charming house: bedding and gardening

a few weeks ago i purchased the shabby chic linen duvet set from target in the blue color. i absolutely love it. here are some pics i found via google:

this picture from here shows that its actually more aqua than blue

here is another picture that makes it seem more powdery blue

to finish off the look i purchased a white ruffled bedskirt and paisley bedsheets in a similar blue/aqua color palette- i thought the paisley would keep the bed from looking too simple even though i understand that simplicity is the heart of shabby chic- i just saw the bedsheets and loved em!

super excited to show you the finished result 
not completely finished because i have not refinished our headboard yet
that will have to wait a month or two
why? 
i have a zillion other house projects lined up
ry just installed a second new toilet (yea!) in the basement bathroom
and this weekend we have lots of gardening plans since the weather is supposed to be good
want to know the most exciting thing we are growing?

giant pumpkins!
not just one but 6 of them 
yes we are crazy
one of the seedlings is looking a little sad
i am not sure if he is going to make it 
but that will be okay- i think that 5 is pretty much overkill already

in addition to the pumpkins we are hoping to have 
acorn squash, butternut squash, spaghetti squash, summer squash
basically A LOT of squash 
which means a pumpkin patch for a backyard
so here's hoping it happens
happy weekending !!!
