While you were out, with your designers, Carley & Maria

So, my friend, Carley,
drove from Michigan to Kansas, with her 2 kids, Claudia (4) and Jacob (2), and she stayed with me for the week, while Tim was out of town and her husband, Ed was out of town.
We had a blast with the kids...

















and tacked a much needed/desired project!


Our Master Bedroom
We picked 'spa' like colors, which was really the only direction I had for the room.

We arranged a few minor pieces of furniture...














Painted a few walls...

And Carley's greatest suggestion - We spray painted all my polished brass hardware - Matte Black! I love it ~

Wish I would have taken before pictures, but imagine nothing on the walls and no color. Carley helped me decide on the color (s) and group all the wall hangings! She's a great decorator.

Thanks for being persistent, Carley - I could not have done it without you.






Tim's response response was fabulous! He always loves it when I tackle projects while he is away.

Nice work Maria (and Carley)! I missed out on this painting project (boo-hoo). The last time I painted with you was Josiah's room before he arrived!
