Pillow Fights

There are very few things that my hubby Bobby and I disagree on but one issue that stands out to me in particular is our difference in opinion on how many pillows are "necessary" on a bed. Many mornings I hear a low grumbling that usually goes "I've never in my life seen so many pillows, HOW could you need this many, etc." haha!!

You know what I am talking about, the euros, the standards in shams, a couple of square decos, then maybe a round or neckroll AND the functional pillows that you actually sleep on....I admit this is a large number of pillows and it is high maintenance when making up the bed but I love the special touch pillows give. On our bed we currently have silk taffeta, burlap, flocking, zebra, floral and embroidery, jeweled brooches and chain link pillow belts....sounds crazy I know but it comes together very pretty. One day I may change my style and go for the ease of the simple, clean look (which is beautiful) but right now, as my son-in-law Justin says "I just don't see that happening"!! So, the pillow fights will continue.... :)

"Just a Little Somethin"

So many times when I am helping someone accessorize a bookshelf, end table or nightstand they will say "I just feel like it needs a little something". My advice/solution to the problem is usually a small floral arrangement similiar to the ones shown below.

Not only does a floral add color and texture, it also adds softness and can be designed to fill the space perfectly height and width wise. I usually design the florals on the simple side but I try to find fun/funky containers that add interest to the piece without breaking the bank! Group one of these with a small candle and maybe a picture frame for a great look.

The San Antonio Stroll

What a great weekend we had!! Bobby and I met Hailey in San Antonio on Friday so that the three of us could attend the wedding of Trent Konkle and Ashley Broll. It was a picture perfect weekend to be on the riverwalk! We had some great Mexican food, bar-bq and shopped a little bit too :) The wedding was on Saturday night at a beautiful Baptist church and the reception was at a great venue, The Republic, on a golf course. We had a wonderful time dancing and visiting with friends. Trent and Ashley are a beautiful couple and we wish them all the best ~ thanks for a great weekend!! Of course I cried when I had to say goodbye to Hailey but it was a wonderful time.

While we were gone some transformations were taking place in my kitchen so I could hardly wait to get back and see the change. For the past few weeks Bobby and I have been painting and glazing, painting and glazing, etc., etc. We had originally thought we would remodel the kitchen but after thinking that through and getting pricing on my over the top ideas, we decided on a more DIY plan and I am loving it. Last weekend we hired our great friend Emil to help with the texturing, painting and glazing of the kitchen. I am LOVING the results and I will post before and after pics soon.

I'm ready for a new week!!! Getting ready for a MASSIVE garage sale.....
