Hello friends. I hope your all enjoying this beautiful Summer.
Can you believe it's already July? Wow, the time really does fly by doesn't it?!!
Our summer beach and pool plans have been put on hold because my little one has been sick over the past few days, and now Moms caught it. Don't you hate being sick in the summer?! It is just too pretty outside to be stuck inside :)
Anyway, I completely changed the living and dining areas the other day. I wanted something fresh and different, and I think I got it.
I also got around to painting my mantle. I was inspired by Maria's mantle and was getting tired of the old paint chipping off, so I just went for it.
I really like how it turned out, but I think it probably needs a coat of semi-gloss on it. I just used an eggshell finish which is what I had on hand in the house.
The color is called "steam" by Benjamin Moore.
I changed out my petite crystal chandelier for my vintage pink and white tole chandie to add a little pop of color.
Dining room~
I also wanted to show you a little sneak peek of my bedroom. I finished painting it and now all I need is new bedding.
I used a color called "classic gray" by Benjamin Moore on the walls here in my bedroom. It is a gorgeous color!
Well, I hope you all have a wonderful week and a very Happy 4th of July!!!~
Sincerely,
Melinda

Your style is flawless and oh so beautiful. Not to mention your bottle collection is trully amazing and looks wonderful gathered on the matel and side tables. I'm not sure what it is about clear glass bottles but it just screams summertime to me. Hope you and your little one are feeling better soon.
