My Kind of Pool House!

Forget pool house - I could certainly live here full-time...

I hope you all have a nice relaxing weekend!!

A Little Surprise

One little thing I forgot to share about our trip.  My sister lives in the tiniest of railroad towns in Indiana.  There's not much there - even their grocery store has closed.  What IS there is the cutest coffee shop, and boy is their coffee good!  And how cute is that decor?  I love the tin roof, wall of windows, and chandelier!

In Place of Chairs

I just love it when benches are used in place of chairs or bar stools.

Of course banquettes are a lovely choice too.

A New Mirror

How was everyone's long weekend?  Ours was lovely.  We got together with several groups of friends, went to the zoo, and did lots of swimming.  

I also picked out something from Joss & Main for the giveaway I won from Two Ellie.  This mirror.

I'm so excited to get it.  I have several places I could put it, although I'm a little nervous that it's going to be too big.  My biggest decorating hurdle is deciding to go for something.  With this I went completely off-character and totally went for it - without even pausing.  I hope my instinct was right!

Here are some inspiration pictures of how I could use it.
