And we're home.

As sad as it is to come back from vacation, sometimes there is nothing sweeter than being in your own home.

Such a typical Sunday it has been. True to form with the bro-in-laws are in town we had a family brunch.

Husby worked in the yard trimming back our atrocious palm trees and worked hard trying to finish up tiling our master bath.

I worked on finalizing details for Miss Emmie (my baby sis)'s 13th birthday party, the dreaded [however unavoidable] unpacking that follows vacation and lastly preparing a Caribbean style dinner failure [as it seems].

As promised here are some of my fave photos from our trip:

And here is what today looked like:

me: working on Emily's party decor [Alice in Wonderland chic]

husby: Tiling away.

Not quite as appealing as the beach but, rewarding nonetheless.

Bedroom Re-design

    

     I have been dying to re-do our bedroom for so long! I was really 

 just waiting for a few things to come together (the bench from last week, a dresser to paint red and the finding the right red paint color)

If you were in Austin this weekend, then you know the weather was JUST right for an outdoor project. And, that is exactly where I spent my time from the time I woke up yesterday until just now...


My before shot is pretty dull which I guess really describes the room before...

And the final project!

Painted the bed and nightstand white and added new pinstripe sheets {target} to add a masculine touch...

Added some life to the room with a pair of orchids...

 

And, last but not least: My red dresser! It isn't styled just yet. I just set random stuff on top...

      Unfortunately, the sun had pretty much gone down by the time I was able to take photos so you can't see the true color of the dresser but, I was just so anxious to post the final project! I will add more when I style it a bit better!

I hope you are having an amazing Valentines day! <3
