Entryway

I have been looking for something for our entryway for a while. It has been bare ever since we moved into our house. I wanted to get an antique and I just hadn't found the right piece. A few weekends ago I went home for a good friends bridal shower and my mom and I decided we would head up to the antique store in my hometown. We started looking around and we found the perfect piece of furniture to go in our entryway. I wanted something with some drawers and cabinets so I could store things in it, I always need more storage space. I am so excited about this piece. Here are some pictures of what the entryway looked like before and after.

Our beautiful new piece of furniture:
Now all I need is a pretty mirror to put above it and I hope to find one this weekend!

Also this past weekend my husband went with one of his good friends down to New Orleans to the Saints vs. Cowboys game. He has never been to an NFL game before and he said he had a blast and it was such a great experience. He ate some good food and hung out with some good friends. I was a little jealous at first but I am glad he got to go and experience that and that he had a good time.

I hope that everyone has a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS!! We are off to Auburn Thursday and Birmingham Friday! I hope everyone has a very safe Hoilday!!

Our Christmas Decorations!

This post is long overdue. I have had my Christmas decorations up since the weekend after Thanksgiving and I am just now getting around to posting them. Ever since the week before Thanksgiving, we have had something to do every weekend! Rob and I set out to get our Christmas tree and I think we got a very pretty one. We brought it home and started decorating it, Rob actually helped out this year with the decorating...haha. I love this time of year, Christmas music and decorations, the only thing I don't like about it is the busyness of the season. I am going post a few pictures of our Christmas decorations this year.

Getting the tree.



Our beautiful Tree!

This box is just some of our ornaments



Rob and I putting ornaments on the tree and Allie checking everything out.



These are two of my favorite ornaments. The first one is our Auburn ornament(WAR EAGLE) and then the other one is the ornament we brought back from our honeymoon in St. Lucia.



Our front door, I love our wreath that my mom got for us and then the two lighted trees by the door I got at Costco last year.




A few of the decorations around our house.

And the stockings were hung by the chimney with care, in hopes that St. Nick would soon be there.
