Find No. 1
I found that I am getting use to the off-white walls instead of the eggplant purple.

I found that spending money on home projects never ends. Even though the chairs are here and the library shelves are here, we have found that we have room for one more library bookcase, so why not fill the whole wall. Goodness knows we have enough books to fill the shelves. So maybe by the end of the summer this project will be done.
Find No. 3
I found that I am really loving my new Pottery Barn shelves that hubby put up this weekend. The display is a work in progress and will continue to evolve. Love being able to use some of my photo props for it though.

White walls look very fresh! :)
I love the Pottery Barn bookshelves. They are really cool. Your prawn skewers look delicious. I'm sure I'd enjoy the combination of flavours with pesto and prawns. Hope you had a lovely day at the wedding. You and your husband look great in the photo. All the best, Bonny
Such a joy to see a picture of you and your husband - looking so elegant and ready for the wedding season. I always enjoy your Friday Finds, but today especially. Your off-white walls look beautiful, and I hope you will find, as I have, that white is wonderful. When you have as many photo props as we all have, white is great, because it goes with everything! Those display shelves are perfect - and your collections really reflect you in such a genuine way. Your meal looks delicious, too - shrimp are my favorite.
I love your finds! I especially love the cute couple. How can our kids and their friends be old enough to get married? Wasn't I just standing out side the Kindergarten door waiting for school to get out? Thanks for sharing.
Your remodeling is beautiful! I love your shelves and new chair. Mallory has good taste...this looks delicious! Yes, you are a very cute couple, beautiful more like it!
Amazing re-dos in your home! I love changing things up! Great finds!!!!
I like the move from eggplant to off white . . .
and love the shelved wall . . . the library piece door, my favorite . . .
reaching a new phase indeed when you are to your daughters friends weddings . . .
Mallory can stop by and make me a shrimp pesto, roasted asparagus, baby potato salad if she wants to . . .
Mallory can be a roaming chef and cook for all her moms blogging friends!! The room looks amazing as do the shelves. You're adorable!
Oh, #2 is sooo true! We have a never-ending list. Guess I need to stay off Pinterest. :)
Love love your shelves they are gorgeous I have shelf envy lol.....
I love all the changes you made in your living space...one can never have too many shelves!
I love your beautiful bookcases. You can never have too many, in my opinion. I like those floating display shelves, too. Very nice!
Love the way you've told your story. The wall and your shelves look great!
The remodel looks great. I love the chairs you picked and those are pretty cool shelves. That meal looked and sounded delicious. Also great to see your photo. Doesn't it make you feel (older) though when your friends kids are getting married.
The off white wall looks great! I bet the room feels bigger too. The shelves are a perfect place to display your props. I am feeling older now that kids are having kids, graduating college and getting married. I guess it happens to the best of us. :)
Yes, home improvement projects are a real game of dominoes! But it's looking lovely so keep up the good work. I think you'll find the lighter walls refreshing.
adore your pottery barn shelves and your vignettes.... yay for the white walls...and our sofa is perfect.....
such a busy bee you are...... lovely finds my friend.
p.s. what a cute couple.....
Home decorating takes a lot of time and energy and I find you're doing a great job of it all. I love the new lighter coloured wall. Yes, a lovely time of the year for weddings! A really nice picture of you and your husband! Have a great weekend.
I love your new library wall - somehow the bookcases make the whole room appear - well, roomier - besides, I LOVE bookcases! :-) the pottery barn shelves are great, it's a wonderful way to have an ever evolving display - probably part of the fun. YUM to the shrimp skewers! Yep - we seem to be at that age where another round of weddings and then probably baby showers are on the horizon...
I know what you mean about home projects. But at least it is fun. Those shelves are wonderful. I love how you decorated them.
Oh, my! Eggplant was a bold move - but I love it. But I love the off-white, too! Have fun changing up your space! It's lookin' good!
I love both. I have a brown wall and still love it and off white all over. Its bright and light.
You have some alot of work. Beautiful
The wall looks great!
Love your shelves and love that library piece setting on it ..... wowza!!!!

The walls really look great Sarah and I love the pottery barn shelves...really makes your props stand out..
Enjoy the wedding.
You have given me an itch to do some home improvement at my house! Love the white walls and shelving...and really love those Pottery Barn shelves:)
I've been going to friends children's weddings for some time now and it is frightening to realize they are nearly all married off! Hope I'm healthy enough to enjoy the grandchildren's weddings when it is their time:)
I knew that Kim would like your white walls. I have to figure out the mailing issue. That Library box is interesting. Decorating with our props is fun, I have them all over my house.
Love the image of you two!!
Great post! And great home project. I'm currently in the bathroom makeover...just as soon as the "home for the summer" daughter gets out of there, I may actually get to finish it. Great shelves, and I want that library piece! Aloha
