After all the painting I've done the past few months, I was lucky not to have had a big wipe out or spill on the carpet or furniture....until this past weekend.

My Dollhouse is Here!
Kim at Daisy Cottage is a wonderful inspiration for so many things!

Sad No More
Remember my sad little cabinet? After painting it a blah-ish yellow I wasn't in love with it.

I think I might have gotten a little over zealo

A Few More MN Photos
We took so many more great photos in Minnesota, but unknowingly had the camera set on an incorrect setting, so most of them are way too big!

I found this sad little cabinet at a thrift store for 10.00 and knew it had a second life in it!

While we were in Minnesota, my sister reminded me that my old wedding dress was hanging in one of the closets in my parents home.

More from Minnesota
I have a few more pics I'd like to share of our trip to Minnesota!
My Dad picked us up in northern MN and we drove the back roads for the 4 hour drive to my hometown in southern MN. Along the way we took a few shots of things we don't always see in CA.
