Random thoughts on a sunny Saturday morning:
1. Happy Fourth of July! I hope you enjoy celebrating with friends and family.
Do you have any fun plans for the Fourth?
2. I can’t get over my summer nails. They are very long and shiny.
And All this is thanks to this.
3. I am very excited. I’m making my mom’s room at the Cape for her. The room is designed around a pine dresser she had as a child and a few other antiques. We’re going for a classic Americana summer with a gallery wall of vintage oil paintings.
I will share everything on Monday.
4. I just watched a great video on linen with an awesome tip. I like to wear linen, but I don’t like ironing. If you spray a little with water and pull the linen, it kind of falls into place (and it really works).
5. It was kind of a slow week on the blog (I took a little mini vacation with the family). We discussed:
- This broke my heart into a million pieces
- The Secret to Refreshing Old Wood (Without Sanding or Staining)
- The deal

6. Have you read The Rose Code and it is set in World War II with three girls who work as codebreakers with British intelligence. But during the war there is a huge mystery about something life changing with them.
