Shopping and Decorating

I'm tryig to get each room furnished and decorated slowly but surely. I have been focusing on the guest bedroom. I saw this pillow in Pier One the other day. I want to use these colors in that room. I've got a red duvet cover on that bed. I her got shams to go with it, but I found some at Bed, Bath, and Beyond that match perfectly.
I liked this pillow too. I want to use the teal and orange as accent colors.
The antique cabinet Kev's dad gave us is in there. I still need a headboard for the bed and at least one side table and lamp. I want to make a headboard out of pallets. I have the pallets. I just have to tear the boards off. I really like this lamp. They had this side table at Ross too. I kind of like have a table that is metal so there isn't so much wood in there. It was cheap, so I may go back and get it this week.
This picture was at Pier One. I really like it. I think maybe I could paint it.
The office has a purple and gray floral comforter on it that I've had for awhile. I would like to find something not so girly. I like this orange and gray. The bed in there is a twin. I want to get a daybed frame and make it into a couch like area.
I am going to keep my focus for now on the guest bedroom. The pillow at Pier One was pricey, but will probably make that my splurge item in there. I'm sure I can find a lamp similar way cheaper than that one. I may be able to paint the base on a cheap one and add the shade.

I took Hatfield to the vet this morning to get some sort of booster shot and his nails clipped. He is such a baby! Look at him hiding under my chair.

Football Merchandise

It's football season and Walmart has all their Razorback merchandise out. I was browsing the aisle the other day and saw these. I immediately thought whiskey! A great way to sneak liquor into the stadium. Of course the back says intended for water only. Yeah right! No one looks at this and says water.

And a Roof

They finished the roof up today! Back of the house. Front of the house. They use these to hold the plywood together.

Floating the Caddo River

We floated the Caddo River with some friends Saturday. The scenery was beautiful and the water was flowing nicely. It took us a little over four hours and we only flipped the canoe once.  We came to some quick rapids and very low trees. While trying to duck under the trees, so our heads didn't get knocked off, we both leaned too far and there we went. Luckily everything was in dry bags and tied down. Well, almost everything. Kev was trying to put his phone back into the dry box but didn't get to it fast enough. His phone got wet, but seems to work ok after sitting in a bag of rice for a few days. I didn't have my shoes strapped tight so they slid off. A friend in front of us managed to grab one shoe and one paddle. We carefully walked the canoe across the rapid and dumped the water out. I will admit I was pissed off about my shoe. I didn't talk to Kev for awhile. I know it wasn't his fault, but I wanted to be mad at someone. He promised he would replace th
