yet another naples update

This is only my sixth post for 2019, and half of the six posts I've done have been pics of the condo renovation in Naples. I mean, it's June. I really need to step up my game on the blog!

My main excuse is instagram. I post on my instagram stories what I used to write blogposts about.  (Follow me here: @thefrenchtangerine)

I had planned to do a post on my patio and garden, but after the hail storm, my yard looks like a disaster. All the hydrangea bushes look like asparagus stalks. I think we will just cut them down and call it the summer of the hail storm. I don't even want to think about it.

I do have some good posts coming up! And even a new and improved look for the blog! So stay with me!

Meanwhile, in Naples...

The dust skirt was finished in the Master bedroom and I really love it...

I was originally going to do the wallpaper below, but waited until we got moved in, and I'm glad I did. I guess I'm just not as brave as I thought I was. I adore this wallpaper and think it could be amazing, but in the end, I decided to keep it more neutral.

Imagine the wallpaper options behind this chair and behind the tub above. Can. Not. Wait.

This bench and a matching pillow were added to the mix. 

I adore this lavender Quadrille fabric!

We tried to lose that weird column on the island, but it is absolutely necessary as it houses plumbing that cannot be relocated. So I just hung some intaglios and called it a day... Pick your battles.

Sorry, more bedroom pics... I'm just so excited about the bedding :)

The duvet could use some ironing, but it is a vacation home after all.

Ok, I believe I've gotten every possible angle of the bedding.

You guys, this was such a fun project! It's so different than my house in Omaha. It was really fun to work with pastel colors and beachy vibes.
