happy | Caroline's New Bedroom

Happy Friday! I'm so excited for the weekend - it's Derby time! I have lots of hats to wear - too bad I have no idea who is running in the race! What are your plans?

Remember this Goodwill lamp & desk makeover? Well I had to show you where it ended up! It made me - and Caroline - really happy this week to get her big girl bed set up (aka a mattress on the floor for now). So out with the crib and in with the desk!

Her bedroom before. I was so tired of pastel and pink.

So now it's red and turquoise with some yellow. I would love the walls to be a darker shade but that's for another day. We knocked off the awesome Enzo Mari Apple print and I framed a few pages from a Madeleine book that I got on clearance.

We spend about 15 minutes every night picking out books every for her to read to her babies in bed. This, of course, drives me totally bananas. But check out Caroline's lovely bookshelf - it was made by her super talented Papa.

But she stays in bed - that's the important thing! She's happy so I'm happy. :)

Let me know what made you happy this week!

happy | Weekend Loving

Happy Sunday everyone! The weekend has gotten away from me - Gigi and Papa are visiting and we've been busy with birthday parities and trips to the art festival and Costco.

A few things that made me happy this week...

• I really got into the royal wedding at the last minute. Loved the dress and all of the fabulous hats. What did you think of Beatrice and Eugenia?
• I look forward to the Cherokee Park Art Festival every year just so I can see these floral prints. I want all of them, but especially the poppies.
• Caroline moved into her big girl bed last night!
• These clever DIYs - I've already knocked off one! 
• And stop by Craftaholics Anonymous - I'm guest posting!

A few of my posts this week, in case you missed them...

• The cutest children's clothes - and a giveaway!
• I made my own Derby hat
• Another Goodwill makeover - turning a campaign desk green!
• Would still love your advice on making mom friends

What made you happy this week? Leave a comment, those make my day! :)
