Making it home: Possible new decor?/Bedroom make-over

For those who have been in our home and know our décor style, you know that I love items with personal meaning and significance. I am contemplating making this image into a sign for our bedroom. (we are currently in the process of redoing it right now! Pictures to come when it is done!)
What do y'all think? Just curious if you like the actual picture, if you think it fits us, etc! Thanks a ton!!

The down side of military life

I will be the first to say that there are decisions made for my husband and my family based on the needs of the Marine Corps that I don’t agree with on a daily basis. I try to focus on all the blessings that we have because of the military. New places that I would have never seen, friends that become framily, traveling, an appreciation for selfless service, blooming where you are planted even if it is out of your comfort zone. (Just to name a few )
One thing that I cannot write off is missing family. My children miss their cousins that we may get to see once a year, we miss meeting new family members, mostly just miss what most families consider "normal" family experiences.
I am clinging to our recent family get together where we got to meet our 5 month old nephew and rekindle cousin relationships. We are not sure when we will all be in one place again since Hawaii, Texas, Missouri,  and North Carolina are not geographically close to one another but we are thankful for the memories made and strengthened relationships. 
Isn't he just the sweetest thing?
The sweet sounds of giggles, play screams, hugs, and sweet conversations are still ringing in my head!

New house, new downstairs bathroom

So y'all know I love some maroon paint right?!? (Not being sarcastic, i really do!)
Well I just found it to be a bit too dark in our new downstairs bath (plus we were going to take the wallpaper border down anyway......)
We chose this cool grey color.
We repurposed the blanket rack from Kenzie's room to hold our guest bath towels.

The flooring has some brown and grey tones in it.

My mom was getting rid of these prints so I snagged them from her. One lady's trash another's treasure ♡

I would still like to get a transition strip for the pocket door entry.

New Dining room

I knew that this was one room that I definitely wanted to make over. Wallpaper borders are not my favorite and I liked the pop of color along the bottom so it snowballed from there.
My parents and husband took the paper down and painted while I unpacked boxes. I am overall thrilled with the results. Most of my decor is rustic so I am trying to tie this into each of the rooms.
The coffee bar
I still need to sand the top down and paint it to match our wood.

We found the greyish-blue wardrobe at a local antique /junk shop. It now houses our wine, glasses, and liquor. 

I was eyeballing this at the same store that we got the liquor chest from and the owner gave it to me in honor of our anniversary ♡
