.:Tidy Tuesday:. Updates...

This week I am feeling very productive and relieved to finally have our guest room FINISHED, minus a few finishing touches.  I promise, pictures are being edited as we speak and will be posted ASAP!  For this little guest room project, I wanted to use as much of the accessories and furniture that we could, with spending some time in Ikea for a couple extras.  One of my favorite projects for the guest room has been finding fun fabric to cover some pillows I had.  These large pillows came with our living room couch and chair set when we bought it, but were quickly pushed aside when I found a more trendy patterned pillow from Pier One.  Check out how I transformed these babies:

.:AFTER:.

I have 2 of these which will go great on our new daybed that looks like this:

On a personal note:
Jake and I leave for India in less than 2 weeks! We are getting so excited and are just so humbled by the graciousness of family and friends who are supporting us with this crazy adventure of a trip I know it will be!  Please check out and subscribe to  http://www.globalhopeindia.org/ to stay updated on our travels and what's happening with us in India!  One of the neat projects we are praying to do in India is to break ground on a girl's dorm for the orphanage there.  For 12 years, the girls in the orphanage have been sleeping on the floors in the small church building nearby.  Our hopes are to raise enough money by the time we arrive in Hyderabad to begin the process of this being built.    Please checkout the website to see how you can help!

Jake's music website has also launched this week - which is just another stepping stone to his dream becoming reality.  Check it out to read his blog, see his show schedule, and listen/buy his music!
