My House part 2

Here are few shots from our room. I forgot to take pictures of our bed, oh well. I still need to take pictures of the baby's corner too. But we really like the color of our walls. I love almost all shades of blue, so it isn't hard to pick out blues.

My window with some curtains I just finished.

Our rented chair, it came with the house, it is comfy but HIDEOUS. I had to make a little throw for it and a pillow. I had to make a cozy spot where I will soon spend many nights for all the late feedings. I could never get the hang of feeding in bed. Still searching for some sort of footstool... The little table is from the second hand market, but it is another thing we adopted when friends moved away. It is cute and old. I am thinking of painting it. I wanted a bright color but maybe just white, or a whitewash.

And this is the beast. I just got this for my birthday from Micah. It is super old from the second hand market. It is a big, beautiful dresser. I have NEVER had a dresser as long as I have lived here, most people get by with those plastic drawers, so this is definitely special. Micah sanded and stained it. When I found it at the market is was gross, unstained and COVERED in dried mud, and it was beautiful.

Did I ever show you my... house?

(If you live here, this post will bore you to tears.) I have been wanting to share some pictures of our house for everyone that will never get to see it in person :( We were really blessed to find this house about a year ago. It has been fun trying to decorate it, and since I am in hyper nest mode, it has been getting extra attention.



My bamboo chair where I sit and blow bubbles, I made the cushions myself.

More of the porch, an abandoned bird cage. I am thinking about painting it... And some cilantro plants that are now dead. I have no gardening talent, and Micah keeps wistfully mentioning a garden.

Front door, my little sign I did and some of our window shelves.


When you walk in there are some photos and pictures to the right. Picture of Eliza, a Chinese New Year's card from 7 years ago (year of the chicken?), a Thai orchid, nondescript tree, thrift store lamp and a family photo that predates Ashley, wow that is one old picture because Ashley is getting up there!!!
Little tray with lone living houseplant.

And some shots of some shelves in our windows. One special thing about this house. Some of the windows have little shelves in them. This is my 4th house in Thailand, and we have never had such a luxury

Thrift store birds.

Orphaned deer, used to be Christopher and Asia's. We took her in, she's a peach.

Little bowls. More house pictures coming soon.

A Little Picture of Our Place

This is our little bench/toy boxish thing. Its actually not little its over 2 meters long. Its right next to our front door. It manages to hold most of Eliza's toys and gives some extra seating. We had the bench made, so it was a miracle that we were able to find pillows the perfect size for the seat part and baskets the perfect size for the toys. Of course I had to to a lot of hunting, but that is normal fare if you want to furnish your home. Some of the throw pillows I bought and some I made.
