Random thoughts on a Saturday morning:
1. Is anyone else watching the Bachelorette this summer? It’s normally not in my watching wheelhouse, but I felt so bad for her and the way the Bachelor broke up with her that I wanted to watch and cheer her one. I watched the first episode and I think I’m going to follow along.
2. Zack is graduating from high school next week. I literally can’t even. If I squint, he’s missing his front teeth and walking into first grade.
3. I’m painting the upstairs built-ins this weekend. I love to paint. There’s just something about making everything cuter in under an hour.
4. I just had a yard sale. When I planned it, I had no idea it would be one of the hottest days of the year. It’s supposed to be 100 degrees here in Dallas.
All that heat?
It suddenly made everything cheaper. 🙂
And now?
Let’s check out what the internet has been up to this week.
I love creating design boards.
Here’s an awesome post on how to create your own.
Why have just one summer decorating tip?
When you can have 30.
Do you ever over decorate?
Oh good. Me either. 🙂
Here’s a great post on how to tell if you are over decorating.
Love this free printable.
All is well.
(total aside: every time I see this—I add “with my soul.”

And in random news this week:
Loved this house tour (especially the idea of subway tile behind the glass cabinets)

How to make a bed like the magazines do
The ceiling in the first picture
This retreat sounds amazing

Seriously. I learned so much.
It’s long so make sure you have refreshments.
One more for the road.
Here’s a simple DIY on how to make a pillow that stars your house.
Happy random Saturday to you. 🙂
Happy Saturday! Looking forward to seeing the bookshelves painted and looking like they’ve been there all along!!!

Always love your Thistlekeeping. Thanks for gathering up the internet's goodies in your thistlekeeping basket and sharing them with us. You're amazing! Love you! ❤
My, the English have an interesting take on decorating in the countryside. I know I suggested bringing in more color to your blue and white living room, but whoa, Nellie!
Stellar Thistlekeeping Karianne!! Always look forward and this one was above and beyond:)
What is that gorgeous green color (#7)?
He is graduating already!!!! Next year you will have two in college . Thank goodness the girls are still in high school.
Really need to know the manufacturer of the faucet at your farmhouse sink. Please.? I have to make important decisions this week😍

All is well. (total aside: every time I see this—I add “with my soul.”) AND I SING IT!!!
I got all distracted with my singing, "All is well..." and forgot to tell you CONGRATS on Zack's graduation! By baby girl graduated from Texas Tech this month.... felling older every day.
