One last hurrah


We are headed to Orlando in tomorrow's early hours and return home one day before school starts. Most of our trip will involve Mickey and the gang, but we are going to spend at least one day at the beach where my boys and I love to gather shells. It's my favorite vacation souvener. My childhood involved many trips to Florida and lots of time spent on the beach. We had a three foot tall glass jar in our living room where we put all our beach finds and I remember rooting around in it to find my favorites all the time.

Blue Bedrooms

I just finished painting my bedroom a pale blue. Here are some of the photos that inspired me. It is very soothing, but the room still needs a little tweaking. Besides the paint I've changed most of the art hung on the walls to give it a more contemporary vibe. I'm contemplating painting some of the furniture in the room white. I have a 4 piece bedroom set in a medium pine finish that overwhelm the space. I'll post the final project once it's finished... or semi finished if I'm to be honest.
