how do you know he loves you?

when he spends 2.5 hours

driving, lifting, packing, carrying, arranging

furniture that you found on ksl [ like craigs list ]

and could not bear to live without.

if he does all of this 

in intense heat

up 3 flights of stairs

and the day after having an insane push-up competition with his brothers...

if he does all of this

and doesn't yell or complain or look at you with an odd expression

then he loves you :)

Handsome Man must love me.

and ohhh do i love him.

look what he brought home

Furniture Piece No.1

 a lovely little nightstand 

she sits so serenely beside our bed

ready to store all my bits and bobs

and she is oh so lusciously vintage

could you just die with joy?

i must scour around and find some treasures

to rest atop of gleaming surface

do notice my lovely bedspread.

my yellow and gray bedroom theme

has only just begun

i'll be making pillows and posting tutorials ...

Furniture Piece No.2

a dresser so tall and proud

he has drawers that open smoothly

and has soooo much space

not to mention, built in dividers

- thank goodness, for my undies and socks were beginning to riot amongst each other -

- now they are safely separated -

do note Miss Pillow...

she couldn't help but sneak in for another photo shoot.

[ i believe she is growing rather vain ]

now i need to hang up lovely pictures and prints

and make a lampshade for the lamp i got

[ thrifted $4 ]

and i need to crochet a pillow for Mr. Armchair

[ also thrifted $15 ]

Furniture Piece No.3

another dresser

but she is long and sturdy

we decided she was too sweet to hide away in our bedroom

and put her in our family room

with our [dusty] TV perched atop

her numerous drawers store movies, controllers, games, and such

a very organized lovely lady.

- do note my pregnant self in the reflection -

BLAH

someone needs to throw me an intervention

... the sweets too often rule my pregnancy cravings ...

so Handsome Man loves me

and I love him

and we both love our furniture

- though probably me more than him -

- actually, i think he hates them ... drat you 3 flights of stairs -

love
