My sisters wedding....

My beautiful sister Natalie married the man of her
dreams this summer! The day sparkled with homemade
touches and gorgeous friends. Here is a peak of some of the
beautiful things the day contained!
My son Bodie carried a sign that said
"Uncle Danny here comes your girl"
Natalie and Danny
 
The head table complete with wine bottles and mason jars!
Nothing better than cupcakes if you ask me!
Someone at the wedding thought Natalie's vail belonged on here?
                                                                                                                                                                   
In lew of a guest book Natalie did poloroids with notes, soooo cute all pined
to the door and shutters!
Danny's older brother Mike married them in front of Convict Lake, CA.




It was a fantastic day and I will post more pictures once the photographer sends them! Enjoy!!

This chair was in my Grandmothers house for as long as I can remember and needed a bit of love!
It is my first attempt at upholstery and my only regret is I didn't use new batting on the cushion! It's very comfortable yet has some visible lumps due to the old cotton.
The toy box is an antique from my husbands family and didn't match the house so I watered down some white paint with a hint of gray and gave it a face lift! I love how this small sitting area transitions the earth tones from my living room to the black and white theme in my bedroom!
