I'm on a salad kick. I suppose there are worse things, right? So, I made a few this weekend.


First, a simple salad. Cucumbers, carrots, homemade croutons, and a few dashes of Salad Supreme.

This is a yummy dressing. If you've never tried it, do.


Next, this salad had strawberries, pineapples, mandarin oranges, de-seeded cucumbers and pecans. Yum!!

This dressing is the bomb!



In other food news, Adam got a grill. We made steaks and corn on the cob.


Griffey approves.

I don't believe I ever blogged about our plan for bathrooms. Our house has 3 bathrooms. One is in the master. (Pics of it later.) Then the hallway off the main part of the house has 2 small, but full bathrooms.
This is the first bathroom. It is painted the same red as is in our living room. (Glidden Red Delicious) We have navy blue rugs and towels, along with a white shower curtain. The prints on the wall are by my step dad, and are pretty nifty if I do say so myself. I'm sure eventually, we'll add a few touches, but for now I am happy with how it has turned out.
This is the 2nd bathroom on the hallway. As you can see, we have just done SO much with it. This is just outside the guest room. (pics of that later, too.) The guest room is going to have khaki walls with tealish curtains. The bedspread is brown, teal and khaki. We'll have photo prints from Maui hung in there. SO, this bathroom, I'm thinking we'll paint tealish and have it compliment the guest room.

I think I need to learn some landscaping. 2011 will be the landscaping year, I hope.

Long time, no post. I'll try to work on that, honest! We bought curtains around Christmastime for some areas of the house. This weekend, we finally got some rods and got to hanging. We have only got the living room and kitchen hung so far, but progress is progress and I will take it! This coming weekend, I'm hoping we can paint the guest room and hang the curtains there. I also need to fix the curtains in our bedroom, and we have to hang the "man room" curtains. You will never guess what color they are.... haha I also finally got the coffee bags framed, and Adam hung them for me. They are actual original bags that raw beans are shipped in from different countries. Here are some pictures for now. Ignore the mess. I'll try to take more this weekend. :)


What do you think? Too kitchy? It wasn't my original vision, but
I liked them, they match, and I figured I'd try them out.

Glidden Red Delicious on half the living room/game area. Love red.
















Glidden Cinnamon Stick in the kitchen. This pic does not do it justice. I'm absolutely in love with this color. I'm so happy with how it's coming out.
















Glidden Smoky Mauve is currently on the opposing walls in the living room. This color came out in no way like the swatch. I should have bought a tester, dang it! It's actually like a lavendar color, though you can't tell it so much in this picture. We are going to be re-doing the living room and using this color in the guest room instead.











...the help....rawr. lol :)
