Five on Friday

Hello, Friday! I am so happy to see you. 
ONE: 
Garden & Gun has quickly become one of my favorite magazines. Their most recent issue features "five perfect island escapes" and our honeymoon location made the cut! Grenada was beautiful, the natives were extremely friendly, the weather in September couldn't have been better and the resort was very nice. We give Grenada our stamp of approval and can't wait to go back! 
TWO:
About a month ago, I mentioned that we had {finally} found fabric that we liked and wanted to use to recover our antique couch in our living room. It's finished and has been delivered, oh happy day! I'm in love with it. Premier Fabrics in Raleigh did a fabulous job!

THREE:
The past 48 hours have been rough for our pups. We've had horrible thunderstorms and Tenley & Bo have not been fans...at all. Bo only wants to be in a dark place by himself when it rains. On the other hand, Tenley will not leave our side and would prefer to be on top of us until the thunder and lightening stops. 
 
FOUR:
Am I right?
FIVE:
As many of you know, we are participating in the One Room Challenge, we have until May 7th to completely renovate our upstairs Guest Room. This weekend will be dedicated to making some major progress, follow along on Instagram {stephaniechalk08} and stop back by on Thursday for a recap on what we were able to get done.   



I am linking up with AprilChristinaNatasha, and Darci for Five on Friday and Amanda for Friday Favorites! Have a great weekend, everyone!
