    I am in love with that pale blue screen door in the white kitchen. Wow! You need a break from blogging until this wedding is over, don’t you? By the way, are you going to share any photos of it? We are all dying to see some of your work:>)

    Ooh this beach house is beautiful. Thanks for stopping by my site in the midst of a very busy week. I’m glad you like the chalkboard paint.. I was starting to have doubts and you renewed my faith :-) I’m having troubles with the links you posted though??
    Enjoy every minute of the wedding!

    Phew, I am finally caught up with my blog reading. Actually it is quite fun to come back from vacation and have so many posts to read at my leisure, especially since I also had the unpleasantness of my FIL’s death to deal with. All my blog friends posts and inspirations are truly welcome.

    Best of luck with the wedding; I know it will be fabuloso!

    Beautiful shots! I especially adore that quilt on the bed! I love, love, love SO much white homes… I guess it’s because where we live it’s winter most of the time… Great blog. I’ve posted a link on mine :)

    I love, love, love that bedroom. Sometimes I think people assume beach house means all blues and cool colors. I love to see that they still made it look fresh and still used warm colors. I’m off to read your other articles!

    I was roaming around in the blogosphere and came across your blog. What a delicious beach house. I’m in the midst of decorating (moved in the spring) and can’t help but look at all things decor. Thanks for posting this and the other links.

You must be running on pure adrenaline and LOVE! Remember that as much as this is your sweet daughter’s day, it is your day, too. You get to watch your little girl begin her new life. Such a blessing, such a miracle. I love you, dear heart! Can’t wait to hear about everything!

    My dear BFF,

    By the time you read this, your oldest daughter will be a married woman. A married woman…Please take a deep breath and congratulate yourself for being the fantastic, loving, wonderful, caring, mother that you are. You have taught your daughter to love so completely, that she felt confident in choosing her life-partner. That is a big one, Melissa, a very, very big one. You may feel a little bit down in the next few days. That is such a normal reaction to coming off of such an amazing life-high. Take some time to reflect. Take some time to think about the special person that you are.

    Mazel Tov and blessings to the beautiful couple. May they share a lifetime of health, happiness and love.(and a few grand-babies wouldn’t hurt, either!)

    Love you, sweet friend,
    Debbie
