This living space looks so fresh and cozy. I love the styling of the book shelves, I love the blue and white fabrics, I love the topiaries, I love the coffee table, I love the layered rugs, I love the dog.

CONGRATULATIONS to Private First Class Sara!!!

My most precious-est little sister, Sara, graduated from 12 weeks of hardcore

Marine boot camp last week.

We went to Parris Island, South Carolina to celebrate with her!

We made signs, t-shirts, and pins! We are so proud of her!!!

Isn't she just the most beautifully wonderful little Marine you ever did see??? ; )

Out of the 400 graduates, she and ten others were honored as distinguished graduates. 

(she is on the far right in the above pic)

Super Proud Sister!

We might have just slipped on over to Hilton Head's Folly Beach one afternoon.

It was super sweeet...and we had loads of fun,

which I'm sure you can tell by our awesome poses. : )

Paper Fun

I made a headboard this Spring out of IKEA's Sorli mirrors. I really like how it turned out, but I didn't really think about what the mirrors would be reflecting. The oposite wall is blank with a built in decorative shelf that is at an akward height and spans the entire length of the wall.

So the sweet lil mirrors don't have much to reflect.

........my thoughts are to put up an AWESOME paper on the opposite wall. The fun pattern would be reflected in our headboard but wouldn't overwhelm our small space.

There are SO many Beautiful/Bold patterns in Wall coverings

right now and all I have left to do is pick one! : ) 

I think it will be a perfect opputunity to bring some color and pattern into our room. Currently it is very "serene" with pale blues, greys, and whites. I think it could handle a lil fun somthin somthin

We shall see ; )

Okay...I was just about to publish this post when I found this picture in my files...

haha....I made this when I was trying to decide how tall to make the Sorli headboard. So...this will give you an idea of how comlpetely bland our room is right now! lol

I am thinking the wallpaper, painting the lamps (coral? yellow? what do you think?), and some pillows would help. Share your thoughts with me. ; )
