BED ROOM PROGRESS! Paint Reveal! I saved myself $4 BED ROOM PROGRESS! Paint Reveal! I saved myself $4800 to remove all the wallpaper, skim coat the walls, prep and paint our bedroom and seating area. Completely worth it! 

Paint color is SW Clove. It’s the perfect rich color that combines brown, gray and black. It’s really beautiful. 

A dark color drench always scares me for a second, but I know it will be amazing when it ALL comes together! 

Next up for this luxe ranch bedroom:
- new chandelier on the way
- new flooring
- bedroom furniture!

Anyone else? 🫠 Is this stressing you out as muc Anyone else? 🫠 Is this stressing you out as much as me? I want to say I’m normally not like this… but my family might tell you otherwise 🫣. Determined to check these small projects off in the next few weeks! It’s always things like this that only take a few hours and I wonder why it took me so long to get to them 😅

Euro Summer First stop Paris 🇫🇷. It’s been Euro Summer First stop Paris 🇫🇷. It’s been 19 years since I’ve been here and it’s even more magical than I remember! There is something truly special about this city. The architecture, the people, the most amazing pastries, and gorgeous gardens. Showing my family this city was a gift. I experience it in a different way each time and it just keeps getting better. 

Bookmark these for your next trip!

- Walking through Place Des Vosges (or have a picnic) 
- Seine River Cruise at night ✨
- Louvre Richelieu Wing 
- Every single pastry and croissant 🥐 (they just taste better here)
