Me = Still Smiling...

I don't normally get too personal on my blog, but I wanted to write a thank you post to my guy. I have to say I'm a lucky girl....even after 11 years together, he still amazes me. He cooks amazing dinners almost everyday (he loves cooking) & on Sundays he makes blackberry pancakes for us. But on this particular Sunday (August 2nd), he did something unexpected.....HE PROPOSED. He placed a beautiful ring on my finger & now, I'm officially engaged!! Some might ask, what took so long??!?? Timing never seemed to be on our side & now it is. I am truly grateful for every smile he has brought to my face. With that I say, thank you fiance, I love you......

Sunburst Yellow for Bathroom Re-do...

Isn't it amazing how a little bit of spray paint can make such a difference?? When Kirsten Grove of Simply Grove blog decided to spruce up her guest bathroom, she did just that. She purchased this brown chunky mirror at Target (2 years ago) and then bought a Rust-Oleum spray paint in 'Sunburst Yellow' for $4.00 at Home Depot. Also, take notice how she added a super cute wallpaper on the ceiling, now that is pretty cute! So, what do you think?

For the before pic, you can visit the Simply Grove blog!
