MASTER BEDROOM UPDATE

Thursday, October 22nd, 2020

This past summer during quarentine, I spent a lot of time making different things for the house (before I had the surgery) and one of them was making roman shades for our master bedroom. I bought 2 drapes years ago from Serena & Lilly and I used that to make 4 roman shades. 
I also put together this faux orchid floral arrangement in a ceramic bowl I bought at an antique store and put it in my bathroom.
Other updates:
Ceiling lights: Kate spade new york bryce flower flush mount
Nightstands: Williams Sonoma Meade Nightstand
Botanical prints: 1880 botanical prints from Granny’s Attic

TRYING SOMETHING NEW…

Tuesday, October 20th, 2020

This buffet table is my first and last Craig’s list purchase when we first bought this house and I needed to have a buffet table in the dinning room. I always meant to refinish it but haven’t done it until now. I sanded it down and painted to match the colors in the dining room.  And here it is~

FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL!

Tuesday, September 8th, 2020

That’s why. LOL

Kids have a hybrid schedule where they’ll do virtual learning in the morning and go to school in the afternoon.

They came back from school so happy and full of stories to tell! We sat around kitchen island talking about their friends, new teachers and everything else while eating snacks. I missed this time with kids! I’m so thankful for our teachers, faculty members, administrators and everyone else for all their hard work for preparing and making this possible for the students!

I created an outdoor space for myself. I come down here with my coffee and do my morning devotions, looking at my ever-growing garden. 

And sometimes, we have breakfast here.
