So, about 18 posts ago or so I said I would put up pictures of the sun room and the living room. Well, I hope you weren't holding your breath! :) The sun room has mostly been a huge mess, but my mom came to visit for a few days and I got it spic and span for her (since I don't want my mom to think she didn't do a good job teaching me to clean!) and so I finally took some pictures. BUT...these are just pics of MY side of the sun room. The other part of the sun room is about twice the length of my side and has Matt's guitars and music equipment, a hand-me-down, worn couch and the TV armoire. Nothing matches, or is decorated, and it probably won't ever be since we plan on being in this house only through June of next year, so I doubt I'll want to take pictures of it. My side is really the only part worth looking at anyway...mainly for my crazy organizational skills and overuse of the label maker! :)

The printer and my organizational system for bills. PAY--the bills that need to be paid; FILE--the paid bills that need to be filed; and MISC--where the label maker, my address stamp and other misc stuff reside. These were originally supposed to be used for flowers, but I put the scrapbook letters on them.
I have oodles of ribbon...I just love ribbon! And I needed a way to store it so that I could actually SEE what I had. I searched the Internet and found some different ideas and decided to use this one. It has worked out nicely.
These are clear glass jars that hold scrap ribbon that wasn't long enough to put in those baskets with the holes.
A while back, I found two of these planters with the chalkboard section on them for $2 at JoAnn Fabrics on clearance. I wasn't sure what I was going to use them for, so they sat around for a little while with nothing in them, but I eventually realized that I had no place to put any new ribbon I bought, so these two quickly became full of ribbon and serve as another storage area for it. (They sit in the sink that is in the sun room, since we never use that sink. Notice the stopper?)

Tomorrow, I plan to post pics of the living room finally and also have a super cute video of Juliette to share! Mom is here and Matt has class until 8:30 tomorrow night, so we plan on hitting the road, doing some shopping for Mom's new house and showing Mom around Lafayette. I'm looking forward to it!

Check back tomorrow for more!
