Where IS that hammer!?

So this is going to be a short snippet, as Brent and I have been running around frantically trying to find his hammer! I can hear his dad's voice in my head right now: "always put your tools back where they belong, Brent." Haha - thanks, Gary :)

This is probably just an extension of my preggo-brain. Poor Brent; I'm rubbing off on him.

The reason we're trying to find the hammer is that my parents are due to arrive anytime. We just completed our guest room...well somewhat. We refinished and painted my great-great aunt's iron bed! It's a beautiful piece of furniture, and we painted it a glossy black. I wanted to do a sort of shabby chic, country-charmy sort of guest room. I guess you could call it my Burkesville room, considering it's kind of reminiscent of the overall feeling of the house I grew up in (my parents restored my great-grandmother's farmhouse, and that's where I grew up. I miss it a lot!). Brent also calls the guest room our "girly room" because I bought a quilt for the bed from Cracker Barrel (I know, Cracker Barrel sells lovely quilts - I didn't know either!) that is creme with pink flowers all over it. Quite lovely, really. I'll try and post pictures. Anyways, back to the hammer - we needed it because there is nothing on the walls of the guest room yet. I bought a cool display holder for two antique plates that I found at this cool place down in Williamston called the Pink House. If you ever get down there, go there! It's an amazing little place to find odds and ends if you like antiques like me :) I like for everything in my house to feel like it has a story....I guess it's the Hawthorne-loving Romantic in me.

Ah! So the blog is now officially over. Brent just found the hammer. Wahoo!!!
