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!

loving home....

No place like Home!

Showing off more roses! Pink and yellow roses started blooming yesterday!

Taking time to appreciate the early spring and rain to make this beautiful roses bloom!

The yellow rose of Texas is my favorite!

So pretty... if only you were here to smell.

The red roses draping over are Roses from Tyler... I bought this climbing rose 4 years ago and she has never shown off.. but this year is her year ... isn't she beautiful?

Thanks for taking a walk with me!
