It’s graduation season for everyone, right? From college graduations (congrats John Kersey) to high school graduation (congrats Kailah Hill) to kindergarten graduations; it seems like everyone knows someone who’s celebrating. We have quite a bit to celebrate here in the Trop home. :) Both of our little ones graduated this week. K-4 and Kindergarten graduations. They melted our hearts with their little smiles and waves and made us more than proud by our little man becoming student of the month for May! When John and I prayed and searched for a school this year, we knew right away that this was the one. We are so thankful for God’s provision, allowing them to go to it. 
I’m so excited to share this week’s furniture makeover with you!! This desk was part of a french provincial bedroom set. I couldn’t wait to redo the desk. I actually started with the fabric and worked my way from there. I knew wanted it grey and I love grey and orange together but I didn’t know if I would be able to find fabric that would combine those colors with a design that I liked. Thankfully Hobby Lobby didn’t let me down as usual! ;) I bought this fabric and had to run through the knob aisle on the way to the check out (of course I do! it’s like an addiction… lol). These knobs were just too perfect to pass up. I was going to keep the original hardware, but I called John on my way home and told him to fill the holes because I changed up the design. I’m sure he loves those calls! ;)
