Aged Porch Wood

After returning from a dine in moment from one of our neighborhood restaurants; the hub pointed out scrap wood laying in a pile along side the road for garbage pick up.  As soon as he brought it to my attention I immediately vouched for carrying it back to the house.  This wood wasn't your typical lumber from Home Depot.  This is 1920's wood that has been through rain, hail, and snow which made for a perfect distressed look in our dinning room. Lowes had great brackets for $5 to mount on the wall for support.

Thank you hub for the fabulous picture bomb

On Memorial weekend the family and I packed up everything and headed to Georgia. We have not been back for a visit since baby Brantley was born in January- the trip was intended to enjoy family and friends. It also fulfilled the much needed break we seldom get from the kids. The weekend went quickly for us but it also came with a cherry on top.  After being together for 10 years Mr. Kendall and I made it official in October.   In celebration of this moment in our lives on Sunday we grabbed lunch with a good friend and had a dazzling photo shoot.  Mrs. Renee Hicks at Lemon Chic Photography got her gear together after having TWINS (!!!) and spent the morning with us shooting in downtown Decatur, GA.
