Keen readers of this blog may remember this photo and say, "Hey! You already posted this picture!" Yes, I did...quite a while ago. But not as part of the Mural Mondays! It may have started the idea of doing these weekly shares, though.
I probably also bragged last time I showed this bldg that it is ONE of TWO big and fabulous health food stores here in little ol' Eureka. I really do love them both.
I'm still working on the bedroom remodel. I thought the painting was going to be the hard part! Ummm, nope. Not hard at all compared to the doo-dad jobs I've been creating for myself the past four days! Like, how many times and ways can you use vintage wallpaper in one room?
The door I like. I like the dresser, too
but right now I'm hating it against the green wall and near the curtains I made yesterday. Argh! I'm going to 'sleep on it', and if I wake up still hating it I'll probably send it to Larissa's store for resell and start over on something else. Or maybe stick a different paper over it? Double argh!!
OH, here's something sweet.
Our pool stayed open two weekends beyond Labor Day...I guess because LD was such a nice weekend nobody wanted it to end. So yesterday was the final final day for the pool... I took a break from decorating to go out there with the kids and we were the only ones there. And it was cold! God bless this boy tho...he'll jump in every time no matter what!
Back to work! xo
Oh my gosh, this is looking good! I love, love the dresser!!

Oh I am pea green about the door and the dresser. Love the mural. And the pool picture is the greatest. Our little neighborhood pool always stayed up till October. I loved those nice evenings taking my girl to the pool.

I have an armoire that I am dying to do that wallpaper thing to. Just haven't found the right paper (or enough of it) yet. Love the one you chose though.
Can you believe our pools closed the first week of August? Pffft.

I love the door and the dresser. What a great thing to do. And that is a handsome young man in the photo. Love the tattoos too.
