Dining Room Makeover

When I bought the house, the dining room was army green.  I wanted so badly to brighten the space that I painted it this color -

My friend Julie and I hated it.  Over Easter weekend, we decided to go big and we did this- 

Totally different huh? I loved it.  I also knew I didn't want the room to become nautical, especially since I already live at the beach.  It all seemed a little cliche.  I found awesome fabric at MaryJos in Gastonia and had custom drapes made.  

Mountain Adventure

We headed to Boone this weekend to celebrate my mom's birthday.  We rented a cabin off of Bamboo road.

Side View and Dirt rd. 

We got pizza Friday night, went to the shops on the parkway Saturday, because it was raining, and went walking around Blowing Rock today.  I have the greatest family and this little getaway was so refreshing.
