I found a few cute onesies for my one year old and yet <i>another</i> green shirtfor the two year old. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br></div><div style="text-align: left;">Then I spotted this simple wood tray!

We took our engagement photos a few days ago, and it was amazing! It's so real! I have done all the invitations and stuff on my own, so it has been really fun to use my DIY creativity!<br />
<br />
My best friends, bridesmaid Devon came over the other day and helped me DIY the thank you tags going on the maple syrup jars for my guests. So we "dip-dyed" 100 tags and then I wrote our thank you message on each one. Here is how they turned out!<br />

Badger has been hanging out with us outside while Mike and I have been working on the landscaping and the gardens :) Kitty stays inside, but usually watches from the window. Here are some photos from this spring!<br />

We are also planning a wedding that is going to be fantastic and wonderful, and I can't wait to photo dump into this blog omg! So many DIY projects. We are doing a DIY Flea Market Style Wedding theme!<br />
<br />
Anyways, I'm having a blast with spring cleaning. We have been working a lot outside to get the gardens ready, but this weekend has been rainy, so we've turned our attention to the interior of the home.<br />
<br />
So in cleaning and organizing the house, I rearranged my guest room / office. The room looked like this a few days ago: <a href="http://www.quardecor.com/2014/01/guest-room-office.html">Guest Room / Home Office</a>.<br />

I wanted space. I felt like the bed was taking up a lot of the room, and it was feeling cluttered, which was not conducive to my work! I cleared out my stuff and light some candles! It is officially spring cleansed. Now here is what it looks like now.<br />

Notice the rainy day lighting. I will have to take a few more photos when the sun comes out :) Have a wonderful day!<br />

You're supposed to make a cocktail with those lemons, sit back, sip and enjoy! Wait, is that how it goes? Anyways, there are many variations to the saying, all of which essentially say the same thing: "make the best of it."
<br />
<br />
Well, this is more of a case of, "When the house gives you a room with outdated yellow wallpaper..." So we are making the best of it! My decor theme in this room has evolved to a light and airy Victorian Cottage room, for now. I still have some things on my list of to-do's in here, including curtains, wall art, another lamp and possibly a dresser somewhere, but this is where it is now and I couldn't wait to share it!<br />
<br />
I anticipate that this room will be transformed into a nursery within the next few years, but for now, it's a lovely guest room, always prepped with fresh sheets and an extra down blanket for those cold Vermont winter nights.
<br />
<br />
So enjoy the little photo tour :)

I finally hung some things on the wall, but I have a very large empty wall across from the bed that I have to do something with! It's just so bare.
<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, I love how comfy the room is. Right now I have a little hot tea kettle in here, it is SO cold in Vermont today! It's actually -10! But come summer, I may move a few things around in that corner with the cane chair.
<br />
<br />
Right after I took the photos I set up my keyboard to practice some tunes on ;) I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend. Good vibes!

And that means I am in the mood for some tummy warming foods. I made this chili a few years ago actually, and found this recipe in my archives. I would likely use ground turkey and put the chili over brown rice pasta. So good! Here is the recipe! Enjoy and stay warm :)

I love how it turned out! We recently packed all the pillows and accessories away in prep for the winter. It's too cold to hang out there now, which is why I've been so focused on the guest room! It's coming along :)<br />

Lately I have been feeling inspired. This week I made it a point to create, design, paint, write, laugh, sing and stretch as much as possible! I am feeling so fabulous! On Monday I did yoga, on Tuesday I cooked a delicious dinner with my best friend, on Wednesday I checked a few home design books out of the library before yoga. On Thursday morning I painted watercolors after my 2 mile hike with Badger and that night I hung out with Mike for some seriously needed TV & talk time. <br />
<br />
Today I woke up feeling fulfilled in so many aspects of my life. I am so grateful! Okay enough life stuff, onto the house talk!<br />
<br />
I've been trying to solidify the guest room design. I know I want it to be a <a href="http://www.quardecor.com/2013/10/home-office-inspiration.html">practical home office/bedroom</a>, I just have to design and find! I just wanted to post a photo of what the room looks like right now.<br />

I just wanted to share some of the photos I have taken over the course of the past week or two. Winter is slowly creeping up on us here in Vermont, and I feel energies shifting! I love taking brisk walks with Badger in the morning, and I know he can't wait for the snow.<br />

I love a clean home and I love when everything has a place. Mike has a lot of clothes and not enough space to put it all away. So I quickly decided to find another dresser for the room! I had an idea of the size, so I just waited for it to appear.
<br />
<br />
Sure enough a few days later a man pulled up to my shop to sell me a dresser. It was the perfect size, but definitely needed some cosmetic changes to <a href="http://www.quardecor.com/2012/07/master-bedroom-dresser-do-over.html">fit in with our white and blue decor</a>! We haggled a bit and I got it for $80! I put about $20 into the hardware and paint, and fixed her up.
<br />
<br />
Here is a picture of the piece before its makeover:

And I LOVED It!I've just had a whirlwind week, and it was the best week of my life! I saw a lot of people I love in a short amount of time. It really recharged my battery :) This was my week:<br />
<br />
Saturday, June 14: I almost missed my 6 am flight to NY. Attended my little brother Johnny's high school graduation at my alma mater and celebrated with my McCabe family. [<a href="http://www.quardecor.com/2012/06/happy-fathers-day-life-lesson.html">if you need to revisit the family tree, click here</a>] Then my sister Katie and I drove up to Connecticut to meet up with the Miller family, and stopped at Mike's Aunt Nancy's on the way to pick up some wonderful gifts.<br />
<br />
Sunday, June 15: Hung out with my sister Rachel and her husband Nathan and their adorable newborn baby daughter for a wonderful father's day!<br />
<div>
<br />
Monday, June 16: Drove from Connecticut to my house in Vermont with the Millers.<br />
<br />
Tuesday, June 17: Did some much needed summer time Green Mountain State site seeing! Have I ever mentioned how much I LOVE VERMONT :)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Wednesday, June 18: Worked at my furniture store and had a ton of fun! Sold my <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/theresalorraine/6666863173/">queen size captains bed</a> for $400 on Craigslist, then had dinner with my bestie Devon. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Thursday, June 19: Worked at the shop till Dan came to cover for me at 4. Mike and I then drove to Rochester to see more Miller family!<br />
<br />
Friday & Saturday: Had a wonderful and relaxing getaway vaca with the Millers in a fabulous rental on Lake Ontario. We celebrated a belated father's day for Grandpa and an early birthday for Grandma.<br />
<br />
Today, Sunday June 23: Mike and I drove home from Rochester, NY, and made sure to pass through Saratoga to look at the awesome houses!! When we got home we both gave Badger and Biscuit lots of attention. Thanks to Mike's Dad for watching the little fluff balls!!!!!!</div>

You would think finding pieces for the room would be easy, seeing as I own a furniture consignment store, but it's a very challenging task!!<br />
<br />
I've decided exactly what I want, now I just need to find the pieces. Right now Michael's childhood bedroom is looking nice and cozy, but it certainly isn't finished -- at least not by my definition of the word!<br />
<br />

I want to brag about my very clever idea. I framed the Wi-Fi password and put it in our guest room. Mike and I cannot figure out to change it so it's stuck being this ridiculously long code of numebrs and letters. Instead of it being scribbled on the back of a Dunkin Donuts receipt in the kitchen junk drawer, I printed and framed it! :)<br /><br />

The finished product had been leaning up against my closet door for about a month. So the other night Mike and I were brushing our teeth when he asked me if I noticed anything different in my closet. I took a peek and sure enough he had mounted it to the back wall in my closet and it looked great! BAH he is awesome. My fabulous handy man! He is also really awesome at yard work, I'll have to post some pictures of his awesome landscaping ASAP!<br />
<br />
Anyways, Mike's Dad gave me this printer drawer to sell at Furniture Consignment Center, but I had this brilliant idea (that I saw on Pinterest once).<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-sOwCzUN1RuU/UYj5Vn9FzkI/AAAAAAAAG-w/SCIluggTCQo/s1600/IMG_6894.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-sOwCzUN1RuU/UYj5Vn9FzkI/AAAAAAAAG-w/SCIluggTCQo/s400/IMG_6894.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
First I cleaned it, very well. Then I taped off the metal siding and spray primed the entire drawer.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-JJ_FfUFcjYg/UYj5Vrc30lI/AAAAAAAAG-0/b4wO9GGmtJo/s1600/IMG_6904.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="280" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-JJ_FfUFcjYg/UYj5Vrc30lI/AAAAAAAAG-0/b4wO9GGmtJo/s400/IMG_6904.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
Then I painted it! This took a long time. I kept thinking I was done, but then I would find a bunch of sections I had missed. The second coat was easier :)<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-wETmPXHYTD8/UYj5VhwaC1I/AAAAAAAAG-4/tDt0SyiNx_M/s1600/IMG_6905.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="217" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-wETmPXHYTD8/UYj5VhwaC1I/AAAAAAAAG-4/tDt0SyiNx_M/s400/IMG_6905.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />

<br />
THEN I used a really small drill bit to make holes in the top of most of the little sections, and used pliers to screw in each eye pin and hook pin. This also took a long time.<br />
<br />

<br />
But it was all totally worth it! Before I felt overwhelmed by the big pile of earrings in my jewelry box. The lid couldn't close any more! But <i>now</i> I'm ready for more earrings! <br />
I am going to start collecting funky peace sign earrings, it's my new thing. <span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 26px; line-height: 33px; text-align: center;">☮</span><br />
