Can I get a “woohoo!” for productivity?

I finally finished the curtains for our bedroom!  YEAH!!!!  I did them in a really pretty blue shimmery silk.  (I know they look green in the photos, but they’re not.)

I think they look great against the creamy chocolate brown of our walls.

Oh, and above the bed I framed the pretty crocheted name thingy that was a wedding present from a family friend.   I think it looks really good on the dark mat and framed with our standard black frame.

I did the curtains in a couple of hours yesterday.  They turned out the same length and everything!  I feel pretty good about them and I know my mom’s proud.  :)

Weekend Fun!

June 8, 2009

This past weekend I went to Nashville with my little sister and some friends of hers for a night.  We went up there to celebrate my little sister’s 21st birthday.  I keep saying little sister because I absolutely cannot believe that she is getting this old! Despite the fact that she is aging at an extremely rapid rate, we had a great time this weekend!wyndham-nashville

We stayed at The Wyndham Union Station.  It is an old train station that has been turned into a gorgeous hotel.  The rooms we decorated in a cute pale blue, cream, and chocolate brown theme.  (PS I love this color combo!)

Check out the cushy robe on the corner of the bed!  Deliciously comfy I tell you!

We had a lovely dinner at this quirky little restaurant called Mambu.  The decor was so cute and fun.  The atmosphere was quiet, but not stuffy.  We all just had a great time talking and giggling.  The food was fantastic too.

The one drawback of the weekend was that we were only there for one night.  I could have stayed thre for at least a week, probably longer.  Don’t think the hubby would have appreciated it.  I’ll just have to bring him along next time.  Oh well, back to reality.
