Twenty Years Of Updates Series - The Dining Room

 

Our home is officially on the market. It is an exciting time but I know there will be some bittersweet moments when we walk away for the last time. I have loved this house and have enjoyed sharing our updates on the blog. Some of you, who have followed me here, will remember a number of these updates, but if you are new to Be Colorful Coastal you can also easily join in as I highlight some of the changes that we have made here over the last twenty years.

Modern Tropical Bedroom

Emerald green or kelly green, whatever name you want to give it, this is the color I am obsessed with recently. So what better place to bring it into our home than the master bedroom.

Latest Loves March 2019

Usually, I am saying that the past month flew by, but it seems like the first of this month was eons ago. A lot has been happening. I have made a couple of trips back to the Midwest during March for the family. We are also winding down the interior remodel of our new downsizing house, getting the bigger home ready to put on the market, and checking off a couple of less significant house projects here in Florida. Whew! I was busy, but not too busy to discover a few new latest loves that I want to share here on Be Colorful Coastal.

So what are these Latest Loves?

Well, while visiting friends in Sanibel, I discovered this statement wallpaper in a new island cafe and you know I like a statement. I love the sheer size of those leaves. How pretty would this be on just one large wall? 

similar here.

 

 

 

On Liz's recommendation, I purchased what I think is, hands down, the best booster seat ever. Even though I bought it a while ago, I still love it and I'm always recommending it. 

 I love that it isn't obnoxious looking, it is stable and easy to clean, and best of all? It folds away and will fit in a drawer or base cabinet. At less than $30, it is a Mimi must have.

 

 

This inviting restaurant is my latest favorite place to enjoy a relaxing lunch and a glass of wine in South West Florida. 

 

 

You might have missed my post about getting a new front door. Yes, I'm so excited to show it to you but we are still waiting for hardware. In the meantime, I dressed up the entrance with this great looking and affordable outdoor rug.

 

 I am totally embracing this moisturizer with a whole myriad of peptides and squalane ( I guess that is kind of a big deal). All I know is that I love how it makes my skin feel tauter and it doesn't leave me feeling greasy or shiny.

 

When these kept showing up on repeat in my social media I was intrigued and finally caved and bought a set. I have to say they launder beautifully and the zipper closure keeps them from sliding off of the pillow. 

So what wondrous discoveries await in April? Sign up for email updates (just enter your email in the box in the left column of this blog, right above Catagories) so you are sure to find out and not miss a post in the meantime.
