Mirror Mirror on the Wall

I totally blew it ... I found the perfect mirror for our living room on Joss and Main but waited too long and the sale ended.  It was a steal (from what I have seen online).  Only $170 (down from $3xx something).  I have found similar ones online, like this one from Target but it is $240!  Shoot.

So, maybe this can become a house project next week.  We will see.

Flower Bed Clippings

It has been so much fun watching all our plants bloom throughout the spring/summer.  I have been hesitant to weed for fear I will pluck a 'soon to be' flower out of the ground -slash- I have preferred sitting in the sun to weeding right now.  

I have a love for hydrangeas, they were a main flower in our wedding, so I am ecstatic these beauties are in our flower beds and just bloomed.  I even took my first clippings and put them in a vase on our table!  Go me.

Front Porch Tweaks

Our front porch is in dire shape.  It really is just blah and in need of a good update.   Exhibit A:

My love of all things nautical is definitely driving my planned tweaks and updates.  Here is what I am thinking:

BM Woodlawn Blue Door {via White+Gold}

Beaded Door Number {via Ballard Designs}

Harbor Sconce {via Restoration Hardware}

Mailbox {via Amazon}

Striped Door Mat {via Pottery Barn}

Bad Blogger

Lets be honest, I am by no means a self-displined regular blogger.  I tend to blog on a whim, whenever Hubs and I take on fun house projects.  Once they are complete (or as is with most of our projects, 90% complete) it is all radio silence.  I need to get better at this.  I like blogging, really, I do.  It gives me a chance to put all the creative craziness that flows around in my brain 'on paper'.  My readers (if there are any out there) want regular postings too.  I know I love to see all my fave bloggers post frequently else I get irritable.  So, today I try and start being a better blogger.  Whatch out!
