Coral and Rose

Last weekend Jordan and I decided to stop by Sams.  First, Sams is a dangerous store and secondly, one does not just "stop by".  I guess we spent maybe two hours in the store just browsing.

We (I) decided it was time to freshen our guest bedding since we are approaching the cooler temperatures and that room needed a little attention.  I found this beautiful coral coverlet at Sams for only $25!  It's very soft, easy to wash, and is a more thin blanket (bracing myself for a sweltering Texas Summer).
Top Left and Right: This is the store display and blanket close up.  It's sort of a wishbone pattern.
Bottom Left and Right: is the before/after of our guest bed.  I actually love our old comforter that is sort of a light teal color.  It has beautiful embroidery but I guess it's time.  I just don't know what I'm going to do with that old comforter...

This is the room put back together:
I typically like coral and teal together but I don't know about this pairing.  For now, I left the pillows as-is on the bed.  

Below are just a few random pictures from the weekend:
Top Left: The grass sod that Jordan put in our yard is slowly turning green!  I bet it gets really green in just a few more weeks!
Bottom Left: Jordan found this beautiful rose gold insulated tumbler mug at Home Depot!  Rose gold is everywhere these days and sure has made a come back in fashion!
Right Top and Bottom: We try to give Abby rides often and she has reached a point where she knows that a button rolls the window down.  She watches your every move anticipating the button to be pushed so that she can hang her head out the window.  At the time it was a little drizzly so she got lots of sniffs and a little damp hair.

Happy Friday!  Hope everyone has had a great week!

Cheese it Up

Sometimes I feel like Jordan and I live for the weekends.  We are very blessed to have each other, jobs that we both enjoy, an adorable pup, and a pretty house, so we definitely  enjoy the week days.  It's just that the weekends are when the action happens!  I don't know if we rest more during the week or the weekends! Last weekend was no exception.  We managed to strike the right balance of being productive while still having some leisure time.  Those are my favorite kind of weekends because that's a really tough balance to get! We recently planted some new flowers around our house which was a big chore.  I always get the spring bug this time of year (not the sickness).  I can't help it!  I don't have any sort of green thumb so I suppose this spring tradition will continue for years to come.  In the short time that we've had these pretty flowers, we've spent a lot more time outside.  The nice weather helps too!   Here's the run down of our new pl

July 4th with Family

Happy July 4th...or 14th.  It's taken me a while to get around to sharing pictures from our Independence Day celebration but I've got 30+ pictures of family food and fun to share! There is no other holiday quite like the 4th of July in America!  Everyone takes off work to enjoy delicious food (and cold drinks), BBQ, and the faint smell of explosives in the air --- those bombs bursting in air! This year was even sweeter than previous years because my brother, Andy, and his family flew to Texas for a long visit!  I was so thrilled to see them all! Top Left: I do love a little flare!  I got a pedicure before the holiday and decided to go with a patriotic theme.  The design looks almost like a Wonder Woman theme which is equally awesome. Top Right: My brother, Scott, with his pup Lucy.  She is laser focused on the lake smells in this picture. Bottom Left: Me, my niece, Kenley, and Lucy!  Lucy sure has grown so much from when she was a puppy (see her Chri

Doodles and Drawings

Image
I've continued to have fun with my Tombow calligraphy markers that I talked about on my Tombow Watercolor post.  Pinterest is rich with unique and interesting art!  I've found that it's extremely relaxing to sit down and doodle with my markers while sipping quality wine and listening to some music.  It makes for a messy kitchen table but I feel very chill and in my own element! The only new piece of art I have to share is this "hustle" poster I made for a friend.  I began by playing with the texture of watercolor paper (verses usually using "media" paper).  The water and markers react completely different depending on the surface and paper.  I ended up with this woodland-ish doodle. Leaves are probably not the most interesting focus, but I had fun playing with the different shades of greens and browns along with the various textures of leaves.  I have so many shades of markers so it was a great opportunity to use them all!  For fun, I even
