Home, Garden, and Elephants

Happy Monday everyone! I have no idea how the weekend went by so fast. 
We didn’t do too much this weekend. The husband went out with friends on Saturday so I just hung out with Wrigley and rented the movie The Kids Are Alright. It was really good, but what I really loved was the interior of their house. It was amazing. I had to keep rewinding parts just to see more of the house!
We are on a home improvement kick and have decided to update our master bathroom. I’m so overwhelmed with all of the different options available! We shopped around on Sunday but felt even more confused afterwards. The husband called me while I was at the gym and said that there was a Home and Garden show going on downtown and if we hurried, we could attend the last hour. So I rushed home, grabbed a coat, and headed out the door. 

It wasn’t as fun as the Boat Show, but I think we got a few ideas and some good names of remodelers/contractors.
And I’ll leave you with the one and only photo we took this weekend.
These elephants were displayed downtown during an art show and I was obsessed with them. I was so excited they were at the home and garden show! (thank you in advance for ignoring my messy hair and no make-up face…remember I just came from the gym!)
