Guest Room Facelift

I am very excited about this update! I have to thank a couple of family friends for inspiration & ideas... Couldn't have done it without Mrs. T & Anne.

Our guest room was in serious need of a facelift. We have lived in our home for 4 years and it was looking like we had barely move in.

Before (dark, drab, blah):

Very bare looking...

ice cubes are funny

Especially when Duke is enjoying them for an afternoon snack.

Happy Wednesday!

Trouble

I see these three causing a bit of trouble in the future.

These pictures were taken after a fantastic Mother's Day brunch at my Mom's farm!

End Table Make-Over

I found this fun end table on craigslist for $10. It needed a little love but I like the way it turned out. In an ideal world, I would have stripped it and re-stained. I have never done that and wasn't ready to spend the time to learn. I am planning on using navy and white accents in the living room once the new sofa arrives so this is a start.

Succulent Love

Succulents are very popular right now. My mom has been loving them for years. Thank goodness she knows more than me and planted these great pots for my front stoop. I will repost at the end of the summer to see if they look better or worse :)
