Hello dear friends! I am happy to report that the bathroom is 95% finished. If it would ever STOP raining I could take a few photos. This is the last week of school AND we have a houseguest arriving for the next week. So I’m popping in with a few Mid Week Smiles. By now you may have seen the Downton Abbey movie trailer. I can’t wait for September! But did you know that MASTERPIECE FILMS’ first theatrical release The Chaperone is currently in theaters? I hope to see it later this week. It stars our favorite Countess, Elizabeth McGovern.
Mid Week Smiles
I loved every single room in this Maine Cottage. We are headed to the east coast this summer. I can’t wait!
Beautiful Bathroom
Did you happen to get a chance to look at some of the finished projects from the recent One Room Challenge? I LOVED this bathroom. The tub surround solution would work beautifully here at Storybook Cottage if we were going to remain in the home.
How Does Your Garden Grow
The Chelsea Flower show opened up earlier this week. There is so much lovely inspiration. Including a garden that was designed by the Duchess of Cambridge. See the glorious photos HERE.
Sweet Scraps
I love this little patriotic pillow. I think I have enough scraps to make something similar. The image came from the blog One Little Pooh which alas has closed down. With a bit of sleuthing, I found that the owner now has an Etsy Shop.
A Fun Project
With the end of Sweet Guy’s junior year, I am taking to heart that there is the possibility I have just two summers left to spend with him before he embarks on a new journey in his life. So I want to make the most of it. For the summer I am only going to be posting 1-2 times a week. It will be quality over quantity.
I’ll be back on Tuesday with another Pinterest Challenge. We are supposed to give our take on recreating the image below. My main pieces for the project were picked up from my neighbor’s curb on garbage day recently.
Have a wonderful Memorial Day weekend!

That movie looks so good! It looks likeiti will have a limited distribution though, with no showings in my area. But hopefully they’ll either expand the distribution or release it for streaming some time afterward.
I rea d the book. I enjoyed it. Louise Brooks was an interesting actress….
I am looking forward to the movie,too!
Enjoy every precious moment with your son, Laura. The time goes way too fast and it is something you can never recapture. Make those memories now–blogging can wait. xo Diana
Again, you present us with great and inspirational tid-bits!
The pillow is now my next project, or something similar.
The Chaperon is a must watch for me, So thank you for the heads up.
Enjoy your house guests.
Have a wonderful Memorial Day weekend. Yippee for a bathroom at 95%!
Oh, the Chaperone — have you seen it? Looks like my kind of movie! (And you know, of course, that the extended Downtown trailer is out, don’t you? And wonderful stills. Daily Mail, I think, had a great article I shared on my FB. I’ve been watching loads of the Cambridges and the Queen and others at the Chelsea Flower Show. I need to do that sometime. Maybe next year would be my time to go!
Loved all here, the main cottage, the scrappy flag. And lovely to see such a happy post! You have your priorities right, with Sweet Guy. These are special times.
The Maine cottage was a favorite of mine online also. I could SO picture myself there not only for a vacation, but permanently. I have been in the Midwest pretty much my entire life, but in my head, I’m a coastal person.
Fun, fun, fun! Your posts always bring a smile to my face!
Happy Holiday weekend!
