Are we up for some voting today, friends? You know I’m in the process of deciding what to do with our guest bedroom. Here are my four current favorite options:
Cheerful yellow, coral + aqua (from Cottage Living)
Calm blue, gray, + white (from Bear Hill Interiors)
Preppy red, blue + white (from Lonny)
Casual pink/red + white
Let me know what you think below! :)

No blossoms or fruit yet, but the plants are much larger than last month, no? We’ve been harvesting lots of lettuce, basil, cilantro, and mint in the meantime! Fingers crossed for peppers in July :)

This Saturday my friend Megan and I introduced our friend Nancy to the wonders of our local flea market. We had a great time, and came away with some great finds! My favorite was this guy:
A faux bamboo bedside table from Thomasville! At just $50, I consider this a HUGELY lucky find. (Especially since I just checked out the Thomasville site, and their least expensive end table/side table/bedside table is $350!) It’s in great shape construction-wise, and will be positively beautiful once it’s cleaned up and painted. I’m still contemplating a color scheme for our guest bedroom, so I’m not sure which shade to go with just yet, but rest assured, as soon as I figure it out, that baby will be colorful and glossy. In the meantime, I thought I’d share a few pieces of bamboo inspiration…
These last two are particularly for John. We were discussing what colors we might paint the table, and I suggested red… to which he said, “NO one has red furniture!” :)
I also took home an adorable salt and pepper shaker pair for $3. I was just telling Nancy about how I was inspired to start collecting fruit and vegetable salt and pepper shakers after reading about them in the June issue of Martha Stewart Living, too! They also had an onion pair, but I resisted.
Now tell me: what color would you paint my table?

Hi, friends! I thought I’d share the plans for our master bathroom, which I wrote about a little bit here. Here’s what we’re looking at:
A. Pretty print by Katie Daisy. Spotted it on Pinterest, bought it a few minutes later. I NEVER do that, but it just arrived and I love it!
B. “Blue Hydrangea” by Benjamin Moore. We painted last weekend!
C. Fluffy white towels.
D. Pretty DIY holders for makeup brushes from Kootut Murut.
E. Latte bowls for holding toiletries.
F. White waffle-weave shower curtain with a black ribbon border DIY.
G. DIY door banner from I Still Love You.
H. Black/gray + white graphic bath mats.
I. Ferns!
What do you think? I’ll be sure to share more photos as we complete projects!
