Well to say this week hasn’t gone as planned is

Well to say this week hasn’t gone as planned is an understatement! 🤦🏼‍♀️
I don’t have a #oneroomchallenge update for you because our family has had some curveballs this week, and when I’m emotional can’t seem to make decisions…apparently.
I’m rethinking my entire design now AND still haven’t decided on a wall color.
🤞🏻I can make some progress this weekend, but if not, I’m ok with it.
Here’s my ORC bedroom for a few years ago, instead. 😅

It’s week 2 of the #oneroomchallenge and I final

It’s week 2 of the #oneroomchallenge and I finally have a new vanity!!
(You can see the old one in the second picture. )
Also, does anyone have a suggestion for taking some of the pink out of my “new to me” vintage rug? It didn’t look that pink in the pictures online. 🤔

It’s One Room Challenge time again…and I’ve

It’s One Room Challenge time again…and I’ve decided to do my primary bathroom!
I’ve done several spaces over the years and it’s always so much fun to participate with others to knock out a project.
My goal is to do this VERY inexpensively, and I’d love for you to follow along with me!
This is our guest bedroom from a couple of years ago and the second photo is the mood board for the bathroom. 😁

Two lamp posts in a row…please don’t unfollow

Two lamp posts in a row…please don’t unfollow me! 😬
I rewired that little, alabaster lamp in the corner. Isn’t it cute?!?
I added this cabinet when I remodeled a few years ago and it has made our kitchen so much more functional. It also helps that we have an extra surface to add ambient lighting in the evening.💡 #lampoclock

I have bit of a problem when it comes to lighting.

I have bit of a problem when it comes to lighting. 😬
But let’s be honest…can you ever have too many lamps??
I got this glass and brass lamp last week and gave it a small makeover today. Swipe to the last slide to see the before. Also check my stories to see what I did…if you’re interested. 😁

Well, my painted concrete patio made it through 2

Well, my painted concrete patio made it through 2 summers and 1 winter…and still looks great, in my opinion! I love how it subtly changed the concrete and made it look more like slate.
If you flip though to the last photo you can see what it looked like before. 😳
I finally have a blog post up with the all the details! ⬇️ www.unexpectedelegance.com/create-a-slate-patio-with-paint/

We had some friends over this weekend and they loved our living room ottomans…so I thought I would share them!🌿
It’s four smaller ones put together, and I don’t only like the look but also the versatility of them. The best part…they are inexpensive, come in different fabrics, and at Target?!? 🙌🏻

My hall is done (for now)!! If you saw my stories

My hall is done (for now)!! If you saw my stories a few days ago, then you know I added small moulding to “bulk” up what I already had.💪🏻
I’ve had the supplies since the beginning of the year and kept putting off this project. Do you do that…put off something you want to change?!?
I’m so glad I finally took the time to do it. It makes me happy every time I walk up the stairs.💕

Afternoon light shining in… It’s been a while

Afternoon light shining in…
It’s been a while since I’ve posted anything about my house. I made a change to our entryway a few weeks ago and I’m so happy with the new wall treatment! It’s not quite finished but close enough. 😅
This summer was busy with travel and family time, but the girls start back to school tomorrow…which means a new kind of busy.
I’ve also been dealing with shingles. 🤦🏼‍♀️ I have it for the second time in two months. 🤞🏻 I get my health figured out soon and can focus on some fun house things!
Happy Tuesday, friends! 😘
