Design From The Past

With a little imagination you can make any dull space and beautiful piece of art. This is the after picture and before. As you can see it was just a patch of dead grass. I wanted something different for our little patio. Went to a concrete business and asked for the squares cut a certain size and one large one for a table. I stacked smaller blocks to make a table. We loved this space in Mexico at night with our coffee and fire outdoors.

Guest room in 5 minutes


This is the season for out of town guests. My favorite time of the year. This past week my mother from TN came to visit. It was a great time! I haven't spent my birthday with her since I was in high school, great girls shopping trip.
Right now we are renting a 2 bedroom home and there is no extra space for guests. So Austin's room is our temporary space. I wanted to show you how you can make a simple air mattress and bed no one wants to get out of.
In this picture is a queen size air mattress. I added a foam pad, freshly washed sheets, down white comforter and some pops of color.
I have the cutest Pottery Barn bed set but it is very floral and spring. So I ran to Target and found this cute red throw for $9, the cream feather pillow for $5 and used the throw from my spring bed set. All to make a fall color scheme room. What do you think? Bed in 5 minutes.
