I have not posted on this thing in FOREVER!<br />
<br />
So much has changed since the last post. We are back in Kansas City and have added to our family with our amazing little boy!<br />
<br />
We have bought a house and I will be posting about all the renovations that will be going on in the next several months! I will be posting to <a href="http://kensingtonlane.blogspot.com/">Kensington Lane</a> so follow along if you would like and check out our progress!<br />
<br />
Why call it Kensington Lane? The neighborhood that our house is in is old. Our house was originally built in 1942. The homes are names after the original owners. Therefore, our home was built by The Kensington family and so it is know as "Then Kensington"! I love it! <br />
<br />
Don't forget to follow! <br />

They only publish every two months so the wait is long and I am always ready to see what inspiration the girls have put together. The most recent issue, I fell in love with this Beverly Hills APARTMENT of <a href="http://www.jmarxatelier.com/">Jessica Marx</a>. I love the colors and dramatic impact the rooms have!<br />

I really don't like beige. Although it can look really nice if done right, I feel like its pretty much the color everybody puts in their house because it's 'safe' and it's just too traditional and ordinary for me at this moment in my life!<br />
<br />
I LOVE all white walls and I'm pretty much obsessed with anything black and white and eventually get some color punches on the walls or with some accessories.<br />
<br />
I really like wallpaper but can't do that and it is definitely spendy, so I decided to get a <a href="http://www.cuttingedgestencils.com/">Cutting Edge Stencil</a>, the <a href="http://www.cuttingedgestencils.com/allover-stencils.html?category_id=12">Casablanca</a> pattern, to try to get the same affect as wall paper. I wanted the wall to be predominantly white with the black design but since it was a reverse stencil, I had to first paint the wall black and then paint the stencil with white. It took FOREVER! Let's just say you can't do one coat of white over black...try doing FOUR coats and then you'll get the pure white! Here are some pics of the process!<br />

Now I just need a rustic wood table, some navy velvet drapes and some hot pink touches and I will be done! <br />

We are in the grayest months of Seattle weather. It really hasn't bothered me at all...I would take this drizzle over the bitter cold and snow any day. We have been lucky enough to get a couple days here and there where the sun would shine and it is absolutely AMAZING! I'm loving me some Turquoise blue right now. I'm currently looking for some curtains that are just the right color of turquoise. Pair it with some sunshine yellow and you have a sunny day inside :)<br />

It was a great time! Although many articles are saying Ricky Gervais was too harsh on his hosting duties, I truly think the show was hilarious! There is a reason he hosted two years in a row!
<p>Well, with some of the people on the Daniel Fast, we decided to make a Vegan Pesto Pizza that was seriously the BEST pizza I have ever had! I got the recipe from Angela Liddon of <a href="http://ohsheglows.com/">Oh She Glows</a>. This is the first recipe I have made from her blog but I cannot wait to try more!</p>
<p>You can see the post of the Pizza recipe <a href="http://ohsheglows.com/2010/10/17/project-food-blog-challenge-5-a-pizza-complex/">here</a>.</p>
<a href="http://images.ohsheglows.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/20101016IMG_7018.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 500px; height: 350px;" src="http://images.ohsheglows.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/20101016IMG_7018.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>
<p>1) We had a pre-made pizza crust (100% whole wheat tastes the best)
2) Cover the crust with some EVOO and garlic and then smother with pesto.
3) Cut up some onion, tomato and basil leaves.
4) Put the cut up veggies in a baking pan with some EVOO and garlic and roast it in the oven.
5) Put the roasted veggies on top of the pesto.
6) Cook the pizza and ENJOY!</p>
<p>I didn't know healthy could taste this good!!</p>Christie O'Reillyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06821361569407179510noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6834543713797063911.post-81827769439858666172011-01-07T18:23:00.002-06:002011-01-07T18:35:48.419-06:00Crisp White, Bold Black and a little something else...<p>I adore <a href="http://mcgilldesign.ca/index3.html">Colleen McGill Designs</a>...</p>

She is currently featured in the most current issue <a href="http://www.adoremagazine.com/">Adore Magazine</a>, where she shares some more pics of her home and her new nursery.

Growing up, my family traveled to Arkansas for the family gathering (50+ immediate family...I did say Arkansas). Early mass in the morning and then back to Grandmas to begin the preparation for the feast. I have the best memories. To many of us to fit in the house, so some eat inside and the rest eat on fold out tables in the garage and the spread is served on the deep freeze. Cherish those times.
<p>I am excited for the invitation to eat Thanksgiving dinner here with some new friends we have made. And at night, let the games begin as we get to experience for the first time, the Burton Bake-off, which is known to be very competitive.</p>
<p>On another note, a big family meal allows the excuse to create an amazing tablescape for your guests. It's time to break out the good china, light some candles and set the mood!</p>
<p style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-size:130%;">Cheers! Have a wonderful and blessed Thanksgiving!</span></p>
