For the last weekend of spring break this year, Townsend and I went to the lake and just spent all day on the boat being lazy in the sun! I got some much needed rest and even started reading a new book on my kindle!!!
I'm not going to lie, I was very skeptical of this whole "lake" idea since I grew up at the beach. I honestly had never really been to a big lake until this year, besides to walk around Lake Johnson, but that lake is more like a big pond compared to Lake Lure! However, I will admit I am slowly converting and find myself loving going to the lake...put me on a boat and in a bathing suit and I'm a happy girl! Not to mention how beautiful Lake Lure is surrounded by the mountains!
Over Spring Break I also FINALLY finished getting my bedroom all put together. Before last week, I had been sleeping on the same pink and green bedding from Pottery Barn Teen since college. So, this year for my birthday I decided it was time to ditch the preteen look and go for a more adult feel.
For my birthday this year my Parents were so amazing and they bought me new bedding!!! It
was of course on back-order and then the monogramming place took 3 weeks instead
of the normal 7-10 business days so it felt like I would be stuck with
the pink and green forever!
However, I am happy to say it is all finally here and I am finally excited about making my bed in the mornings again!

I'm still in search for one or two bright floral patterned accent pillows to put in front of the monogram shams instead of the one that is there now, but this will have to do until next payday... |
Sorry the picture quality isn't the best, I took it with my phone this morning on my way out the door to work! A lot of loooooong hours and literally blood went in to getting this final look all put together! The bench cover, and two long pillow shams were all originally a shower curtain from Target that I cut up and sewed together!
It was a lot cheaper than buying fabric at a nice fabric store, and the navy vertical stripes were just what I was looking for! However, the amount of times I poked myself with a needle while sewing was a little ridiculous, next time I am buying a sewing machine before I take on a project like this one!!!
Over break I also stopped at Hobby Lobby when I was home for a dentist appointment! Everything in the store is like 40-50% off and I picked up some great things for super cheap...I'm talking 8$ for this vase! SCORE!
Hope everyone is having a great week and enjoying the nice warm weather!!!
