My Pinterest inspired master bedroom makeover part one.

The BEFORE pictures.

I've been itching to re-do my master bedroom for quite some time now. I am one of those people that likes to re decorate quite often...unfortunately for my bank account. Mikey's mom bought him a full queen sized bedroom suite when he graduated college, which was wonderful. It is very nice furniture and has served us well. But, I am SOOO sick of all the dark matchy-matchy look it brings. I will use this furniture again in a guest bedroom one day...but for now, it's time to retire it from my master. All of my bedding and rug I had previously...I've now had this zebra/brown/green theme for almost 4 years...so over it!

Fortunately for us...my brother and SIL got a new bed...so what do we get?? Their old KING size bed!! Woohoo. I do NOT like for people to touch me when I sleep, I need my space...I've been wanting a king for so long. Even though our room isn't the biggest the king is working out okay...we aren't going to be in this house that long so I'm just going to go for it for now.

I've already gotten a new armoire, built my amazing daddy and the king bed in...but everything else has stayed put. Those posts will have to wait...for now, I wanted to capture what everything looked like the first two years we lived in this house.

*I think Mikey took these pics. one day for insurance purposes....and it looks like i was in the middle of moving around clothes or something in closets...I am such a neat nut that this drives me crazy to look at but they are the only pictures I have of my master. Oh well!

The chest of drawers where the TV had to be housed....not my favorite option but it was the only logical place at that time. There is now a beautiful armoire here instead.

Big, giant dresser. With matching mirror...ick. I am getting an antique dresser from my parents house to put here, that is smaller...and going to paint it gray with a starburst mirror above. I just ordered this one from Ballard Designs. Love it.
I removed the chair...will eventually get a bench to put at foot of bed.

Other side of bed.

I cannot wait to get this all finished!! It is going to be a BIG undertaking though. I found my inspiration in a painting from a local store called Strobler...it is absolutely beautiful!!! They are getting more in so I can order it...it is filled with amazing turquoise, aqua, greens, etc. Can't wait to pick out a new paint color!!

To do:
Purchase new head board, upholstered
Paint antique dresser and console table gray to go on either side of bed. Move current console table to den.
Get mirror and painting
Find bedding...thinking all white matallaise cover, fun colorful pillows, curtains, and bedskirt
Find mirrored nightstands with gold trim

That should give me a start....

To my boys {almost two months late}

MY BOYS: A whole hand.   I can’t believe it.   The past five years have gone by at lightning speed!   You two silly, crazy, sweet, handsome boys celebrated FIVE like you do all other things- with genuine excitement and happiness in your hearts.   Y’all love life to the fullest and have the best imaginations- I could sit and listen to the two of you “play and talk” to each other ALL the live long day.   Y’all rarely fight, but when you do you make up within like 12 seconds, you boys are so different, but yet so the same.   You’ve both grown up in SO many ways and sometimes I have to blink to remind myself you are still my babies (because you are and always will be) but you both still have remnants of “babyhood” that I sure hope stays around a little longer.   It’s been a complete JOY to be your mama the past five years, as much as I want to keep you this AGE FOREVER, I know it’s not possible and am excited to watch you two grow and blossom in l...

What's in a name?

I tell ya, the name game is HARD. Really hard. I never thought that I'd be 27 years old and pregnant and not know what I wanted to name my child. I *think* we have come up with the one , but I'm not quite ready to put it out for the world to see...you know, don't want to many people rushing to get monogrammed bubbles. Ha! Jokes! Anyways...so I can look back and remember what all we went thru to come up with a name in 20 years I am going to lay it all out there. I'll start with saying I want a family name to be somewhere in my children's names. It doesn't have to be a first name, but some name in the child's name I want to be from a family member/family. We'll start with boys names, because they got taken off the table when we found out it was a GIRL..this will be short. Mikey's middle name is Thomas...his grandfather's name is Thomas. So...we always said Thomas would be in our son's name. I always thought it would be cool to do a Tho...

2019 family Village Creek trip

Our 2019 summer family vacation was everything I could have asked for, and more!  This year, my parents and nephew joined us for the week so we had extra fun!  (and extra chaos of course, too!)  We did ALL the things, but yet also did ALL the relaxing.  We arrived on G and T's actual, bday so we started our trip with a special birthday lunch in downtown Beaufort with just the boys since Collins rode down with my mom.  We also finally experienced the drive in movie that night for Toy Story 4 and it was AWESOME!  We only had one day of cloudy weather so that was awesome!  We ventured to Bohicket Marina, Harbor Town, Harbor Island, Edisto Island, Botany Bay, our favorite sandbar AND downtown Beaufort by boat, we had a ball!   My dad got some AMAZING fireworks and we had a little show for the culdesac, so much fun!!  Mikey and I even got to sneak out one n...
