A little more like home...


So we got this piano for $100 from our neighbors a few months ago.  It was ugly.  So I painted it! I painted it "old white", then distressed it, with gold legs and trim.  You can't tell that it's gold in the picture, but it is.  I got the idea from Emily's coffee table that she painted (which is super cute and she should post a picture of)!



This couch I scored at a yard sale a few weeks ago for $100.  SOOOO much better than our old black leather "man-cave" couch that's been in our living room.  It makes the whole room feel much more home-y. 



In other news, we (Rod & I & Caitlin!!!) have to speak in church next Sunday.  It'll be Caitlin's first talk in sacrament meeting (although she has borne her testimony once before).  She's nervous, but I think pretty excited, too! 

And Brooke, I want to hear all about your first day of work!!!!
