Linen Curtains and Woven Shades for the Master Bedroom

Hello and Happy Monday!

Did you all have a nice weekend?

We had such a beautiful, sunny weekend here (the second in a row – feels like a record!) – the trees are all in bloom, tulips are popping up in the backyard, and it’s just been so nice to have a break from all the rain and cloudy skies we’ve had for what seemed like months.

I shared last week that I made a little progress in giving the master bedroom a facelift. Aside from a new paint color (check!), and a new bed (still in the works), one of the other MUST do’s to get our master bedroom looking the way I have been wanting was to replace the drapes.

I hated those drapes.

Pretty much from day one I hated those drapes.

So why did I ever buy them?

An Update and a New Paint Color

Hi there!

So I took a little unintended break from things around here.  I’m so sorry if you have left me a comment or sent a message and I haven’t yet responded – I didn’t mean to neglect you all on purpose.  I started a project, and then things got busy, and then Jordan had his second surgery, and I basically didn’t even open my computer for nearly three weeks.

So what’s new?  How have you been?  Did you have a nice Easter?  I feel like we have so much to catch up on!

Office Makeover – The Reveal

Did you forget about the little office makeover we had going on over here?

I wouldn’t blame you if you did.

It was almost a whole year ago that I started talking about giving my home office a makeover.

I made a plan.

Then changed it.

Made another plan.

And then changed that too.

But once I got rolling with it, it all just kind of came together on its own and I’m so excited to share the finished project with you today.  It feels good to actually finish something.  We should probably try doing more of that around here. 😉

Office Makeover – The Other Vintage Cabinet and an Update

I have been slowly chipping away at putting my little office back together over the past month or so.

I didn’t exactly take an organized approach to emptying the room out before this makeover started – instead I took the completely unorganized approach of just haphazardly throwing everything into boxes and totes and piling them up in the basement.

So now as things come back in, I’m going through them one by one, and taking the time to determine what needs to stay and what can go.

And I have come to the conclusion that in addition to being a pillow hoarder, an antiques hoarder, and a book hoarder, I am also a paper hoarder.

Cable bills from 2007?  Heat and electric bills from four addresses prior?
