The Carneros Inn

When Jon and I were thinking about where we wanted to go for our belated second anniversary trip, we initially thought of somewhere tropical.  We honeymooned in St. Thomas and absolutely love any place with a beautiful beach.  However, after several people recommended Napa, I decided to do a little research and see what it had to offer.  I wasn't too keen on the idea at first, but then I found The Carneros Inn.  Right away, I could tell is was a picturesque place perfect for relaxation.  And while Jon and I do love the beach, we also live right next to one so trying something new sounded like a good idea.

The Carneros Inn is made of up of little cottages placed right next to a vineyard and breathtaking views.

We'll be staying in one of the Harvest Cottages, which features its own private patio complete with a firepit (for roasting s'mores!) and an outdoor tub.  What could be more relaxing?

There are a couple of restaurants on the property including FARM and Boon Fly Cafe.

I will be partaking in Boon Fly's famous donuts.

They also have a market at the resort where you can stock up on s'more kits and sandwiches before you head off on a picnic via one of their adorable bikes.

And we'll obviously be enjoying lots of vino and relaxing by their stunning pool.

Oh my goodness.  I can hardly wait!

Our Living Room Mood Board

Our living room is slowly but surely coming together.  The biggest To Do's are ordering a new media console, painting the room (which is unfortunately open to the dining room, kitchen, office and breakfast area which means lots of painting to be done!), order a few lamps and a console for the long wall behind the couch. I realize I haven't shared any pictures of our "new" house (we moved in at the end of last October) with you guys.  So here's a glimpse of the living room before we moved in. This is what you see when you walk in the front door.  The dining room is on the left, the living room is straight ahead and the office on the right. A closer look at the living room.  Florida loves their plant ledges...I do not.  You win some.  You lose some.  I also want to replace the tile around the fireplace.   A view from the back of the living room looking toward the front corner of the house. The room behind the half green wall is the o...

Guest Room Before and After-Healing Aloe

 Here is a shot of the room in all of its coral glory.  Great for a teenager, not for a soothing guest room. And here is the Healing Aloe after.  Healing Aloe is a color by Benjamin Moore. It was hard to get a good shot of the true color, but it is more of a seafoam than gray. Aside from painting the walls and buying a new white quilt for the bed, everything else in the space we already had--most of which are hand-me-downs (bed and dresser) or thrift store finds (lamp and side table).  It will all be sufficient for now, and hopefully a space that our guests will love. I'm very happy with the outcome and the progress of one more room in the house coming closer to completion.  One down, three to go (at least in the painting department!)

Table Decorating Contest

Jon and I are leaving to spend a long weekend in San Antonio with his parents and his brother (who will be town from Arizona).  But before we go, I wanted to leave you with some pictures from the Officer Spouses Club Table Decorating Contest that was held last night. I called Jon on my way home from base, and he immediately asked "How was the contest?" to which I responded "Victorious." The 32nd FTS, our squadron, took first place! The theme was Silver Screen so we decided to focus on famous quotes from each movie genre. Each place setting featured a different movie. We had a "drive-in" for our center piece where clips of the famous quotes were shown. Welcome to the Jayhawk Drive-In! Wizard of Oz place setting. The glass had a button you could turn on to make the water swirl and look like a tornado inside. Also notice the witch's feet sticking out from under the plate :) A close-up of the yellow brick road I painted. Silence of the Lambs pl...
