Fun Surprise

I got a fun little surprise! A cute nurse at work was at our local thrift store (Deseret Industries) and found a stencil for TWO BUCKS! She thought of me and snatched it up! Look what I have……

Now I need to decide where I’m going to use this bad boy! Laundry Room, Master Bathroom, accent wall in my living room…. hmmmm decisions decisions! Do you like it?!

Thanks Anitra :)

My Fall Preview

I LOVE FALL! I’ve been brainstorming and thinking about fall for months and I really can’t wait to start decorating. My fall decor really needs a little revamp this year and I think I might add in a new color…. a BLUISH TURQUOISE COLOR! Do you think I’m crazy for interfering with the traditional fall decor? I hope not ;) Here are a few of my ideas:

I’m definitely going to need a feather wreath! Joann’s has a rockin sale right now and they are only $23.99. I’m still trying to decide if I want to make my own or just give into the $23.99…. I’m leaning towards the “give in”. Gluing all of those feathers looks like it will take years!

I will add some lovely peacock feathers to my wreath to spruce it up a bit.

I still want to stick with some of the traditional looking fall items

I need to snag some wheat to add to my apothecary jars

I’m totally and completely OBSESSED with fall. As a matter of fact, as I was driving along today, Pier one’s new fall collection caught my eye and caused a MAJOR distraction. I even turned around to see if they were still open… NOPE, they were just setting up all of their fall items. Ah Dang… it’s probably for the better. I always spend way to much on fall decor!  What’s your favorite season?

Thriving Thursdays

I hope you are having a fantastic week so far! We are trying to soak up the last little bit of summer so we’ve been spending a lot of time outside! Here’s a cheery vision board to celebrate our last few weeks of warm sunny weather.

Striped Bathroom Reveal

I finished my boy’s bathroom and I’m in LOVE! I changed the paint color from the “builder tan” and did blue and off white stripes. I switched out the brown decor for some neutrals and a few accent colors. It’s made the bathroom SO much brighter!

I purchased the cute bird shower curtain from West Elm.

All of the awesome glass jars are my antique finds that I’m still in love with.

I found the old shower caddy at The Nook and Cranny antique shop in Lehi.

These cute DIY arts were the easiest thing ever! I used idea and they are perfect in the bathroom!

So what do you think? You can check out the before pictures here if you dont remember the lovely brown ;) We love it and my sweet boys like their blue bird bathroom!
