Fashion Friday: Carrie Underwood

I love Carrie Underwood. She has such a classic style and always looks gorgeous. She is the classic girl next door with glam touches. I thought I would share some of my favorite Carrie Underwood looks. (Wouldn't it be great to get dressed up and wear one of these beautiful dresses?! A girl can dream....)

Ceramic Egg Crate (Part 1)

If you haven't been reading Young House Love, you really should! It's one of my favorite daily reads. They are the masters of DIY and come up with great ideas. Sherry has this white ceramic egg crate that she uses for jewelry storage.

I have always thought it was cute but have never seen one around here to purchase....until now. I was at Joann Fabrics today and found a smaller version (on sale!) in their Easter stuff. It needs a little alteration (which is why the post title says part 1) but I will share it as soon as I get it done! In the meantime, go pick one up for yourself!

Bathroom Updates

Today I just have a few little bathroom updates I have done recently to share with you. First, in our bathroom I bought this pretty recycled glass vase from Marshalls and added these branches. I already had the candle wall art. I think the combo of the two give the bathroom a spa like feel that I really like.

I added these three cups to the shelf of the cupboard in the guest bathroom. I found these white flower cups at Goodwill. I filled one with q-tips and one with cotton balls for our guests to use. The middle cup is empty and I am not sure what to put in it. Do you have any ideas for me?

Flower Arrangements

Instead of having one big bouquet, I decided to break up the pretty V-day flowers I got into four smaller arrangements. This way we can enjoy having fresh flowers in different rooms of our apartment. Also, don't be afraid to use things other than regular vases to put your flowers in. (I even used an old toothbrush cup!) Try this the next time you have fresh flowers.

Weekend Recap: Valentine's Day

It was a great weekend at The Cody House. Here are some of the highlights of our holiday weekend.....

Friday night was spent on the couch studying (Lee) and watching the opening ceremonies of the Winter Olympics of course! (those whales were amazing!)

The highlight of Saturday was going to see Lady A and Tim McGraw in concert. It was a great show!

Lady A

Tim McGraw

Sunday was Valentine's Day. I got a beautiful bouquet of flowers and a yummy supper from my awesome hubby.

Crab legs, asparagus, baked potato and milkshakes...yum!

Hope you all had a great weekend and a fun Valentine's Day!

Fashion Friday: Red Coat

I wanted to share the new coat I recently purchased. It was on sale at Younkers for only $20. Aren't the bell sleeves and the red color with the black and white poke-a-dot insides great? Love this coat!

Valentine's Day Table

I mentioned on Monday that Lee always cooks a special meal at home each Valentine's day. This year I decided to do a V-day table setting for our meal. I just used things we had laying around.

Sorry for the bad pictures. I am not sure why they look so weird. What do you think of the table? Do you guys have any Valentine's day traditions or special plans?
