Finally, my first blog!

Ya, I have finally gotten around to it, my first blog.... I have been saying for over a year now that it was my mission to make a blog about interior design, fashion, recipes and DIY projects.... Well here I am. I am feeling quite inspired on this very Portland rainy day. I do have one simple thing that people must remember when reading my blog, especially you mom, I know there will be typos, grammar mistakes and other things that are not proper, but that's ok because I am not a English major I am an art major.
As far as the baby update, we are still very excited and I, as always am praying for a boy (oops) a girl, we have settled on the name Brenlee Rowan Martinez. Super excited because if it is a girl I have the room all picked out, a sorbet theme. Raspberry, sherbet and lavender, mmm mmm mmm... Now Cesar would like a boy, and we are well equipped with a color palette as well as a name, Cesar Joel Martinez III and a monochromatic blue scheme, splashes of green and a modern whale theme, very crisp and clean. If I am able to upload pictures I will show you my thoughts.
This week is my moms birthday and I am so excited for her to come over to Portland for we have a DIY weekend ahead of us amongst other little surprises planned for her. First on the agenda repaint some furniture in a navy blue with a high gloss, I am trying to make our house more masculine for Cesar (but still a elegant feeling). I am also probably the most excited for the quote board that I have been wanting to make forever... I will post pics and the tutorial as well. I preparation for the weekend I went out and purchased a singer sewing machine because I want to try and make the baby blanket amongst other household items, many including ruffle embellishments. So I started small and started with curtains. Simple, very airy and summery and a great addition to the house, not to mention fool proof because I started out with no real plan or pattern in my head. Note to self: Have a mental plan next time. Hope all had a great weekend and there was sun out there somewhere...
