Going on vacation!

Hi all, I hope everyone is having a good weekend. I was hoping to share what I worked on last week but we've had rain all week. Today is the only day it didn't rain....but I didn't snap a picture because I was busy doing last minute cleaning and packing.
We are going to Houston to visit family for a couple weeks and most importantly I get to see my baby boy and bring him back home! I have missed him sooooo much.
He spent the school year with his dad since his dad is deployed all the time he was finally able to spend a good amount of time with him.
 
 
 
See y'all in a couple weeks!!

Bedside vignette (bedroom update)

I know you're probably tired of seeing this room but what I was planning to post didn't work out because it's been raining outside.
A couple weeks ago I was playing in my room and thought I'd change up the vignette on my nightstand.
 
Below is the before:
 
 
After:
 

 
I propped the toile tray against the wall instead of placing books on it. I thought it is much prettier to look at.
 
Replaced the Mackenzie Child's pitcher for a more natural vase.

 
I bought a cheap votive candle holder from walmart and with my trusty glue gun wrapped jute webbing around it. I made a few more also.



 
We had another dresser on this side of the room but I decided to try this vintage French hamper like basket as a nightstand.  I'm still searching for an alabaster lamp.


I'm contemplating stenciling some numbers on it....
 
 


I bought a seagrass rug for the end of the bed but not too sure if I like it yet. Maybe once I replace the chairs at the end of the bed.
I hope all of you had a great weekend, ours was full of fun!!! I will share before the end of the week, plus a quick cute project I did yesterday morning...it took longer for me to take everything out then to actually do it! LOL
We are leaving for Houston in 5 days and I can't wait to see my son and bring him back home!!!
