you a picture of flowers Chris got me for landing a job, the before and after of our living room and the new sofa! Hope you guys are having a good weekend!
