First Refinishing Project


We have been looking for a great deal on an old dresser for our bedroom at the lake house. My mother-in-law found this great dresser that was originally a honey oak finish. I painted it a tomato red, distressed the edges and purchased some new knobs from Anthropologie. Now we have this great vintage piece for next to nothing!! I may have found my new hobby :)

1st Birthday!


I cannot believe that Reece is 1 year old. Where did the time go? Our lives have changed so much in the past year. From finding out that we were pregnant, to bringing our precious little boy into the world and seeing life through his eyes. We are so blessed and so in love with him. I never knew it was possible to love someone so much!!
Thanks my dear son for giving us more than we could ever have asked for. We love you and cannot wait to celebrate many more birthdays and milestones. Some of my favorite things about you are your beautiful blue eyes and your smile that can melt any heart! I love the way you get so excited to see us when we walk in the door and how you love to chase and laugh at your cats, Domino and Chuck. Although, they do not enjoy it :) You are such a happy little boy and you can always turn a bad day into a good day with a simple smile or hug.
Below are some pictures from Reece's birthday celebration! Thanks to everyone for coming to celebrate this very special day with us, especially all of our out-of-town family members. Reece is one lucky little boy and we will always remember how special you all made his first birthday!









We love you!
Ashley and Ryan
