High Five For Friday!

One. We had a really raining Memorial Day weekend so to get out of the house we decided to run a few errands and ended up having a few drinks.  It was definitely a "Sunday Fun Day!"

Two. I think we can all the drought in Iowa officially over?  We've had 5+ inches of rain in the past week.  This is the ditch by our house, which is very deep and it was nearly filled to road at one point - wow!

Three. The rain brought this guy (or gal?) to our farm place on Monday night who we quickly named "Myrtle the Turtle." Maybe since it got a name it decided to stick around because we saw "Myrtle" again on Wednesday night in our yard.

Four. Wedding invites are printed! Check that one off the list!

Five. Amongst all of the rain I was able to sneak in a walk on Tuesday night.  It was the perfect temperature and the sunset, actually seeing sun in general, was pretty cool!

I hope you all have had a fantastic week and fun weekend plans ahead!

Client Update: Rustic Glam Kitchen

I just recently finished this kitchen design for one of the neatest clients I've worked with so far!  Lisa's vision was a rustic glam kitchen - mixing old farmhouse appeal with a fresh new look and adding some color into her "very brown kitchen" as she referenced it! :)  Here is what I came up with and she's already planning a few vacation days this summer to do some painting and to be available when her new quartz counter tops and back splash are installed! :)

Out of courtesy for my clients, I do not share their source list.

Wedding Wednesday: Engagement Pictures

Happy Hump Day!  We had our engagement pictures taken at the beginning of May so thought I would share a few of my favorites.

The weather (wind) really wasn't ideal but our pictures turned out great!  We prayed the rain would hold off, which it did, but we forgot to ask for the wind to stay away.  Our photographer was, Andrea, from Adorn Photography she was fantastic to work with!  Check out her Facebook page here.  If you are a Nebraska native, and looking for a photographer, look this girl up - you wont be disappointed.  I can't wait for her to take our wedding pictures!

In case you're curious...

Earrings - Francesca's

Jean Jacket - Express (similar)

Dress - Filly Flair (exact)

I can't wait to turn these pictures into our wedding guest book! :)

Have a great Wednesday!
