Labor of Love

If you've read this post, then you know that one way I love to spend my time is decorating & re-decorating our home.  While my husband doesn't always encourage these endeavors of mine, Brett's usually very supportive.  Even when he knows he's going to do most of the work!
Brett's most recent "labor of love" happened last autumn, when we I decided our bedroom needed a new look.

My dear hubby painted the new color {Sea Spray} over the old, covered the wainscoting in a pale grey {Silver Birch}, added vintage doorknobs to new curtain rods, put up the curtains{also new}, made a headboard out of an old door we found at a local antique shop, and painted two nightstands. 

Despite all of that work, Brett still managed to build & paint a table that stands under the tv{yes, we do have one in the bedroom}.  He even spray-painted all the frames hanging on the wall!

Oh, don't worry, I did some of the work, too. I planned & shopped, added trim to the lampshades, "staged" all the decorative items, made the bed; and, of course, I supervised the whole project:)

After a "little bit" of labor + a whole lot of love, I think our room is now one sweet dream! 


*P.S.  While I'm a born perfectionist, my husband sort of becomes one whenever painting {or any kind of construction} is involved...I make offers to help, but he most often prefers to just do it all.
Thank you, sweetie, for the many labors of love you do!  Lovin' you is no labor at all.
