Revisiting the Master Bedroom


Hey ya'll!
(its a Texas thing)
Hope you have had a wonderful week. Its crazy how fast time flies between blog postings. I would love to be able to post more often but life seems to get in the way of that. 
We had a shower for my sweet girl this past weekend and everything turned out so cute! I will share the pics with you soon. She is 7 weeks away and we are getting very excited over here on the "honey" (grandma) front. 

I had a chance to snap a few pictures of my master bedroom after changing a few things around. No cost but a different look..yep my kind of makeover.

























Shower #2 is this weekend. I will be back to share pictures from both with all of you soon. 

Thanks for taking the time to stop by and visit my little ole' blog. I appreciate all the comments you sweet people send me.
Have a blessed week!

Mantel Makeover..Going White


Am I the only one that is ready for the weekend?
This week seemed a little long for me so I am ready to relax and spend some time with the family.

I have had this project done for awhile and I am just now getting around to sharing it with you. When we moved into our new home over a year ago I knew it was just a matter of time before I pulled out the  paintbrush and gave this mantel a makeover. Don't get me wrong, its a beautiful mantel but with so much stained wood in the house it seemed a little heavy.




I know some of you "wood"  people out there are cringing right now..sorry!
Every home we have been in has always had a dark wood mantel. It was time for something different.







Oh yeah..so much better!
I must admit I was a little nervous painting something that was permanent instead of something I could just move out of the house if I got tired of it but the end result was well worth the risk I took. 

How about you, do you take risks with cabinets and mantels and "permanent pieces"?
I'm about to take a very big risk on a larger scale and paint my kitchen cabinets in a few weeks..deep breaths..Can't wait to share it with you!

Have a beautiful weekend!
