Well Memorial Day weekend is here. I am so looking forward to it. I have some building to do, my office to finish and lots of book reading and relaxing to do. I am hoping to get some hiking in too!
While I do enjoy the fact it is a long weekend, I can’t forget that it is a day to remember those who gave their freedom up for us. My hearts go out to their families, I will be forever grateful. I also know that for the veterans who fought beside those men, it will be a tough day as well. My heart and hugs go out to you.
Favorite Quote: Learn to forgive and apologize, it makes for a shorter argument.
Favorite DIY Inspiration: A new media center/tv stand is on my list of things to make since the one I have doesn’t work. This would be perfect, though I don’t want it to be that tall. I’d want it to be longer and only half as tall. I think I need to work on a plan to build one. Love the sliding barn door part. It may be way out of my skill level but I want to try.
Favorite Bedroom: Why can’t this be my bedroom!!
Favorite Funnies:
I laughed too long and hard at this so I had to share it.
Seamus really can’t make this claim because he is truly a stinker, but my Dad’s dog can.
Also linking up with Natasha for 5 on Friday.

That bedroom is gorgeous. I love all of the reclaimed wood work. So naturally beautiful. Enjoy the long weekend!
Kerry says
I love exposed beams and details like that, I can see lots of reading and relaxing in a room like that one. Long term goals! Have a great weekend celebrating!
kathy at real talk says
oh, that bedroom. sliding (barn) doors look amazing. a friend refinished 2 for his house and it looks so good!
Kerry says
I am swooning over the bedroom! I love them so much and they wouldn’t fit in with my house type, but I can take that piece with me so it’s perfect.

The bedroom and entertainment center are amazing!! I hope you figure out how to make it match what you want, it sounds like it’ll be perfect!! Definitely can’t forget what Memorial Day is all about, so thankful for the men and women that serve. That cat pic is hilarious and Boomer is a stinker too but some things definitely get blamed on him too! Happy Friday!!

I love anything anti-inflammatory – plus, it sounds delish
My dad’s whole house is ‘barn’ related – I need to send him this entertainment center
Kerry says
The poor thing just bounced! Ha! I love watermelon so it sounds so good! Ohh yes, it sounds right up his alley then!
Stacia says
A Beautiful Mess did a sliding bar door and I think their tutorial was pretty good. You might be able to apply their tutorial to your media center idea. 🙂
Kerry says
Oh, I’ll have to check it out. Thanks!
Kristen says
oh my gosh that cat gif, i keep watching and i keep laughing.
that media centre thingy – oh my lord. gorgeous!
have a good memorial day weekend!
Kerry says
I couldn’t stop so I knew I had to include it, poor thing. I am hoping I can make it work and re-create something similar. Have a great memorial day weekend!
Nadine says
I love that media center!!!! Being that tall would certainly take over a room though, I see what you mean about wanting it half as tall. That bedroom is amazing, I want it to be mine too! I love wood beans on a ceiling. LOLOL at that GIF!!! Have a great weekend! Best wishes for the building of all the things 🙂
Kerry says
Yes, and I like to use it for my TV stand but also a mantle so I need the top to not be too high. The exposed beams are my favorite. Have a great long weekend!
Leeann @ Join the Gossip says
Ooh I’ll take that bedroom too please!
Happy three-day weekend 🙂
Kerry says
It’s just gorgeous, I really want to have one just like it some day. Have a great weekend!
Amanda says
I looooove that room! The ceiling! The fireplace!!!! *stars and hearts swirling around my head*
JC apparently has bad farts, but I’ve never smelled them – he always bombs Pete! lol
Kerry says
It’s so perfect! Would love something some day, a girl can dream. Haha! Poor Pete, Seamus has the worst farts!!
chelsea jacobs says

Ashley says
Girl I can’t wait to see how your tv stand turns out!! I’ll take that bedroom too! Gorgeous! Shane and I laughed at that poor cat! Hahaha!
Kerry says
Thanks. It is a work in progress!! I could totally live the heck out of that bedroom! Haha! Right?! Just bounced right off. Poor thing.
