I'm taking next week off but before I go I wanted to share yet another inspiration post.  These images of foyers/entryways are just some of the pics in my Pinterest folder.  Check me out here!

Things that make me happy

I'm loving the peonies I clipped from our multiple bushes in the backyard.  Seeing them on the table makes me so happy!

Dining Room Inspiration

Good morning!

I'm here to share some inspiration for the most unfinished room in our home.....the dining room.  We have no table or chairs and it sits empty (although painted) with the exception of an old wine rack and dresser turned buffet.  I'm constantly on the hunt for a table that we can expand to fit 8 that I like.

Here are a few long tables and rooms that I like:

What feel does your dining room convey?  Are you a neutral girl at heart like m?

Kentucky Oaks

Hi all!

We had a great weekend and I hope you all did too!  Jacob and I went to the Oaks on Friday, which is quite a big deal here in Kentucky.  Here we are before we left:

I'll be back with more posts soon!

New Landscaping

Hello!

I'm back with pictures of our new landscaping.  Here are the before pics, which really don't look too bad.  I took these last June just before the arrival of baby M.  The daylilies were in full bloom and we had just planted the red verbena.  I was hoping the verbena would really spread out and make a nice statement but really there ended up being awkward clusters of red and weird empty spots.....not good.  Plus there in the back next to the column is one of the 2 peonies, which after they bloom for a few weeks in early May they flop over and are nothing special.

Like I said, really not too bad but in the winter everything dies and we are left with empty scraggly flower beds.

Here is the after:

We left a few daylillies and added some holly, a green Japanese maple, roses, and a few boxwoods.  They also took out the other level in the above flower bed and added to the stones below.  I can't wait for it to fill out a bit more.  There is also a spot in the below picture where they are coming back to plan more flowers now that it's finally staying warm.  We might remove the large hedge at some point.

One of my favorite things was having that ugly bush that covered our house number ripped out.

This is the flower bed to the left of the house, which we didn't do anything to.  I left my snapdragons in the ground last year and they came back!  I still need to plant a few more here and around the mailbox.

Much better!  We moved the peonies and gardenia to the backyard and they seem to be doing well.
