Jamie planted a bunch of paperwhite bulbs a few weeks ago and they looked absolutely beautiful!
The Ikea containers she put them in weren’t quite tall enough to cover the plastic containers she planted the bulbs in so she added a little ruffle to the top of them.
I hope you are all having a wonderful week! Can you believe Christmas is just 11 days away? I normally am done with my Christmas shopping by the beginning of December but life has been so crazy this year I have only bought 3 or 4 gifts so far – ahhhh!
The girls and I are back from a fun week in New Hampshire. We actually laid pretty low and didn’t do a whole lot, but we did do quite a bit of decorating. I didn’t take many “people” pictures this time (although I did take a few from our trip to the farmstand to get Dana a Christmas tree which I will post once I get them on the computer if any of them came out okay) but I took tons and tons of photos of Jamie and Josh’s house.
This past winter Jamie suggested that we have a Jane Austen themed book party this summer while the girls and I were up in New Hampshire. We also planned on having a tiny little party to celebrate Jamie’s 25th birthday. Well, it turned out that trying to do projects for two parties in the midst of everything else this summer was completely impossible so instead we decided to combine the two and have Jamie’s little birthday party with a Jane Austen/book theme. We have only had a couple of days this summer where Lillie and Lola cooperated and took naps at the same time, which has made it very difficult to get all of the projects we had planned done.
Here are some photos of Jamie and Josh’s great room. I think they did a fabulous job, and this is now my favorite room in their home! I think the wall color is perfect for the room. It is Sparrow by Benjamin Moore. The chairs are from Ballard Design. We made the silhouette pillows ourselves, and we will have a tutorial for those soon (and we also will be selling them in September).
We are currently working on two projects to finish off Jamie and Josh’s Great Room (both of which we will have tutorials for), but in the meantime I thought I would show you the mantel Jamie just finished in there (except for the moss balls on the right – she is planning on adding more of those as soon as she has some time to finish making them).
