poor man's gard[en]

today's post

features our 

guest bedroom.

when we first moved in

it was our 'african' themed guest room 

but we have recently acquired

some stunning furniture pieces 

and have been inspired to 

change the room a bit.

and, it's much more fun to 

change things every once-in-a-while.

it makes life exciting.

and satisfies the artist in both

of us...

so here is a before photo

i wish i had taken one of the 

finished african room. sorry.

you'll just have to see it in 

the in-between stage.

it was a room full of mainly reds, 

blues & some fun bold african

prints. 

it was a bright & colorful room.

quite fun.

but, because we both tend to get tired

of seeing the same thing all the time,

and because

jonathan is really good at finding great items

{& i am growing...}

we can redo things inexpensively. 

so that's what we are doing.

pretty much throughout every aspect of our lives.

doing things inexpensively.

minus toilet paper. 

we don't skimp out when it comes to toilet paper.

we'll gradually be working on the guest room

these next few weeks and i will keep you posted

when it is completed. i am super excited.

and, because i love decorating and love

autumn, i thought i would share 

one of my recent 'tablescapes'

with you.

  enjoy the rest of your tuesday friends.

jonathan and i are going on a date tonight.

finally. 

love.
