P is for perfect!

So, as I mentioned previously- the husband is currently working on building two daybeds in our "finished" basement room.  This room was "man town" but the husband never spent time down there.  Use it or loose it.  So, now I want to turn that room into a guest room/playroom.  I have been looking for the perfect bedding for the daybeds that would be fun (playroom) yet not too kiddy for a guest room.  During my last days of my maternity leave I found it was perusing Home Goods with my mom.  As usual- it was  great deal.  I LOVE LOVE LOVE Home Goods.

Now, I should add that I had bought a different set of bedding with a zillion coordinating pillows that the husband hated and made me immediately return.  This was my 2nd attempt and luckily it passed!   I think the polka dots are fun but the colors make it gender neutral and soothing.  The opposite side has coordinating stripes which I have a fun plan for!   Now that I have bedding I can pick paint colors.  We are going to paint the walls and also the very worn wood floor!



So many colors .... what to pick!?




We have major progress to make on this room.  We will hopefully get it done soon because as soon as the weather warms... it is all about the backyard!  Our backyard needs serious investment!

Until next time...xoxo

D....Dreams!

Image
Okay... Dreams really do come true.  Since I have lived in my house I dreamed of a cute shed off on the side of our house (not in the center of our yard).  I wanted a shed that was cute and functional and has windows for light.   I could go on and on.  I never dreamed that my dream would come true... thanks to my husband and father-in-law.  Over the course of two weeks, I watched a miraculous shed appear. This fall we had a fence company move the side perimeter of our fence... hoping we could put a small shed over there in our new "side yard".  While they were at it... we had them put in a gate to the sidewalk... accessibility is key. The husband has had some free time on his hands and finally got down to focusing on the shed.  They seriously built this in TWO weeks! Check it out!  This is the space we were "saving" for the shed! Progress was made quick... we have walls! A nice wide door, two windows... oh la la! Satisfied with his work... he has ...
