a country girl's palace

Hello lovelies! I have been quite the lil busy bee. Fall is always a little crazy for me because it is FOOTBALL season. Trying to tailgate with the fam and never missing a single one of baby bro's game + keeping a social life at the University of Ky tailgates and routing on my CATS + working the occasional Saturday for some extra $$$ on the side + a granny with a broken arm + presenting at our KY's Occupational Therapy Conference next friday in Lousiville + planning a trip to Florida in one week + lastweekend's wedding = one busy and tired gal...shewwwww. Thank goodness I have a vacay coming up.

Soooo, you have probably saw me call my humble abode my lil palace. It is just the right size for me and bailey boy. Although I am dying to have a little cozy 3 bedroom house decked out in southern/country/pottery barn decor, this is gonna do for now. I think come spring I may be on the house hunt for a house to call my own. Until now, take a look at how cutesie this lil palace is turning out to be. I took some new photos after I broke out some fall decorations to spice it up a lil bit around here.

Take a look at the kitchen and dinning room area...i broke out my pumpkins :-)

my mom bought me this glass bowl that looks like a basket a couple of years ago for christmas. it is one of my favorite pieces in my whole palace.

I could not LIVE without my crock pot...well i could, but bailey and I would go around hungry.

And the bedroom. I LOVE my king size bed...it is heaven :-)

The place where I powder my nose ....

These mason jars are from my granny who is 87...she has had them for over 40 years. Makes my heart smile

 It's not much, but bailey boy and I like to call it home. Hope you all have a great weekend! It is a beautiful day here in the bluegrass. Cant wait to watch baby bro and company in action at their season opener. Woot WOOT!!



handy WOman

 That’s right…this gal has brushed up on her handy skills in the palace!

I put together a lil end table that matches my coffee table and media stand in the little living room all by

myself. It may have taken me several hours a little longer than expected, but I did it.

Bailey watches my every move...isnt it cute?

TAADAAA!

I also assembled this tall white cabinet for the bathroom to add extra storage space. I attempted this last weekend and wasted over 3 ½ hours on it. I went to put the top (which was also the final piece) on the shelf and low and behold…it was freaking broken! I was sooooooo pissed off! I wanted to sling it over the third floor balcony of my palace. Arrrrgh. This thing was a total biatch to put together. I returned the broken one and got a brand spankin new one. Of course there was still some assembly required. I havent tackled round 2 of the cabinet. It is still in the box just looking at me in my living room area. I get exhausted just thinking about assembling it all over again.

i think i would rather pay someone to do it again...hey isnt that what little brothers are for? charlie - hint hint! aaahemm

I hung these wreaths above my bed with my handy dandy drill. Got this counter sink and screw thing down pat J .

The palace is really starting to come together. I will have to post new pics soon. My mom is coming down this weekend to help me get things ready for Miss Megan’s bridal shower and bachelorette party on Saturday, and we plan on hanging curtains and finishing some things up in my new living quarters.

Cant wait to share with you all about my weekend on the next post. Had a freakin blast with my girlfriends! Every single day is getting easier...and I am so thankful for all the support and love I have around me.  Hope every is having a great week!
