valentine's day The Gallery Wall is Up

I've been day dreaming about this for quite some time. I love photographs and I especially love the pictures I have recently received from my mother. They are black and white pictures of my grandmother when she was in grade school, her confirmation, and wedding to my grandfather. I also got a picture of my great grandparents wedding day with my great aunt and uncle as their maid of honor and best man. These pictures mean the WORLD to me and I am amazed at just how much my grandmother, mother, and I look alike.

I purchased all the frames from Walmart, Target, and Kmart. All were sale and came with mats. Mr. Jetplane helped a great deal in the hanging of all the pictures...with only minimal complaining.

valentine's day Now we're WORKING....

Hello all... and welcome to my home office. 1st things 1st, we aren't completely done here. The shelves aren't organized properly and I still need to hang other things on the wall. I also still have to find something to put my printer on. But I wanted to post a couple of pictures.

This is the view from the door. I'm a little disappointed that the color isn't showing up quite as bright as it does in person. I selected Weathered Glass from Eddie Bauer at Lowe's. valentine's day Please ignore the mass wires, we're still working on that. Can you spot a lil puggie?

On the wall is actually an art piece I did myself. They are all pieces of cards that we received from our wedding. We had tons of cards and I was saving them for some reason. I wanted to make something out of them but I couldn't figure out what.

I used an exacto knife and cut strips, lots and lots of strips. Then did a basket weave with them them and glued them to canvas. It might not be for everyone, but I love it.

valentine's day And I lil more pug had to get in there....

I'm not finished, but I'm at a good stopping point for a couple of weeks. I still need curtains and to hang more pictures.

valentine's day Pug Friday - Home Office Edition

Well since this is my 1st full week at the Casa de Jetplane Home Office I thought this could be a fitting tribute. Enjoy!!

FYI- Paint and Rug were purchased last night. This office will be totally different by Tuesday! I will admit I did chicken out a little bit, its not as turquoise as I had originally envisioned, its a little more greenish/blue sea glass color... I got to the paint counter and lost my strength. But no fear its still going to be bright as hell in here...

valentine's day Home Office is Becoming a REALITY

This weekend the transformation is happening....

My inspiration is coming to life, I'm very excited and Mr. Jetplane is a little weirded out. He can't believe I want to paint my office turquoise and I can't believe he doesn't get it. Oh well...

Here is the inspiration...
My new desk from JCPenny is working out great and as of yesterday we have blinds up throughout the house. Thank you GOD for privacy...Mr. Jetplane kept telling the lady at Lowe's that he needs blinds in his house so he can walk around naked... yeah that's my hubby...quite the funny guy.


I've even found a 'cheap' zebra print rug that will be going down as well. I am so flipping excited... now can someone come over and paint... I'm not looking forward to that part.

Room inspiration from here...
