Escaping to the Sunshine

We’ve escaped the cooler (actually, quite cold) “spring” temps of Chicagoland to visit my parents in Arizona for a little getaway. The boys are running rampant doing boy stuff outside and I am just enjoying the sunshine and a much needed break from the everyday mom routine! And enjoying a glass of wine while I’m at it 😉

I wanted to pop in quickly to remind you that you have until midnight CST tonight to enter my 2 year blogiversary giveaway for a FREE minted print of your choice! and framed at that! Follow the details at the bottom of this post to be entered to win. I will follow-up with the lucky winner shortly after the giveaway closes.

It could be you!

Since I’m not actively working on any decorating or DIY projects at my own house right now, you can bet new ideas are running wild while I’m away! I always love spending time at my parents’ house, both in Iowa and Arizona, and helping my mom decorate her home. While I’d love to relax and not think about anything house-related… I just can’t turn it off! I’m not strong enough to fight the urge ha!

You might remember back to when I whipped her mantel into shape for Fall while I was visiting last October.
fall mantle - mantle styling - copper gold - mini pumpkins - gold sunburst - fall vignette - brass candlesticks - fall vignette - This is our BlissI just love getting my hands on someone else’s space.

And if you follow me on instagram, you saw a shot of the guestroom wall in one of my parents’ rental properties that I’ve helped my mom furnish and decorate over my last couple trips down here, including a quick girl’s weekend getaway last August where the sole purpose was to design, shop and decorate a few spaces.

I’ve been meaning to blog about it since, well…August, I guess, but I promise I will share some of it with you sometime very soon! It’s a ton of fun to work on a room or an entire home other than your own. Trying new things and working off of someone else’s style can be challenging, but so creatively rewarding. Although my mom and I share similar taste in many things – not just décor!

While I’m stepping away from the blogosphere for a few days, you can be sure to find me on social media. See more of my trip this week and you’ll always get project sneak peeks before the details are live over here.

Come on over and hang out with me! I’d love to see you more often!

Thanks for reading and I’ll be back to the blog soon to catch you up on my own house after we are back home! #nomoredecoratingadventuresatmoms

Wishing you all luck on winning my GIVEAWAY & tell your friends about it, too! Have a great day! xoThis is our Bliss - signature
