2 things I love around the house

For one, I love this Idea!

Kassi from BacWoods Fern finds 2 things she is loving around her house every Tuesday. This week her sister Keely from Mannland5 joined in. I couldn't resist so here are 2 things I am loving this week around my house:

This coffee table my dad made me 7 years ago. I love the shape so much and I love it even more because my dad made it.


Please excuse the mess around my couch. Maybe if I wasn't blogging right now I'd clean it:)


Next is my Peace project. I got these letters from a craft store and covered them with paper from presents people gave me. Yes, I am one of those people that slowly unwrap gifts and save the paper. I am crazy like that. In this case I am so glad I did. You can't really see in the photo but the red letters are this really pretty paper a friend found in Chinatown. They are my favorite part of B's room.

I hope that his becomes a regular Tuesday thing. If enough people are interested there will be a link up next week. I love getting a little glimpse into peoples homes and their personal style. Hope you join in!

Those are both great! I love the idea of using wrapping paper!

Your table is beautiful. The wall color is just as beautiful-- I love it.

What a fun post. I went over to Keely yesterday and saw her two favorite things. After I move I would love to join this blog hop. I hope it becomes one :o) I just wish it was on another day other than Tuesday....I already have two other blog hops that day.

The coffee table is awesome...your Dad is super talented. And the Peace sign....love it!!!! I have the boys's names in their room but I used scrapbooking paper instead of wrapping paper. I like the idea of wrapping paper though :o)

Next week, I want to join this blog hop! What fun! I'm going to check it out!

It's great how you talk about your dad so often in your posts - I can tell how much you love him. I just lost mine on Sept. 23rd, and I loved him so much! It blesses me to see when daughters and dads are close like that. My daughter and husband are like that. :)

Have a great day, Maura! As always, I love reading your blog!!! (And I'm REALLY loving the new camera!)
