The Princess and the F.R.O.G.

A few months ago, my niece Allie emailed me that she wanted a “cooler” place for her and her friends to hang out. You see the F.R.O.G (Front Room Over the Garage) in their house was her designated area and it just didn’t meet her style. Since she was a high school senior and my sister and brother in-law would be moving upon her graduation, we had a very tight budget to work within. Here are some befores..

Allie and I worked around some of her favorite things… Her favorite color was turquoise and she wanted it to have a cool vibe. Since we were on a limited budget, all of them items were wither DIY or on the cheap. They live in Chapel Hill, NC, so everything was done virtually. Here was the plan we worked up.

I received pictures from them after just a few changes and wow, what a difference a coat of paint and some elbow grease makes.

Keep up the good work, ladies!

Reality Check.

Last week we made a jaunt down to Savannah. The weather was about 20 degrees less than we expected (thank you Gap and Target for the girls new wardrobes.)

These two were obsessed with their new hats.

While Mommy was obsessed with other things.

I took two of these pillows home with me.

They are simply breathtaking in person. The fabric is Aurora Ikat.

Joss & Main is currently having a sale with this chair in the Aurora fabric. I hope I didn’t jump the shark on this one-because I paid a pretty penny for those pillows and I will be P-I-S-S-E-D if I see them in HomeGoods next week!

Meanwhile, since we got home on Saturday this one has been puking. Yesterday we spent pretty much the entire day (and night) in the ER. A few dozen bags of fluids and some TLC and she is almost out of the woods. Fingers crossed.

Grandin Road: Benched.

As many of you know, we are undertaking some serious landscaping projects. I have been on the hunt for the perfect bench for my front yard for months. Suddenly, I found it.
