Thrift Store Remix - Mirror

My sister, Jessi, has been working on redoing her bedroom.

Nope, that's not Katy Perry. I promise.

The walls of her bedroom were painted in colors similar to the ones on her shirt. Each wall a different color and even the ceiling was painted. It was LOUD, just like her. : )

Now she's thinking about redecorating with black and white, and Jessi spotted this pretty frame when we went to Ikea. I convinced her we could find a similar one at a thrift store for much cheaper.

A few weeks later we ran across this mirror:

It's much smaller than the Ikea frame - this one is only about 8 inches tall. I think it was only $3.99. It turned out really nice with a coat of black spray paint:


Spray paint makes everything look better. Now I've decided I need to find one like this for myself!

Mother's Day

We had a lovely Mother's Day picnic at the Arboretum on Sunday after church. George's dad met us there and we enjoyed spending a few hours with him.

Love. this. little. guy.

Reese gave me a great Mother's Day gift. That night he slept from 9-5:30, which is the longest stretch he's given me in a long time. If only I had gone to bed before 11:30!


And now I've gone and stayed up until midnight. I'm off to bed!

Happy Birthday Jessica Sue

How is it possible that my baby sister is 18 today?

I love you, little sis.
