Another Little Room Makeover

By
This one was pretty much done and dusted in early March - just in time for Dustin's mom to arrive! This is the guest room makeover - funny enough, the paint we had was nearly the same colour it already was.

So, last Friday I had worked the early shift and was back at home on a call with a virtual assisting client, so naturally my mobile was on silent, and as soon as I hung up, the home phone rang. (This is a phone that only people who have had a part in giving birth to one of us tend to use... that and wrong numbers, we get a surprising number of wrong numbers...) Anyways when Dustin's voice was on the other end the confusion began. "Hi, I'm at the hospital. Come here now." "What happened??" "I'm fine. Just come up here." (Wheels spinning in my head...)
