Summer to Fall

The end of Summer is always so hard, but we had fun doing day trips into Boston, going to MV for Labor Day and then the start of Preschool for Charlotte.

Summer means spending time with family and cousins on Martha's Vineyard and we were so spoiled to be there for a month this year. Charlotte loves her cousins and tells me everyday that she misses them. We eat great food, spend time in the sun and enjoy the beautiful island. This is what gets me through the winter.

Loft Makeover

This summer on the Vineyard we spent a lot of time updating the loft, which is above the garage. It used to be the girls room, shared by my sisters and cousin Heather and has come a long way. Since it's separate from the house it became the catch all room, but now it has a cohesive theme and a modern look. Here are some of the before pictures and during. We are so pleased with it and now it's become the favorite room.

We did a lot of painting, sewing (well, I didn't, but my sisters did) and painting. Did I mention painting?  Pretty much everything has been repainted, which means lots and lots of coats. The bathroom was a big project by itself as we created a paneling style on the walls and luckily found another chart to use as the backing for the shelf as well as framed pictures. It's finally completed and the pictures don't do it justice.
Obviously I'm so proud of us because it was a lot of work.
