Weekend Inspiration: No. 12

Well, guys, it’s official. I’m out of the office for the next week on my way to the beach with family! John’s staying home again this year to keep an eye on the house and pets, and also to take advantage of a few extra fly fishing hours after work, so I’ll certainly be leaving a little “piece” of myself back home as I miss my sweet hubby and fur babes. As they say, though, absence makes the heart grow fonder, and this happened to work out as the best plan for us.

You might notice that things are a little quiet here on the blog next week as I enjoy an unplugged week on the coast, but be sure to follow along on social media and check back in next Thursday for the reveal of our completed One Room Challenge space. If you’d like to see an exclusive sneak peek of our made-over bedroom, sign up for the DGD Tribe newsletter here. The pre-tour goes out to inboxes at noon EST on Wednesday, and includes a bunch of my favorite photos of the finished room. In the meantime, here are a handful of links to inspire your creativity while I’m gone.
