Happy Mothers Day

Happy Mothers Day to all the Momma's out there, the momma's to be and the someday mommas. 

love,

what's bloomin?

Happy Mothers Day weekend to all the mommas out there! Every May I look forward to the blooming of my favorite flower {the peony}. The white ones where the first to be cut from our beds this year. My entry smells so good this morning! 

chevron picture frames

Living in a tri-level we have some challenging spaces for example I've always loved the idea of a gallery wall but the way half our stairway is open it wasn't exactly conducive to a traditional staggered gallery wall set-up. I had seen these large chevron  picture frame projects a few times on blogs and Pinterest and I decided that the large size would be perfect to fill the space. Using paint I already had and 3 pre-cut boards from Lowes and some dollar store frames I got to work taping painting and sanding. I love how they turned out and I like the idea of switching out the photos like a rolling gallery .

If you're looking for a great tutorial for this project- I followed {this one}

Have a beautiful day!
