Pretty Making: Fit for a Boy

You may have see this on mom's Facebook:

"Stayed up till 3:30am helping bee repaint the bedroom in her and Tom's future home. I wonder what I did with all my time before they got engaged?!?! It is so fun making memories with them! Love you both :)"

Now, if you've been reading the blog from the begining, you probably remember another post about painting the bedroom. If not, you can catch up here.

Yes, I've painted the bedroom once already and really thought I liked the color, then we found the perfect comforter set while regeristering and HAD to repaint, as we had found nothing to match the first color. Plus the first color was super girly and I felt like it would cause Tom to dream of unicorns.

After hours and hours we finally ended up with this:

I'd like the give my mom a GARGANTUINE thank you for helping so much! I passed out at 2:30 and she kept going! What a woman!! Not too bad for an oldie.

At the end of my last post I told you that my parents and I were refinishing some patio furniture for the house. Well it's finished! We moved it in Saturday. I just love it and I could not wait to share it with you!

AFTER!



we added the daisies tonight



Someone gave this set to my 'rents way before I was ever thought of. We're guessing its around 30 years old, but I'd swear it didn't look a day over 29! Give it some cosmetic surgery and elbow grease and it looks brand new! It's absolutly adorable and adds so much to the little porch area. Thanks mom and dad :)
