While I am so excited it’s Friday, I am a bit bummed as I’ve been under the weather and had planned to seriously tackle a reno project this weekend. I better keep the vitamin c going! Hoping you’re all feeling much better than I am. Sharing five things on my mind today as we kick off the weekend! 1| pulling it all together The lovely Marty, from A Stroll Thru Life invited me to share a room with her readers and how I pulled it all together. I think much of it was luck, but if you want to read about why this room is special to us as well as how it all came together, hop on over to her blog! ,, 2 | five ways . . . let’s hear from you I have been blown away from the response I get each time I post a “Five Ways” installment. I would love to keep the series alive and am curious if you all have a topic you would like to appear on this blog series. If so, just leave a comment below. If you aren’t familiar with how it works, you can check out past ideas here, here and here. m 3 | bring on fall We are grinning ear to ear in So. Cal because temps have dropped from 100 degrees to 80 degrees! Yahoo! But seriously, I am so darn ready for Fall and cooler temps. I love all things plaid. If you are a Nordstrom card holder, you have the next three days to earn triple points. Just good to know. This plaid shirt will be making it’s way to my Saturday Shopping post tomorrow. photo credit: white loft studio via style me pretty .. 4 | beautiful autumn printables My jaw dropped when I saw these. There is just something so classic and beautiful about these prints and I think you will love them too. Go check them out over at Tatertots and Jello! {psst. . . they are free!}. .. 5 | renovation underway We finally did it. I feel like we have been talking about renovating the children’s bathroom for years. Apparently we are very slow to warm up to major projects. Although I guess we have no choice now! In between football games last weekend, my sweet and strong hubby busted out all of the tile. There’s no turning back now. I will be updating you as we go. Fingers crossed we have a bathroom that looks pulled together at the end of this. And in case you are a new reader, we had a leak which is why we had to address this bathroom to begin with. The joy of water damage! Hope you all have a wonderful weekend. I am hoping to be back to my healthy and peppy self so I can help with this crazy project we’ve started. Wish us luck.

I did love your Five Ways to Avoid Color Commitment post – how about something along the lines of how to display dishes and other items in a china cabinet or breakfront?? Having issues with my dining room… Thanks for all your great work – just love your blog!

I hope that you're feeling better soon! Thank goodness we're back to more normal weather in Southern California! That was ridiculous. I'd love to hear your thoughts on how to make a loft useful and beautiful.

I will pop over to Marty's! I broke out my plaid shirt today even though it is 85 out. I am so ready for Fall weather and all that Fall represents. Hope you feel better soon!
