I have a secret.

 Monday I featured a giveaway for a Jesse Miller art print (go here to enter).

I have three of them framed in my main bath.

I had a few of you asking where I found the great frames.

I agree, the frames ARE great.

However, I have a secret.

My fantastic frames are actually medicine cabinets disguised as picture frames!

I know! Why didn't I think of that!?

They are from the brilliant minds at www.ConcealedCabinet.com and they were nice enough to send me a couple to review.

The verdict is in...I absolutely love them! 

We shrunk the main bath down in order to make more space in other areas of the house and as a result lost tons of storage space.

 These are perfect for hiding all our toiletries and no one has any idea because they are disguised as pictures (well, I suppose they know now).

My thinking was that each boy would have their own cabinet however, there was a pipe behind the wall in third space on the right.  So I was able to get a frame without a cabinet to keep the look consistent.

 I even thing they look great with no picture at all 

(that is if you can keep your bathroom clutter looking pretty and organized).
They are very sturdy as well...solid wood from North America.

I just love when style and function come together!

The cabinets come in several sizes, styles and colors.

Check them out here.

Room sneak peak and a giveaway.

 Here's a sneak peak pic of my bathroom wall.  

Frames and art pieces just went up and I couldn't be more thrilled with the results.

These paintings were done by Jesse Miller and have special meaning to me for two reasons.  

#1 I spent a few years of my college days at BYU-Hawaii on the North Shore of Oahu.

These scenes bring back a lot of very found memories.

#2 My cousin, Jesse Miller, painted these.

Not only is he a very talented artist but is one of those hot surfers and California lifeguards that could be right out of scene from Baywatch.  (Weird to call your cousin hot)?

In fact he taught me how to surf 

(so, I'm not taking barrels at Pipeline but I can stand up on a board and in my definition that makes me a surfer...wink).

"Jesse has been called the Norman Rockwell of the North Shore, and the Andrew Wyeth of the west coast." He does amazing scenes from of the ocean.

A walk down memory lane.

 One year ago, "Three Men and a Lady" became "4 Men 1 Lady".

Oh, I still remember that sunny, Tucson day.

Biking in the morning.

Contractions at noon.

9 lb, 10 oz baby at 6:30pm with nothing but a stick to gnaw on for the pain throughout the whole delivery.

Oh yes, the old fashioned way experience.

Minutes later, (slightly air brushed) hair soaked with sweat from the VERY intense delivery.

***Warning, next photo may make you slightly queasy.***

Oh, yea...glamorous, eh!

No one tells you about this lovely side effect.

But, oh so worth it.

 The soft skin, the sweet smell, the precious coo's of a baby.

There's nothing better in the world. 

A few months and few pounds later...this babe became an eating, pooping, and spitting up machine.

Those cheeks, love em.

How blessed we are...

to have him in our lives.

 Happy birthday my babe.

I could have never imagined the amount of love I feel.
