guest room

Here is a little picture of my guest bedroom. The quality of the picture isn't that great and my sheets are wrinkled! They look like they need to be ironed....but those of you who know me know I don't like to do such things!

Here is the run down on the room:

Lampshade is from IKEA
Lamp base is from Target....always fun to mix and match your lamps...
Pillow cases from pottery barn...which I already had.
Bedspread from Crate and barrel...used to be on our bed a few years ago. It is always fun to use a piece of furniture or accessories somewhere else in your home if you get "bored" of it in a space.
Fun vintage french banner from an etsy store called royal buffet.
Pink little pillow I made :)
I didn't spend much on this room....

I need to take some more pictures of this little guest room. There are some colorful pom poms and a cute grey chair tucked in the corner of the room.

happy week!

you are my sunshine

My daughter is my sunshine! Today she starts the first grade. Where does the time go? I am feeling so many different feelings today, but I feel confident in her teacher and know that she is going to have so much fun. Her teacher's classroom theme is "ice cream" and there was a little pink cone on the bullentin board with my daughter's name. She was pretty excited! Now I know the feelings my parents had way back when. Check out more of these cute prints above here.

Who is your sunshine?

girlie girl

I know, I know...I am having a baby boy....but this room is soooo soooo sweet and girlie. My sister is having a girl, so maybe that is why I was drawn to this room....or.......maybe I love this room because I have a little girl and I am a girlie girl! Anyhoo....I love the rocker, love it! I found this blog over the weekend and enjoyed reading it. The writer is so creative and does a lot by hand. Check out her matching aprons she did for her and her daughter here.

Have a gr-8 day!

happy monday!

Hope you all had a beautiful weekend. Mine was packed with church, friends, the pool and work....bummer about the work, but nice to have a little more savings for our trips to Africa....hopefully we will get word SOON!

I have been looking for artwork in the baby's room and I always seem to be drawn to Made by Girl. I love the alphabet poster...look closely and you will see a child's name! What a great idea. She has awesome cards too. There is even a section of her website called, "jennifer's closet" where she sells things she used to own like the deer pillow above. Pretty creative! 

Have a happy monday!!!!!

fresh & simple

I love this space. Fresh and simple. Just lovely!

I have been so busy that this little blog has gotten ignored! So sorry fellow peeps! 

We got great news last friday that our papers got submitted to the high courts of Ethiopia and the next thing we will hear is when we travel for the first time! Yeah!!! The courts are closed now until the end of September because of the rainy season, but thankfully we got a little movement before there will be NO movement again. Oh the waiting is killing me!!!

Check out this little blog where I found this sweet photo.

cheers.
