Friday afternoon my mom, sister, and I went to a spa and got massages. For my birthday (way back in January) my mom and Meg told me they would take me to get a massage and pedicure at one of our favorite spas. Well, at the time, with a c-section only a week before a massage was kind of out of the questions. Last weekend (after the yard sale) I was just like, "I WANT my massage. NOW!"
And it was HEAVEN! I am so getting a massage once a month.
Meg's birthday is next Friday and we celebrated on Saturday by going to our favorite Tea House. And what would a visit to the Tea House be without the HATS?!
For her birthday gift I made Meg two necklaces. I've never made jewelry before, but they didn't turn out too shabby for my first try.
I call this one "Lucky To Bee In Love."
And this one is called "The Secret Garden." (I got this one out of a jewelry making book, so it's not an original. Well, I did have to modify the one part because I didn't like the way the book said to attach the key.)
Last night my mom and Barry babysat Lil' Mootz. I missed my little man, but it sure was wonderful to have a night off and sleep in until 10:00AM.
After catching up on "Property Ladder" this morning I decided to take on my own house. The rooms in our house are pretty small. Our bedroom seems especially small because our bedroom furniture is HUGE. I hated the set up, so I did some rearranging.
The before photos (ignore the mess, please):
The is from the foot of the bed.
The is from in front of the closet.
This is right inside the door. What you can't see is that just to the right of the photo and at the end of the bed is an armoire. It's a very cramped walkway between the two.
As you can see, not much space in our bedroom. When we moved in I was very against putting any furniture in front of the window. I've since changed my mind because I think we would have much more room if we utilized the window wall.
After four hours of moving furniture and dusting and vacuuming, we have the lovely after photos:
This is from the same angle as the first photo in the before pics.
This photo was taken from the corner I'm taking a photo of in the second before photo.
This is the same angle as the third before photo.
I've very very very pleased with the new set-up of our bedroom. We have tons more space. The only thing I'm not too pleased with is there is no bedside table on Stonewall's side of the bed. The one we have is too big to fit in the space, so I'll have to buy something smaller before he gets home. Oh well. The only thing he ever really used it for was to hide cigarettes from me, but he said he quit, so I guess he won't need the drawer space.
How was everyone's weekend?

Wow that looks great and I am ultra impressed with your muscles!!
I'm cleaning up rooms today! Glad I stopped by, this will motivate me!
Those necklaces are beautiful! I want one! LOL!
Massages are the best! I hope I can get one for Christmas!
Sorry so choppy, cold medicine...
You made that jewelry? That's amazing! "Lucky to bee in love" is completely adorable. You should have an etsy shop, I'd buy!
I agree it looks like there is much more room now. And the jewelry is very cut.
I love rearranging. And massages, althought I went for a pregnancy one a couple weeks back and the lady talked the WHOLE time, kind ruined it.
That's a great rearrange! Lucky you on that spa!!!!
Love your hat! Adorable.
I'm glad you got to get a massage. I just had one a few weeks ago, and I have come to the conclusion that mommies should get massuses (or hot masseurs) in some kind of package deal when we bring home our kids from the hospitals.
I love rearranging rooms. I just did the kids' room this weekend!
Oh crap and I meant to say the jewelry is too cute. Are you going to start making some to sell?
wow the bed looks fantastic! and seriously...i want that bee necklace! i'm in LOVE with it!
I love the necklaces you made. Where did you get your supplies for the necklace?
You have a nice bedroom, just make a few arrangements, and it will be perfect.
I really love the beautiful bedroom furniture in the pictures. It looks very romantic and inviting. I wish I had something like that in my bedroom but I lack the space for such a set. Thanks for the great info!
