Friday Favorites

 It's Friday and also the day before my husband's birthday! We are so excited for the weekend of birthday cake and brass spray painting. I know, I know, the two don't go together but as we celebrate another year I'm going to be turning a few pieces that I have lying around into a fun vibrant brass finish...




I saw this fun DIY in the Young House Love book and since I have a few or a bunch of Mason Jars this would be a fun and quick project to do.... 

Have a great weekend

Small updates to the outdoors

Summer is drawing near and we love to spend the time outdoors whether sitting and drinking coffee at the table while enjoying a magazine in the morning, or grilling some steaks, watching Blake run around, or sitting around the fire pit with a glass of red wine.
 
We mostly live outdoors in the Summer Months and especially when Florida gets cool weather.
 
I made just a few small updates to the backyard by adding curtain rods and white drapery.. I prefer the white drapery over printed drapery just because I love the cool clean crisp look of white and it contrasts beautiful with the greenery
 
 



I stopped by Home Depot and purchased a Fern for the corner area of the loggia. We are happy with the small changes and we have a few more updates to make...
Be sure to stay tuned

Project Mirror almost Done

I am gearing near the end of my Mirror Project that I posted about here. My poor burned fingers will thank me once its all over...
I should be done by the weekend. This is the mirror that I am replicating from Ballard Designs unfortunately it has been discontinued. Keep your fingers crossed for me that it comes out perfect. I think my husband may be tired of seeing shims everywhere in the garage
I was able to get the play by play from Thrify Décor Chic on this DIY project.





I am really looking forward to having the empty space filled.
