Finishing Projects and Exciting News...

Happy Saturday!  I will start with the exciting news first...I'm gonna be an Auntie again to a little baby boy!!!  My sis in law just found out the sex of the baby and we are sooooo excited!  Now she will have two boys and we have two girls {perfection!}  Now we just have to wait for him to finish cookin' :)

I finally finished the alphabet banner for Beanie's preschool and I can't wait to take it in and hang it up {will share pics Monday}  So happy that lil project is done!  I have been busy sewing pillows and placemats.  I added a new pillow to our master plus changed the bedding a little {much better!}  I have come to the realization that I like solid colored bedding {no prints}...but will make what I have work!  Take a look...

 Our little reading nook...
 I used the old comforter along with the new Shabby Chic... {cannot seem to make those pillows look fluffy in pics} They are great in person!
 Close up... plus a new globe {got for a steal!!!}
 Yaaaaayyy it's done!
 I {heart} Amy Butler fabric!
I have a mild obsession with pom pom trim...can you tell!?!

I also figured out a way to use the old builders chandelier that we took down {replaced by a Pottery Barn beauty...thanks mom and dad} in the dining room and moved it into the entry.  I was able to take off the ugly glass covers and move the arms so they face up towards the ceiling {I hope this is making sense}  I will show you pics a soon as I get new light bulbs for it.  The light it puts off is stunning!  I love the change!  

Ok...I think that is all I have for right now...have a great weekend!  Spring break is almost over {thank goodness!} we are ready for school!  We are off to a birthday party...happy birthday cousin Kellie!!

Changes...

I made some changes to my blog layout...I loved the font I was using but it seemed to be a little hard to read so I think I found a font that still has some style but is more clear.  Tell me what you think...

The sun is shinning through the clouds this morning making me wish for Spring to be here.  Spring brings my favorite flower...the peony!

Have a great Wednesday!

I {heart} Nancy Meyers!!!

I have always been fascinated with Nancy Meyers movies and set designs!  I can remember going to the movie theater in my tweens {that wasn't even a word then...I'm getting old} and seeing Father of the Bride.  I fell in love!  She makes movies that are visually beautiful, classic, wholesome, and funny.  A few months ago I had to buy the DVD version of Baby Boom because I only had it on VHS {classic}...my little ones love watching this movie and so do I!  Now added to my favorites are Somethings Gotta Give, It's Complicated, and The Holiday...the set designs are out of this world.  Here are a few of my favorite pics from her movies...

Going Gray...

Hubby and I decided to paint our bedroom gray...so I have been looking through countless magazines and blogs to find the perfect gray {not and easy task}.  I have accumulated a very large list of grays to check out at the paint store.  Here are a few inspirational photos of what we have in mind...
