simply complicated

This past weekend I crashed my parents mini-vacay in Savannah, Ga. I am so glad I did! It was so fun. Here are a few of things I've learned in the 3 days I was in Savannah...

1. Do not go in July. Holy hot batman...

2. If you see a guy stumbling while walking up the street in front of you, make sure you cross the street to dodge him. But watch out! He may or may not throw rocks at you. #truestory 

3. Take a trolley ride around the city. It is really neat to see all the squares & learn about the old buildings. #thatsprettyneat

4. Go eat at Joe's Homemade Cafe in the Savannah burbs. Its a very small location, but so worth it. 

5. If you want to go out to Tybee Island, more power to you. But just know that its nothing too special. HOWEVER, the Sundae Cafe {p.s. its closed on Sundays...this is not a drill} is the only thing worth it out there. SO GOOD! Pricey, but a very nice well prepared dinner. Do not be frightened by the fact that its in an old strip center next to a gas station. 

Okay now...what you have all been waiting for... a few pictures from the trip!

It has been almost 2 years since Nathan & I moved into our house and the good majority of the rooms in our house {my office, guest room & future nursery} are not even CLOSE to being finished. The guest room is my "extras" room. That's where any extra decorations go. And I mean anything. Its the most hodgepodge room I've seen in my life. One of the most annoying things is that I haven't ever found any end tables that I have liked for it. So anytime my parents have come and stayed in that room my mom has always put the lamp {from the dresser across the room} on the floor...how annoying! 

This past week I started decorating my classroom & my sweet mother-in-law informed me that she has been saving some $ for me to use in my classroom or my house & I could pick which one. Well, I'm sorry to the future students in my classroom, but I chose my house. :) #sorrynotsorry

So after we did some decorating in my classroom, we went to an amazing antique store near by & did some damage {not literally but you know what I mean}. I got these 2 tables & spray painted them gloss white. {there were a few additional steps to this...let me know if you'd like me to do a separate post on that}

I also got a lamp to redo {spray the base & get a new shade}, a clock for the guest room, & a planter for the front porch. I will show those when they are complete. :)

After the antique store we had to get a few things for my classroom {legitmately} but we stopped in TJ Maxx to see if they had this rug that she had seen a couple of days before. Well, we should have never stopped in.... #saidnooneever

We did not find the rug. But we did find this beaut.
