Lawn Makoever!
I had a major grub problem.....
In the first photo above you can see the damaged lawn patches from the grubs. Here's what I did:
1. I raked up the dead spots & pulled out the damaged top layer of dead grass and top soil.
2. I sprayed "Seven" insecticide on the lawn w/ a hose attachment & let it sit for a few days.
3. I raked again lightly and added new top soil to the patches.
4. I put down Scott's Patchmaster & Turfbuilder
5. I watered
6. I waited.
7. After a week, I put down a little more patchmaster in empty spots.
8. I waited.
9. The first 2 weeks barely anything happened....a few grass blades started to come up. I was nervous that all of my sweat & money was wasted....
Then, take a look at a month later! Whoa!

Boudoir Updates!
So, I've grabbed a few things over time and have made some updates to my masterful master boudoir!!!
I bought these 3 square mirrors from Lowe's almost a year ago and wasn't quite sure what to do with them yet (Actually, I bought 4, I was thinking about doing a grid of 2 across, 2 down...). So, today, I decided to mimic the look of 3 side-by-side looks like the framed art I have on the opposing wall by putting 3 of the mirrors side-by-side. I was really torn about the placement of my tv. At first, I deliberated getting it mounted on the wall, but what if I ever wanted to change my room and put my bed on that wall (which will probably never happen, but....) Also, I sort of don't like the look of a mounted tv in the bedroom. So, while it's covering the first mirror right now, I'm okay with it--for now!!!
The mirrors were $24.99 each from Lowe's
Here is a closeup so you can see the fine detailing on the mirrors:
Then, at Homegoods, I grabbed a few cute storage boxes for that random stuff that accumulates in the bedroom!!! I love them because they are modern and clean looking, but also romantic and feminine, which is what I am going for with this room! (They were all $9.99--$14.99)
Lastly, I picked up this wire wall art dress form from Pier 1 for about $15.
