Hello World! Welcome Friends! I trust everyone had a lovely weekend. If you follow me on Instagram, I made a post early this morning about an emotional hiccup I had yesterday. It was nothing earth shattering in the grand scheme of things. But, I’m a little tender today. My family of 3 is just fine and I am more thankful for them than words can express. Mr. Dedicated is my rock and has supported me through all that has been going on. It did not surprise him when his normally calm wife had a couple of meltdowns which is quite out of the norm. And, Little Dedicated has kept me laughing through it all as well as making sure to keep me playing games and challenging me to Mario Kart tournaments. I will not share what has happened with you due to the fact I am a very private person. But know that I appreciate each of you who take the time to visit me in my corner of the Internet. I needed to vent just a little.
One thing I do know is God is good all of the time. His mercies are new every morning!
Thank you for listening! Now, onto the matter at hand, my powder bath and of course Make it Pretty Monday!
Just to keep you up to date, the stencil came in for the guest bath. This afternoon I plan to start work on that portion of the makeover. Also, I’m needing to add a bit of storage. The storage issue may have been solved by what I picked up at Hobby Lobby over the weekend. But, I need a little table to hold my storage solution. The following tables are in the running. Let me know what you think.

Thanks for hosting. The Tennyson side table would get my vote. Not sure how that is going to help with storage though.
Take care and I hope all gets better for you. Glad you have your sweet mister and your daughter.

The table is for the storage solution to sit upon. I picked up a small tiered basket unit that can sit on the table. Thanks for joining the shindig!

Kathryn, I guess I must be hungry – all those food and drink items look so tempting! The pork sliders and strawberry & white chocolate, and a little cocktail from Rebeca’s soiree party and I’d be all set. All I need is a little table. I think I’ll take the quatrefoil design, please. 😉
Thank you for hosting us! Happy to be on board.

Kathryn, although it’s been a while since I’ve communicated with you, I do read what you post. I loved what you did to your Breakfast Nook. I’m an Asian-decor enthusiast, so I loved the stencil from Cutting Edge on your accent wall. The whole room looks so inviting and cosy. Excellent job! Thanks for hosting the party. It’s a joy to visit with you and friends.
