Lovely Roses

I brought these beauties home from my in-law's rose garden last night!  Are they not just gorgeous?

Saturday Evening

Awww what a wonderful evening we had out on the patio enjoying beautiful Spring weather!  Wine for mommy, beer for daddy, bubbles for Charlotte and treats for the dog.  Yes, the perfect evening!

Happy Girl...

With her morning smoothie!  She's really not a big fan of smoothies, but has to have one almost every morning, like mommy!

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!  Charlotte starts swim lessons tomorrow and I plan to get some gardening in, too!  We are forecasted to have a warm and sunny Spring weekend and that makes me very happy!

New Paint, Pillows, Artwork and More

I am finally getting around to posting photos of our new paint color (which I love!)  It's Sherwin Williams Harmony Paint in Softer Tan.  Here is a photo of the old paint color.  It's definitely much lighter and brighter now.  The old color had a lot of yellow and even peach tones.  It was time for it to go!


The pillows are new.  The white one is from Pottery Barn and the green floral print are from Etsy.  I have wanted to introduce pink tones into this space for a while now.  I finally gave into myself and did it!  Yay!!  I am so glad I did because I absolutely love these pillows!  


This is really just the beginning with the pillows.  I need more!  Maybe another white one from PB and a few more in different prints.  I love to mix prints with solids and stripes.  This is going to fun!  I'm thinking I need about five or six total on this sofa.  Eventually I want to switch this slipcover out for a white one.


Hello Curious George!


This rug is new and I like it a lot.  It's fits this space much better than the oriental I had here before. 


The artwork is new from Pier One Imports.  The lamp is also new in this space (it's from our bedroom).


When Charlotte gets a bit older I want to have my tufted ottoman recovered in fabric.  The leather is just easier to clean at this age.  


My kitchen is definitely not my dream kitchen, but it is very functional.  My dream kitchen (someday) will have white cabinets, stainless appliances, granite counters and subway tile!  Oh, and maybe a big island in the middle!


My mantle is ready for Spring/Summer!  


And another kitchen shot.

Sorry these photos are a bit dark.  They were taken with my iPhone.
