Gone a bit...

Heading to Louisiana to a friends daughter's wedding!  But wanted to give you a sneak peek at some of the flowers for the wedding. Who says guys can't have a something creative and fun to wear.  Love these boutonnieres.

Ooohlala Florals

More to come... The bride has envisioned an eclectic, vintage feel to everything. 

Here we come Louisiana, yes two weekends in a row.  We were there last weekend for another wedding. Snapped this state flower picture below.  Southern Magnolia. 

Corner retreat update

After some of your suggestions from my previous post...

Much better!

A touch of greenery makes the area fresh and summery, a plant under the table too.
Candlelight will be cozy. 

Changed one pillow, now two with ruffles.  Perfect spot now for iced tea.

Ten minute change of view

I had everything at the house already and my girl's were over for Mother's Day.  So I asked if they would help me fix up a neglected corner of the back yard patio.

Before

Chairs from office, rug from kitchen, table was in garage, wrought iron piece in between chairs was outside already.

Now what to put on the table?  Any suggestions?

What is it?

I know your ten year old children will not even know what this is.  But, we all have those ugly phone wall mounts.  If you are like me and went cell phones only about three years ago you have this problem.  What to do with those ugly wall mounts?

These Italian guys are helping me out.  Find a canvas painting or decoupage a family photo over a canvas maybe.  No nails needed, this one just slipped right over the ugly jack.

tada! I love these two!  We also love not having the home phone message light on for the messages that we never listened to.
