Island Lighting | The Shady Acre

Nine Months of Life. My Big Boy →. April 16, 2015. Our Ikea lights above our island are almost dead. We bought them in 2006, and I figured they wouldn’t last forever. I thought I would probably get tired of them within a few years. They weren’t exactly what I was looking for, but they added a little modern touch to our kitchen, and at $40 each, the price was right. And those little halogen bulbs aren’t cheap. The rest of these, I found on Etsy. I love the industrial look of this one! I love the look of t...

Monthly Archives: January 2015. January 31, 2015. Since the blackout curtains are usually drawn, I don’t often take pictures in the boys’ room.

Playroom Progress : The Shelf. Nine Months of Life →. The Pool in February. February 10, 2015. Yesterday was unseasonably warm–even for Texas. When it’s 82 degrees and sunny, sometimes a four-year-old just can’t be convinced that it’s still too cold to play in the pool. So, I decided to quit trying to convince him and just let him figure it out for himself. Meanwhile, his tractor needed a bath. Since he parked it in a perfect place to snap a few pictures, I brought out my camera. A Sign of Summer. Your e...
