Make Music Day 2016

Last week on June 21 was the worldwide event Make Music Day.  Didn't know that?  Neither did I.

A Pretty Blue & White Lamp

It always thrills my soul to see any and all things blue and white!  Imagine my delight while visiting an antique shop and there she was...just waiting to come home with me.

Front View of Home Sweet Home

On Saturday I was walking home from the neighbor's house and noticed how pretty the side view of our house was.  This isn't a path I take often, maybe it has looked this good for a while now...I doubt it though.

The Debut of our Master Bedroom

Our rarely seen master bedroom is finally making its full debut on the blog today!  I've struggled with this room since the day we moved in, it just isn't a room that WOWS you... know what I mean?  The 2 homes prior to this had amazing master suites but, ya'll this is just a master bedroom!  Maybe it is the size, it is for sure the smallest master we've had since our very first home.  At any rate, I gotta work with what I got!
Let's first talk about the wall that the dresser sits on, since it has been my biggest challenge.  I'm certain that all the experts and maybe even some of you will say you should never had a tv in the bedroom.  Personally, laying in bed watching TV is one of my fav things to do so, the TV had to be worked around.  I posed that exact statement to a designer and immediately she said "keep the TV."  But she followed that up with a  "you just need to camouflage it."

A New Home for the Dogs

A couple weeks ago I shared a post about my new painting for over the fireplace, you can catch up on that here.  When I changed out one painting for the new one it left the dogs homeless.  Here they are in all their glory over the mantle.
