Simple..

Making a few changes in the master for the summer... 

I loved what I had before  

I am pretty much a black white type of gal.. so you know I would not stray too far from the basic  black & white..

This is the after.... small changes, simple and relaxing... 

It's white & reminds me of summer.. It's a Rachel Ashwell duvet cover 

Left my dust ruffle the same.. it's black & white polka dots! 

Changed out the black white check shades... for these burlap looking ones .. Gotta love Target!! 

Simple pictures of us... Fern in my favorite silver tea pitcher ... 

The room at a glance... inexpensive change and ready to embrace the summer!

Happy Thursday!
