I love this time of year- that nice crisp fresh feeling in the air, I can hang outside for a long time without feeling drained by the heat, my neighbors bring me lots of squash and zucchini, I feel myself wanting to nest and get ready for winter, the desire to make things kicks in a little stronger, oh and the rain, lots and lots of rain!
This weekend we threw a party, an ARTEQUE. What, you ask, is an arteque? Well, it's an art making party combined with a good old-fashioned end of summer bbq! Good food, silly friends, and lots and lots of creativity! We had so much fun painting and drawing and hanging out with family and friends. So messy and so silly. 
I think we will make this an annual event!!
When we moved into this house, the bathroom was way totally disgusting!! I'm talking gross, dirty blue carpet (yes, carpet in the bathroom!) and weird blue trim everywhere. The wallpaper was pealing off and moldy underneath. 
So ugly and very not clean! It completely freaked me out to have my kids in here.
Well, we decided to redo it, which ended up being so much more work than we bargained for...can you say layers of nasty wallpaper and many different tiles under the carpet. 
It took many weekends, but so worth it! 
Of course Don and I had to pick bright and fun colors to make it a happy room!
We still need to get some art and a few other details, but so far we are loving it!
