Double-Double Monday: Blooms and the Great Reveal

When we lived in California, I didn't like In-N-Out much. But I've been craving it lately (go figure), so I thought I'd throw in a double-double...just for you! No extra charge. See, that's how much I care.

Last week, I promised you a reveal of the master bedroom. Well, now that Doug is at work (and not lounging on the bed), I have some actual pictures for you!

Here you can actually see how peaceful the grey is on the walls. Love it. The Van Gogh over the bed really doesn't go with everything, but it works better than the other pictures I had. So I'll have to work on that.

From the other side of the room...it looks pretty much the same. The next task in here (other than mounting the headboard and fixing the trim that my helpers were painting grey) is to get curtains back up. I do like the plantation blinds, but they let in way too much light.

And here you can see the unmounted headboard just resting on the floor. Height-wise, it's not a problem. But it will be a problem once I get those curtains up...

And here's your double-double...the blooms popping up in the garden! This is the Tradescantia, also known as Spiderwort (I prefer the Latin name on this one, for obvious reasons). The flowers look like the thumb-print versions made by kindergarteners. They only appear in the morning, so you have to get outside before noon (difficult with the pile o' laundry awaiting me downstairs).

The Stonecrop is also blooming. These pictures don't really do the flowers any justice. Normally, I take pictures at dusk, because the light is just perfect. However, since some flowers are only available in the morning (divas!), I had to make do.

Hope you have a great week - with or without In-N-Out!
