Happy weekend everyone!
I hope you are doing some relaxing and sleeping in or whatever makes you
happy this weekend!
It’s all random all the time over here on Saturdays and this week, we are
talking gold manicures, hydrangeas, potential, dreams & THE closet project today.
1. Rocking the Gold
Did you know that gold was all the rage in manicures right now?
Especially DIY manicures
and not as in the ones that you do yourself with a pretty little bottle of nail polish.
I’m talking about the ones that you do yourself inadvertently.
Because it happened while you were busy painting away and you didn’t even notice
that half of your fingers were being painted right
along with your intended target.
2. Hydrangeas
In hydrangea news
Yes, they are still blooming.
Amazing, right?
I think they might be starting to be preserved at this point.
Read more about the power behind the flower
and what has been keeping them happy
3. Dreaming
I am ‘dreaming up’ a little bit of time to focus on some of that daydreaming.
I am thinking along the lines of planning a weekend getaway
that includes plenty of time to really focus quietly and do some detail work.

A ‘Dream’ retreat if you will- which I think we all need sometimes.
I am getting excited to put some huge energy into it

4. The Before
Over at Ebay this week-
I shared a peek the BEFORE on this piece...
and yes, that would be a YIKES for sure… but I also shared a few tips on how to get the
French Country style look with a piece like this. So click on over to see more
5. The Closet Project
The closet is coming along…
And when I say coming along, I mean the reveal is going up next week
and I am pretty darn excited to share how it turned out.
As in, I might be in love.
Seriously.
Happy Random Saturday everyone!

I could certainly fall in love with the closet peak. The peach is gorgeous. A crystal chandelier makes everything sparkle! ~Pamela

Courtney, I tried your $5 hydrangea fix, and it worked.
I have a black nail on each hand, and the rest is French, but for me this is rocking it out enough !!
More more more of the closet.

I simply CANNOT wait to see your closet…if it's anything like I think, it's going to make us all swoon.

The little sneak peek at your closet looks wonderful! I was drooling over chandeliers at Home Depot this morning while looking for linoleum…We lucked out 12 years ago when we moved to this house on closet-remodeling! Home Base (did you ever shop in one?) was unfortunately going out of business, so I went around to the three in our area and bought up all of their parts to make a mostly white closet with a couple of brown drawers (one for myself and one for my husband's side). Turned out nicely. 🙂
Looking forward to seeing your full closet!!!

I can't wait to see your closet. I mentioned ours in one long thin closet so I'm looking for any kind of inspiration. Your chandeliers are beautiful.

I love the hint for using alum. My hydrangeas are not in bloom yet and are still too early for our local markets to carry. I have the same problem you described with the hydrangeas lasting as with my lilacs. I'm going to try the alum on those, too. Will let you know if it works as well. Love your posts – always an inspiration.

Cannot wait to see your closet reveal! I'm hoping for some inspiration for our own "closet renovation"! A weekend getaway? Ahhhh…..sounds heavenly!
