If you’re looking for a little slice of Tuscany in Southern California, be sure to visit Monserate Winery in Fallbrook. 🇮🇹

We enjoyed beautiful day of tasting award winning wines, exploring the 116 acre estate, (the wedding venues are to die for 😍), listening to live music, nibbling on delicious Italian-inspired cuisine, and admiring the breathtaking views that make it the perfect spot for a relaxing afternoon or special occasion.

This is definitely one of my favorite wineries in North County San Diego.

So day 3 of my guest room makeover was “challenging” to say the least! Who the heck writes the instructions on these things we have to build? I got it mostly done, except when it came to putting the tracks on the drawers, I couldn’t get it to work! So I left that by the wayside and got to painting, which I’m actually pretty good at!

After three coats, I was ready to hang some curtains to add some color and put the bedding on the bed.

As for the TV stand, two days later, my awesome hubby and I took the whole thing apart and put it back together from scratch. 🤪 Thank God someone in this house is able to read Sanskrit and likes puzzles. 🧩

More coming soon!

Day Two of our guest room make over was kind of a success… the paint did NOT indeed match. 🤪 But I did find the correct paint color in the garage. After painting three coats the affected walls, I realized how gross and dingy the door and door jam looked. So guess what I did on day 3? 😂

Day 3 coming up!

So this is how this room started…Messy and unorganized since my daughter moved out and quite frankly, a dumping ground for “stuff”. 🫣

My plan is to rearrange the space, add some paint, curtains, and add in some items we already had in the house. I want it to feel warm and inviting and also be functional. I definitely don’t want to spend a lot of money, so I’ll be searching my garage for things that are still in there from our remodel last year.

And yeah… I still need to get those pics and videos up here. 🤦🏻‍♀️

If you’re thinking about a DIY makeover for a room in your house, follow along in my journey of this fairly easy makeover.

And a special shout out to my hubby for helping me along the way. He’s the bestest handyman a girl could ask for! 🛠️🧰

Before May the 4th be with you, there was YOU! Happy 25th Birthday to the beautiful young lady who made me a Mama!

Proud isn’t a word strong enough to tell people how we feel about you! You’re truly a blessing and a gift to us from God.

Love you sooo much much baby girl!

We had such a wonderful time at the Old Mission Santa Barbara last weekend. The gardens, architecture, and rich history were absolutely amazing. I’ve visited Mission San Luis Rey in Oceanside before, but it’s been years—so now I’ve made it my new mission to visit all of the California Missions! 😊⛪️✨

History: Mission Santa Barbara, founded in 1786, is one of California’s most iconic Spanish missions 🌿⛪️ Known as the “Queen of the Missions,” it’s famous for its beautiful architecture and twin bell towers. It played a major role in early California history and is still an active church and museum today. ✨

Have you visited this Mission? Or if not, what other California Missions have you visited?
