Happy 2nd Anniversary to my sweet Hubby!

Although me and my sweet hubby have been together for 15 years, we tied the knot after we both finished our educations and were ready to plan and enjoy the process! Today marks 2 years since that wonderful and beautiful day! I could not have dreamed up a more perfect day! I wanted to share some of my favorite pics from the wedding with you...just shots people have shared with us. I love you sweetheart! This is going to be a wonderful year!











We DIY'd the entire wedding minus the flowers and food and LOVED the end result. Many family and friends helped with the set up and it was so fun. Not for the faint of heart, but well worth the memories!

Much love,

New Flooring!!

Hiya!!! I know I have been really MIA for almost 1 month BUT! It is for good reason and really, I haven't done anything to share with you!! But this weekend, we finally started the LONG arduous task of ripping up lino in our kitchen/dining area and the carpet in the living room. Ripping up lion is pure...hell. You know it is true if you have ever done it. So I thought I would just share a pic of what we got done before we went and bought our laminate.



We have a ground entry level that is on a cement slab, so this was the best choice for us. It is going to look so great! Goodbye gross carpet, hello clean and new floor! We picked a 12mm product in Rustic Cypress color. Which is a bit lighter than the gunstocks and espressos...Can't wait to share with you all! Sorry for being the bad blogger of the month, but well...we will talk about that in a later post!

Cheers! xoxo

A Pillow Shams and Muffins kinda day

For quite some time I have wanted to make euro Shams for our Master Bed. I love the look of layering pillows in assorted patterns and sizes.



I finally decided on a fabric for the Euros-a linen like grey fabric that goes beautifully with the duvet cover. I love the patten in the duvet fabric. There are matching pillow 'shams' that are more like cases with little with ties. I have to buy some new pillows to stuff into them yet. I have a white swirly round mirror we are putting above the bed soon too! I may have also bought some chevron fabric in grey and white...I MAY be making a pillow...and I MAY be recovering a chair or something ;) You can find the tutorial I did a while ago here for envelope back style covers!!

I was on a roll, so I thought I would make a cute little pillow case to custom for my IKEA feather pillow. I have some vintage fabrics from my dear friend Rosie and thought this was perfect for the Dolly Room. And the living room...it may float around ;)



Here it is up close. So sweet.



Lastly, continuing my domestic stride I decided to make some strawberry muffins for my sweet hubby. Here there are under a watchful eye...



Hope you had a great day and took some time to do things that make you smile :)

I am linking up with:

Common and join the party!!
