Style Scouting: Vol. 245
Thanks for stopping by for this week’s Style Scouting. My Sunday post where I share the random stuff that captured my attention or inspired me that I found online.
My husband Ed and I traveled to Virginia to spent the weekend helping our newlywed daughter and her hubby make some improvements on their house. I wrote about the house in this post. (open in same tab)
We hung drapes, added storm/screen doors and wallpapered an accent wall in the room that will be my 3rd grandchild’s nursery. Yep – Mandy is pregnant with a boy due in October. :-) We are very excited!!! His room is going to be done in blue, grey and white. I will be sharing more as the room and other projects get completed.

I splurged on this hat two summer’s ago after buying ones that just didn’t cover my face enough and stylish at the same time. I wear it whenever I go out of the house and get compliments about it all the time. I even added a cord so when I am out and about and go into a store or office, I can let it drop to my back – hands free. (open in same tab)
