THE FINISHING TOUCHES

Sorry I was MIA last week.  

A took a little jaunt down to the Florida Keys to celebrate my birthday.

The weather didn't want to cooperate, but nonetheless, 

I was able to catch up on my reading and napping.  

That's what vacations are for, right?

With the help of my parents and my in-laws, my kids were well taken care of while we were gone. 

My saint of a mom even stayed an extra day after we returned and did some sewing for me. 

I have been patiently waiting for my mom to help me put the finishing touches on our family room.

This is what we she created....

I had some leftover fabric from the drapes she made last year.

We used a coordinating stripe for the trim.

She also made a couple of these...

I bought this remnant a while back and planned to use it for a valance for our powder room.

Imagine that, a project I planned and never got around to doing. 

The yellow pillow came from Homegoods and the blue one came from Pottery Barn.

I had to hurry and snap a picture before my children threw all the pillows on the ground.

This is couch is plenty big for three pillows and three kids.  Not sure why they don't get that!

I suppose "finishing touches" is a little too final of a phrase for my liking.  

You and both know, no room, especially in my house, is ever really finished. 

But for now, I am going to sit back, kick my feet up and enjoy the space.

I have been fussing over this room for a while now. 

I think it's time to turn to turn my attention elsewhere.

Look out stairway and second floor landing, I'm coming for you!
