Hinkle House Tour- Master Bedroom

You've seen the living room; now it's time for the master. I don't really have a certain order, but I guess you can say I'm moving clock-wise around my house!

Our lovely "before" pictures. You can see the color they painted on the walls in the bedroom, bathroom, and cabinets. We had some nasty carpet, too.

This is where the bed is now...
AFTERS! :)

When you walk in from the hallway, our bed is on the left.

This is to give you an idea of how tall the ceilings are!

The door to the hallway is on the left of the chest {or chest of drawers depending on what you call it :))

Hallway door on left; bathroom door on right {yes, it's a clown size door- you should see my 6'1 hubby walk through/under it}. The fish bowl holds Brad's loose change. The picture was taken as Brad and I were leaving in the limo after our wedding. The candle & candle holder are from the wedding too.

Our dresser! Another wedding picture; a piece of pottery with "Taylor" made by Hinkle Creek Pottery and we live in Hinkle :) My grandmother gave me the plant-stand to use as a night stand since ours won't fit against the wall. It works out really well!

The door on the left is my tiny closet and the door on the right goes into the living room.

Now you can see all three doors {closet, living room, hallway)

My "night-stand" is a black bar stool- it's the only thing small enough to fit into that space and I have to have a night-stand.

Notice from the front, you can't really tell what sort of lamp we have...

That's because Brad was allowed to help decorate...

In October of 2005, my apartment in Oxford was broken into while I was home for a wedding. The thieves stole my entire jewelry box filled with jewelry. That Christmas, Brad gave me a new jewelry box---- and it was filled with jewelry {earrings, necklaces, bracelets)!

That's the end of the tour! Thanks for stopping by! :)

Autumn!

Today, Thursday, September 23rd is officially the first day of Autumn {or "fall" as I like to call it}. YIPPEEEEEEEEEEE

Now if only the weather felt like fall and not summer... we have been breaking records almost all week with our 95+ degree temperatures! I'm ready for the leaves to start changing colors, ready for long sleeve t's, ready for my pumpkin and spice candles, ready for corn and hay and scarecrows, ready for... ok, fall is my favorite time of year!

Hinkle House Tour- Living Room

This was our lovely living room on the day we closed... this picture was taken coming in from the kitchen

And after

This picture was taken coming in from the front door

Excuse the fan chain in the center of the picture

This was taken from the doorway to the kitchen...

Excuse the large dog and toys in the picture; Amos refused to move for the pictures

September?!

It's been almost a month since my last post (again). I'm not too busy to update; just that there isn't much to update!

Since my last post we've celebrated Labor Day and the opening weekend of Dove Season. Pug & Tyler came in that weekend to hunt, but they didn't have much luck. I shot one of Brad's shotguns and I hate to say it but I'm a terrible shot. I would say that I need more practice, but that would involve me shooting that huge gun again and I'm not sure my shoulder could handle it. Ha!

Heather, a sweet friend of mine had her second baby on 9/8. His name is Hayes Stephen Foster and he looks so much like his older sister's baby pictures (in my opinion!).

My laptop & iPod have been "in the shop" for a total of 5 weeks. Two weeks the first time; two the second and then 6 days this time. I think they finally have it figured out, but I should know for sure. Since the laptop has been "sickly" and Snoopy, Brad's plane has been "sickly", Brad and I have finally gotten to spend a little time together. We've gone shopping, shooting, watching movies and making smores- which is really nice, but I know it'll be a little different once the plane is back in the hangar and bow season opens in a few weeks. Not to mention football season is in full swing!

We actually watched Saints v 49ers last night. I was pulling for the Saints for two reasons {and one of them is not because they won the Super Bowl last year}. Reason #1 is because I really like Drew Brees and reason #2 is because Anthony Dixon plays for the 49ers and I do not like him. Dixon comes from Mississippi State where Brad and all of his family keep season tickets. I don't really care for Dixon, but he's the best thing that has come out of MSU in a while so he's trying to be a big deal with the 49ers. Anywho, my Saints won! Brad wasn't happy about that, but was glad that Dixon scored his first NFL TD.

Next up on our agenda is this weekend. I'll start with Friday first. Courtney and I have tickets to see Jason Aldean and Luke Bryan in Tupelo. Her birthday is 9/27 and she was basically begging me to take her for her birthday. To be honest, I hope I get my laptop back in time because I'm going to have to look both of them up to see what they sing. I'm not a huge music fan, but Courtney knows everything about everyone and knows every song they sing. Chloe is starting to do the same! Saturday morning, Brad and I will make our way to the Iuka Air Show {it's really a fly-in since they're aren't any aerobatics going on}. We went last year and it was pretty fun. Chloe's 5th birthday party is also Saturday. We're going skating this year! After the party, Brad and I will probably make our way to Starkville, unless of course, I can convince him to go without me. I'd hate for him to miss kick-off {plus I would hate to have to listen to those gosh-awful cowbells for 3 hours-- those things are legal now!!}. Sunday will probably be spent recuperating! Ha!

Check back soon! I'm going to start my Hinkle House Tour. Don't get too excited. I'll probably only do one room a week, but that's better than nothing :)
