Mac & cheese, anyone?

So this weekend - after months of holiday and work distractions - we finally got back to our long to-do list of house projects. This week's project: start creating a warm, cozy paradise in our master bedroom.

After many sore muscles and paint fumes, we are on our way. We are going for a "Far East - meets - tropical" fusion type look... Trust me, it will make much more sense when it all comes together. Let's just say the picture in my head looks awesome. :)

Anyway, here is a sneak peek as the project progresses.

BOO-YAH!

Ha! It does exist!

For the past four months, Phil and I have been looking for furniture to fill our home. I had been picturing for our living room a clean, modern-looking kidney-shaped coffee table with two levels. After four months of not finding anything even remotely close I gave up and re-shifted my "vision." Of course, the very next furniture shopping trip we made - poof! - there it was, sitting right at the top of the showroom stairs just waiting for me to whisk it away.

I give you: "Our Coffee Table"
