A Few More Updates to Our Master Bedroom


We got this gold ringed chest for our master bedroom a couple of years ago from Soft Surroundings and it's been one of my absolute favorite pieces. I've played around with quite a few different options of pictures/mirrors to try above it but hadn't found the perfect finishing touch until I ran across this mirror! I love the size, shape and color of it! Now I've got to find a piece of art to hang where the other smaller gold mirror is in our bedroom because two gold mirrors right near each other is a tad much -ha! 

The cowhide rug has been under our dining room table for the last several months but I ended up moving it back up here a couple weeks ago and I think I am keeping it up here at least until I find a really large rug that has the right colors for this room. 




Three years later, our bombshell hydrangea bushes are finally blooming! I am so excited about it! It has been so much fun being able to fill vases with tons of branches and yet the bushes themselves still remain so full of blooms. I took these photos about ten minutes after I cut these branches in the heat of the day when they tend to wilt a little bit. Because of the lighting in this room I had to take the photos right then before all the natural light left in the room, however an hour or so later they had all bounced back and they've lasted almost ten days so far.







Our Angel artwork from Deann Art that sits above our mirrored chest is still one of the pieces in our home that we get asked most about. This particular painting is discontinued right now but she has some other incredible pieces available. We flipped our French Market Quilt over to the other side for summer to make the room feel a little lighter.

Hydrangeas in the Dining Room



After three years we finally have hydrangeas in our yard to cut! Our Endless Summer ones are doing great and continue to bloom so I've been able to start cutting them which I LOVE! And our Bombshell ones are blooming like crazy so I've been able to cut lots of those finally now too! (Those aren't shown here but I have some pictures of them I'll share later in the week).

As For Me and My House Personalized Wood Sign


We are excited to be introducing our first ever personalized sign featuring the verse from Joshua 24:15, "As for me and my house we will serve the Lord." For this sign we can personalize it with the last name and year of your choice! Not only would this be great in your own home, it also would make a wonderful anniversary or wedding gift. You can see more info here on our website.


Here are a few more pictures that our sister, Jamie took of this sign we did for our parents. They had the perfect spot for it as you enter into their kitchen. (You can see more photos of their kitchen here).



We hope you all have a lovely rest of your Thursday and a fabulous weekend ahead!

A Rug For Our Kitchen



We have had the floor bare in the kitchen for quite a while now but I kept thinking it would be nice to try and add something in here to add a little warmth to the space. We found this rug at Rugs Studio and even though it had a plum accent color in it instead of the navy I was hoping for I decided to give it a try  because I loved the vintage style pattern of it. The first day it arrived I was a little unsure, but by day two I absolutely loved it! I loved the way the pattern flows and the different colors - the grays, browns, plums and charcoals. Plus in a kitchen it will hide lots of stains - ha!














We also played around with a couple of other different ones including this plaid one. I loved how this one looked but was afraid it might show stains pretty easily and seeing how the girls love baking and cooking I decided against it.





And we also tried this smaller blue one. I absolutely LOVED the color of this one. The blues were so pretty and the pattern was beautiful. However, I didn't like the smaller size quite as well in here (they have it in a larger size as well, but at the time I was looking the larger size was on back order although I think it is available now).
