Honeymooning in Antigua

Hello Everyone!

Today has me in a weird mood, so I thought I would cheer myself up by reliving my honeymoon!  Jon and I spent 6 days of pure bliss in Antigua at Galley Bay Resort and Spa.  Prior to booking our honeymoon we discussed what we wanted out of our honeymoon and we decided on the following:

• All-Inclusive
• Tropical/Warm
• Privacy
• Adults Only

We found all four of those in Galley Bay!  I am so happy we were able to find such a wonderful location to spend this amazing week together.  When we arrived at the resort we were greeted with Rum Punch and cold towels, then driven to our private cottage where we would relax all week!  I am very glad we chose the cottage over a beach front room as we had our own swimming pool and patio area.  During our week in Antigua we spent most of our time: swimming, napping, eating, drinking, and relaxing!  We did not want to do a bunch of excursions or trips, so I am glad we were able to do everything we wanted without having to leave the resort!  Below are some photographs for our trip, I hope you enjoy!

Reupholstering a Chair

Hello Everyone!

I thought I would share this quick DIY project today since I am about to tackle a few more this week (then share with you soon!).  My aunt gave me this antique chair and I absolutely love it, but the upholstery was all torn up.  I decided to take the remaining fabric from when I upholstered my ottoman and used it to reupholster this chair!  

This project took a scrap of fabric, a staple gun, and all of five minutes to complete.  I wanted to share with you all that DIY can be extremely simple and bring new life to amazing old pieces :)

I hope this inspires you create something new with things you already own!  This chair cost me absolutely nothing and I adore how it looks in my living room :)

Let me know in the comment below if you have transformed any peices you own, found, or bought?!
