Thursday

Hello Thursday! Where did you come from? This week brought with it a visit from a life long friend. The kind that knows all of my secrets and would never whisper a one of them. That friend. It's been a good week but there's more to come as I have another friend and her husband coming to town tomorrow. This little amateur B&B of ours is getting a workout.

I've been meaning to share our fireplace update with you. If you follow me on pinterest, you probably already know that I'm map crazy. The big map is of Paris which we will soon be visiting, the one to the right on bottom is of NC where my hubby is from and which we love and the one above it is of Sweden where my ancestors hail from and which happens to be, in my estimation, one of the most awesome places you could have ancestors hail from!

I'm loving that aqua arrow. Apparently I can't have a room without a pop of that color. I wanted to show you how it started life. We recently bought some new kitchen stools from Overstock and the picture below shows some of the packing materials from the box. When I saw this I knew immediately it was going to become part of our decor. I was a bit hesitant to tell my Sweetie of my crazy plan but when I did he laughed and told me he immediately knew I could use them for something when he saw them. Soul.mates. Just sayin.

We're making good progress in that room. I never thought I would like it until after we renovate and since that is a few years away, it's been a happy surprise how much I'm enjoying it. The other half of the room? That's another story!
