 I just picked up this Striped Throw at IKEA that I have been eyeing ever since it came out! So Excited. It really made my weekend along with my new lamp shades. Plus, I love that is feels like a sweater too! :)

And this rug. Yes I still want to own you some day. Sigh!

Happy Weekend!

Adding Architechtural Detail

It's all in the Details! Truly. I painted my Master Bedroom "Dunn Edwards Swiss Coffee" (The best white. In my opinion. I Love it!) By adding all the Architectural Trim, Now it just pops. Don't you think?

$30 DIY Antler Wreath (Super Easy)

I want to show you more of this room. But I can't! I know it pains me. I want to show it all, but it's not finished yet. My Antique Lamps need shades. ugh. AND I need some art work to list a few. It's a work in progress what can I say. But my moldings are up. WOOO HOOO!

BIG thanks to the Hubby! You Rock!

 DIY Antler Wreath
 But I did want to show off my DIY Wreath I made for $30. I picked through a box of broken antlers at this antique store and got them all for $20. Then $10 in Spray Paint (took 2 cans of white). But I must say if you do this too. Use a glue gun to glue the pieces together not just wire. I learned that the hard way. :)

Lounging Around Outside

What a Beautiful Day here in Utah! Last night we had Watermelon for the first time this year, and it was Delicious! I can't wait for school to get out and Summer to Begin! It really had me thinking about summer time and Lounging around outside while my kids play...

What I love about Summer:  (I could go on and on. Seriously. But here are but a few ;))

•  Hanging out in the backyard
• Longer days in the sun 
•  Bowls of Ice cream
• Laying out at the pool
• BBQ's- Steaks and Burgers on the Grill.
• Running through the Sprinkler
• Warmer nights to hang out in
• Acting like a kid again!

 Are you enjoying this warm weather as much as me??
