Final pictures of my trip in Utah

 The final three days I spent in Utah with my sister, we did some shopping! We had grand ideas of doing much more than we did! We had thought about painting her family room, and crafting Halloween or Christmas houses, but we did finish a few things on our list! We went to Gardner Village to see the witches! I LOVED all the fall decorations =)


 A photo op! hehe!

 I {heart} the Halloween bunting, all the pumpkins, straw and corn stalks.
 Loved the log pumpkins too, hmm wonder if I could get my hubby to cut me some of those.
 Fun witch flying on a bike... we got lots of inspiration so we went home and did this to Becky's front porch!
 We found the bench, table and orange wooden basket at a place called Home Again! Such an awesome place. It is a used furniture, antique, consignment store. We went to 2 different ones in Salt Lake City. We picked up the pillow and throw on our trip to IKEA, picked up the pumpkin at Michael's and lastly picked up the mum at Smith's. Becky will use her Cricut to cut out vinyl to put on the pumpkin.
 So much fun! I think she will have fun decorating the bench and table for the different seasons. I am soo jealous we don't have a Home Again here in Bellingham. Next time I am driving ;)
 We also picked up this throw and pillow at IKEA for her piano room.
 IKEA also for this pillow (which will go on the bench for winter) and the window covering. We only got one up, her hubby Matt will need to get the others up I love the homey feel it now has.
We made some Betty Boos.
 This one is mine! The pattern came from here.
 My last day before jumping on the plane to go home we headed up to Snowbird to have lunch with my brother Randy. I will let the pictures speak for themselves... we had lunch then took the tram up to the top of the mountain! BREATHTAKINGLY BEAUTIFUL =)








Thanks Randy for taking an extra long lunch to spend with your sisters, and taking us up the mountain! Thanks Becky and Matt for a GREAT time!

Now, I guess it is time for me to get some stuff done at home! Thanks for popping in, have a wonderful weekend.

Lots more pictures Utah and Nevada this time!

 After my trip to San Antonio with Kari I planned to stay a few extra days in Utah with my sister Becky and her family! I am so glad I did! The picture above I snapped out the window of the bedroom I stayed in. GORGEOUS!
 We spent the first morning at soccer games. This is Sydney's game.
 Then Ellie's game, which my brother in law Matt coaches.

 After soccer the girls headed out for lunch and pedicures. Sydney and Ellie waiting for their turn to begin.
 Becky, Kim and I (picture taken by Sydney)

 Sydney, the little girls got to have their toes and fingers done =)
All five pedicures! haha! we had a great time, I think next time we will try to head up to Snowbird where my brother works and get massages and use the spa ;)
 On Sunday I made a quick trip to Nevada to see Adam, Lacey
Jestin
And my gorgeous nieces, great nephews and the girls mom and dad. (stole the picture from FB)

One more post to come, the rest of my trip in Utah! Thanks for sticking with me...

Update on Justin and Genna's house





Genna and Justin worked in their front yard last weekend, so here is the after! They are really enjoying being home owners =)

Remember what the before was like?

Genna has been able to unpack the boxes I took to her so here is a little updated picture of the kitchen.

The dining room, I think this room is my favorite! She is doing a wine theme in the dining room and a mushroom theme in the kitchen.

Guest bedroom. Yes, she is a red girl! It looks so nice Genna! Love the book case!

The man cave and her office.



Another angle of kitchen. I stole these images off her Facebook profile! Hopefully she won't mind! hehe! But I just had to share! I just love their home...

Thanks for stopping by today, this is the second post of the day, so scroll down!

After photos of Justin and Genna's house

I am finally home! Yay! I am back to having internet access!
Above are the color chips Genna and Justin picked out for the paint in their new home.
Genna picked out this photo from Better Homes and Gardens as her inspiration for her living room.
This is a quick picture of Lacey and my son Adam, they came for a visit while I was visiting in Reno. It was so wonderful to spend time with them!
Here is the after paint in the living room. We went to several stores looking for affordable bamboo blinds for the windows, I finally bought some at Home Depot that hopefully will go up soon, I will post a pic when they are up.
The new brown wall in the dining room! As I was pouring the paint into the paint tray, it was like pouring melted chocolate. Yum!
It's hard to see the color on the living room walls, but I promise they are no longer boring white walls, they are a light brown/tan.
I painted the built- in the same color as the wall, then painted the shelves white.
In real life it really added a homeyness feel to the room.
The red kitchen wall after 2 coats of paint! I hate red walls! Ugh! it took 5 coats of paint to cover it.
But it turned out gorgeous! I painted the wall behind it in the laundry room the same color, Genna LOVES red.
Adds a nice pop of color in the kitchen I think!
It matches her new coffee maker! Hehe!
The night before I left Justin cooked dinner of carne asada tacos and homemade guacamole! Mmm, mmm delish! He even shared the recipe!
I love your new home Genna and Justin! Can't wait to see what you do next!
Genna, I love your new dark hair color too!

Thanks for stopping by! Hope you are having a great weekend!
