Master Update

Hello there lovies and Happy Friday! Don't you love a short work week? I'm so happy that the weekend is here again and the weather has finally (fingers crossed) made a turn for the warmer. I finally have some pictures from our Master Bedroom. Yes, I have been promising these for a while.  Yes, I have not lived up to my promises.  Don't hate me :( You know I always like to show a little bit of before, during and after. So, here's what the room looked like before we moved in: After we painted, ripped up the carpet and re-did the floors: A little furniture placement: ... and how we are looking now... and there we have it folks.. We still have a little bit of work to do. I want to put a mirror or some artwork over the dresser.  Of course I'd like to find a different rug to go with our grey themed bedroom, but for no

Here are a few pictures from our Texas vacation that seems like it was AGES ago. You can always count on lots of work to ruin some good R & R. Boo! We usually head down there once a year as my father-in-law has some digs right on the beach. He's nice enough to let us invite a bunch of our friends down and we usually stay for a week.

Hi Hi!!!!! I'm sure you probably thought I went on a permanent vacation. I know. I know. I missed you too. Things were cray cray at the office for a while there. I basically got back from vacation (I went on vacation?? I was relaxed and had fun??) and then worked 26 days without a day off. I am not 22 any more and as much as it sucked then to pull that kind of work schedule it is soooooooo much worse now. Not being able to spend my whole weekend with the kiddos and working late nights gets tougher and tougher. That being said, this post will be a short one. I'm still recuperating. lol. Let's just say I will have some vacation pictures, master bedroom updates and pool progress to report on next week.  It will be worth the long ass wait.  I promise. In the mean time, let's just keep our collective fingers crossed that our pool will look as inviting as these. Jeff McNamara garden pool house Phoebe Howard stone pool house or how abou
