Bedroom Makeover

Blake recently brought to my attention just how brown our bedroom was.  We have dark brown furniture and we also had a dark brown comforter.  I had been looking for months for throw pillows to brighten it up, but we couldn't ever agree, haha!  Well we found something we could agree on...a new duvet cover and pillow ensemble.  It brightens up the room so much! Got to love a great sale at Macy's!  All items at least 50-75% off!

What do you think??? I specifically love the pillow mound!  We are thinking of putting some floating shelves on the wall above the night stands and of course some more pictures or artwork on the wall!  We could also use some bedside reading lamps, but I think we are off to a great start!

Backyard Bobcat Cubs

It's not everyday that you have baby bobcats just on the other side of your backyard fence!  I was doing some ironing in the living room when I look up out the back window and notice a bobcat wandering around our patio...likely looking for food or drink!  So I run around like a maniac to find a camera and by the time I find one the bobcat has jumped over the fence and into the wash.  You can bet my crazy husband did not let that stop him...he goes over to the fence and finds this absolutely amazing scene on the other side....




Oh how I absolutely love the desert!  Blake of course was very worried about their hunger and thirst, but no he did not feed them.  Thank goodness for a FABULOUS monsoon this afternoon that I am sure provided them with water...as well as all our thirsty plants and grass!
