Our beach retreat....

We can all dream right? Well I've decided to turn our master bedroom at Miss BB into a beach-ish retreat.  Somewhere that we can relax, our dogs can hang out, and most of all somewhere we feel most comfy.  I also wanted somewhere that didn't feel too feminine.  A fun mix of color that my hubby would love too.  Then I stumbled upon this.......

.....was basically my reaction in a nutshell.  You know when you see a picture on Pinterest or a blog or anywhere really and it just "clicks" with you.  And you just know it meshes with yo' style?  That's what happened here.  Brett loves it MINUS the bug pillur. Which, the more I look at it does actually look like a roach. I despise roaches. I WOULD RATHER FLY THAN BE CONFRONTED WITH A ROACH.  Ok, maybe not. But I loathe them.


Sorry for the sidetrack.....Anywho.....I was on g-chat with Jordan (aka Queen Jord. aka you NEED to check out her blog. NEED TO) when I saw this picture on a blog (which she had coincidentally commented on by the way #soulmateeees).  And she quickly informed me that the duvet was from West Elm.  I was so happy/excited/ecstatic! Then I saw it was "no longer available" online and I was ----> :(.  Then Brett took me to West Elm in Houston for our coffee table and GUESS WHO I FOUND!!!!!!!!!!! It was fate, really. Yup, I found her-- greek key and all just for us to have.  And she was $49 down from $129.  Again, #extremecouponer.

I haven't fully figured out the room yet, but I will reveal my initial thoughts to my lovely readers.

We got this rug from IKEA:

I shall call her "Jute."

I really want this from J. Adler:

As the throw pillur...maybe in front of some navy-ish monogrammed shams.  Mmmmm.  And you can see the pillow even has some Kelly Green in it.  Which I am thinking for lamps or nightstands!!!!! Instead of the green headboard in the pic, I want a clean, white-washed, wooden one-- which is actually been a challenge to find. But I will conquer it. Just like the aggro-crag. DO YOU HAVE IT, GUTS.

That is all for today. I can't wait to show y'all more progress on Miss BB soon.  Also, I have started an etsy shop.  It only has one measly item, but check back for more!  http://www.etsy.com/listing/95129447/vintage-gold-elephant  (if you are interested contact me & i will quote you family/friend pricing!)

FEELINGS

Lately I haven't known what to blog about. I feel torn all sorts of ways. I asked Brett if he wanted another baby (NO OMG WHAT NEVER). I struggled with Bowen's test at Texas Children's. I struggle telling people that she won't go to the school her siblings go to. How do you explain that? We get the results of her test tomorrow and I'm terrified. I feel like life isn't normal? I don't know if that makes sense? But like we are in another life almost on a continuum. I feel like I need to make more mom friends. All. The. Time.  I feel like we need to travel more. I always feel the need for MORE. Why can't I be happy with what we have now? We are moving back to Meyerland this week. I am happy to have a backyard. Happy to have bedrooms for the kids. Happy to be HOME. But I also feel like sad we don't live where the kids friends live? Is that weird? Probably. The reason I called this blog feelings is because that's what it is. Sometimes I wr

SCONCES & SUCH

Let's take a quick look at the bathroom shall we? Subway tile = good, real gooooood. And we made a startling discovery when we ripped up the bathroom floor..... Awesome white vintage tile....seriously- why would you ever cover that up?! Unfortunately we couldn't salvage it since the previous owner had damaged a lot of them or we def would have! That's all the pics I have for you today since everything else is taped off in preparation for wallpaper install. SO let's begin with some random thoughts. I want  this sweater: I shall be adding this to the new shop : minty fresh In exactly two short months, we'll be here: Sconces were decided on for said bath thanks to Amber's blog : Hmmm, I think that's about it. Oh yeah and diets still suck. Have a lovely Monday. xoxo ryann
