Living Room Decor

I've been wanting to update this living room ever since we moved in last April.. a WEEK before Ari was born! Now that life is SORTA slowing down (yeah right) I think I might be able to squeeze in a little time focusing on it. Day by day. I'm so excited! I really love whites & greys, with only a little pop of color. It makes me feel more relaxed that way. But that's just me. Right now we're living in a 900 sq. feet apartment. Not too small, not huge either. The walls are an off white (bleh) Not much we can do about that though. The carpet is indeed grey :) All of our accessories are black or grey. Pretty simple. I do like it, but I think ever since I've had a baby, and things are constantly changing, I feel like my home needs a little change as well!

So with this design, I want greys and a lot of white, in this picture I've added purple flowers. I love grey & purple together, But I WILL admit, I'm not sure on the color I want to add for the accessories. I'm kind of stuck between yellow, purple, or peach/orange. Tell me what color you think I should pick!

(All of this is at Z Gallerie.. other than the Tissue Garland.)

Purple Floral Accessory- I'm not that big into fake flowers. Most of the time I think they're extremely tacky... but these are unmistakeably beautiful. And it doesn't hurt that they're HUGE. (notice the price...haha)

Cloud Modular Sectional- I love the name. I love everything about this damn sofa. The first time I walked into Z Gallerie and saw this sofa, I basically fainted. Jaime literally said, "ya okay?" This is the BIG DADDY of all sofas. I'm telling you. You can't tell from the picture, but when you see it in person, you can literally fit 15 people on it, probably more. I am in love. Deeeeeeply in love. But obviously no shoes allowed! (I am still iffy about purchasing this, especially when Ari starts pulling up and walking, oh and the whole crayon thing, yeah.)

Boot Umbrella Stand- Not only is this probably the cutest/most creative idea ever, I will actually USE this for my umbrella... instead of throwing it in my car or in my closet. How convenient! Maybe I'll buy a fancy shamncy umbrella, silver sparkle? Just to spice up my living room, and look sassy while in the rain. (pfft)

Tuxedo New Years Eve Tissue Garland- I love all the colors she offers.. So adorable. I plan on ordering some for my living room & Ari's room! :)

Casablanca Dhurrie Rug - Fog- Simply love it. I love the pattern more than anything.

Snowfall Trees- My favorite accessory on this whole list! I will use these year-round. Probably because I am obsessed with the holidays but also because I think they can work for any time of the year. White treeeees. Oh honey, please...

Royce Mirror- You gotta add a little bling! And why not when you're looking at that beautiful face of yours?!

White Owl Bookends- Owwwwl, baby!!! Obsessed with them. The end.

Timber End Table- I love the rustic look. Beautiful without trying. That sorta thing. And I love the mix of white & grey in this piece. 

Tell me whatcha think folks. :)

Ari's 6 Months & Fall Time

Taking strolls through the park have been a usual lately! Kentucky is it's most beautiful during fall time.. trying to enjoy it while we can ;) Ari absolutely loves staring at the trees and she loved the leaves falling on her. It was home-video worthy :)

(notice she HAD to have her candy corn toy laying beside her)

 

And look at this lovely little lady on her 6 MONTHS :)

 

My Little Cupcake.

I think I've been obsessed with cupcakes as soon as one hit my tongue, at about the age, ooooh I'd say, 8 months?! (I was a chubby baby)

So you know I have to dress Ari in cupcakes and have cupcake accessories. Not to mention, that is her Halloween costume.

Cupcake Blanket & Bib Pack- These will be adorable to keep little missy warm this winter :)

Cupcake Bean Bag- I just have to have this in her nursery. I just have to.

Cupcake Bibs! Eating in style.

Mommy's Little Cupcake oufit- She is my little cupcake, and my cupcake she will always be.

Sweet Treats Cupcake Rattle- ADORABLE. She will LOVE this!

Cupcake Sleep n' Play- Pink stripes, grey, and cupcake. I'm in love.

Happy Baby!

Ari decided to eat her high chair instead of peas... Definetely not her favorite.

We have a new favorite game, I made her laugh by playing peek-a-boo!

It is 1:05 AM here, and I can't sleep from being so overly-emotional because Ari is officially six months old. Happy Half-Year baby girl! Mama loves you!

Can't wait to take her 6 month pictures.

My Monkey Butt.

This nickname has been in my fam since I was a baby! "You little Monkey Butt!" Weird I know, but it's cute, you gotta admit. So when I saw this adorable sleeper with a monkey on the butt, I had to get it! (And it's teal!)

(Butterfly hat from Baby Gap)

My Big Girl.

Hubby & I took a nice stroll to look at some nice Fall scenery... We tried out Ari's new stroller. It's ah-maaaaaay-zing! She loves it, and it's super comfy. I wish I could get pushed around in it.

(Uppababy G-luxe Stroller in the color Jake.)

 It's probably my dream stroller. It's black, white, and silver. It's so lightweight, (only 11 pounds) and it glides so easily. We took her on some curvy roads, and it was smooth sailing! Your baby can use it from 3 months - 50 pounds. They have other colors such as blue, red, or orange. But I didn't care for any of them. Black & white is always nice :)

ALSO, someone is trying to crawl! My life is officially over :)

She is now trying to eat everything. Time to babyproof this place up!

New Toy!

Jaime & I went shopping for Ari today... (shocker) She got a bunch of goodies... but of course her new favorite is her rainbow caterpillar we bought!

She hasn't let it go....and she whines if it isn't near her. What did we get ourselves into? We can't tote this EVERYWHERE. 

 (We purchased this at Cracker Barrel)

And some other goodies we bought :)

 

Minnie Mouse Teether- Well, Ari & I watch Minnie Mouse & Mickey's Clubhouse every morning, so I had to get her this.. I am a sucker for Minnie Mouse. I still have my Minnie Mouse blanket from when I was a baby! :)

Zebra Leggings- Obsessed. Period.

Polka Dot Pants- Soooooo in love. She has a one piece in this pattern too.

Crane Drop Humidifier- I bought this because it's already getting pretty cold here in Kentucky.. and I want Ari to have a clear nose this winter! :)

Owl One Piece- So adorable. Ari basically lives in one pieces now.

Teal Monkey One Piece- I love the one pieces or pants with the animals on the butt! I die.

Out & about today. Love this dude ;)
