Hope you all had a relaxing weekend. Since Jon is still on the mend from his surgery we took things a bit easy, but I did manage to get a couple of things accomplished.
I went back to the thrift store and picked up some of my favorite finds from last weekend. I now have a garage full of revamping furniture projects. So excited!
I also headed to the Duralee outletand snagged yards and yards for this amazing John Robshaw fabricfor less than what one yard costs.
My mom also decided she wanted a brighter and more cheerful family room so we are searching for the perfect new fabric to be our jumping off point and we found it with this beauty:
From our main fabric we wondered around some more and found a handful of brightly colored accent fabrics:
Can’t wait to see it all come together. We are on a tight time crunch for it, because we want it all wrapped up before Hudson’s upcoming baptism so stay tuned. I have so many finished projects that need to be photographed so get excited for some upcoming design goodness!
Speaking of Hudson’s baptism I was helping my sister pick up some bottles of wine for a thank you gift and stumble upon some perfect wines for Hudson’s party. In honor of his furry brothers we have MooBuzz for Moo:
And Bear Point for Bear:
Fun, right. I think they would be a fun/cute touch for the lunch we are holding after the Baptism.
On Saturday night we went back in time and headed to our local bowling alley for a little rock and bowl:
The last time I went bowling I specifically remember that I found out Princess Diana had passed away. That was in 1997. So let’s just say I was a bit rusty. I don’t think I broke a 100 once. Horrible, but fun.
On Sunday I ran some errands around town with my two favorite men:
{How cute are they in their matching shirts! I felt so left out. I need to get myself one.}
The cherry on my weekend sundae was finding this sweet little elephant vase at another thrift store:
{Lessens the blow a little bit for missing out on these lamps.}

My living room is one of the rooms that evolved drastically from when we first moved one. Originally I painted the walls chocolate brown and did accents of white, blue and orange. That lasted maybe 2 years.
Our dining room sat empty for months. Okay maybe it was empty for just a handful of weeks and then we couldn’t take it anymore and put in a folding table and plastic outdoor chairs, but in my mind that was still empty.
On the main floor of our house we have a Florida room. Being that it’s a Florida room it is a considered a 3 season room, because there is no heat in the room. The previous owners used it as an indoor patio with outdoor furniture and it looked like this when we moved in.
Fall is the perfect season to host an outdoor movie night in your backyard! It’s that time of year when outdoor furniture is still outside and it gets dark earlier than the summer which means your little kiddos can enjoy the movie night as well. It’s so nice to transform your backyard with cozy blankets, […]
Can you believe it’s already November? Before we know it Thanks No. 1 Modern bar cart with patterned sides that looks great as is, but would also look amazing painted a pop of color! Plus it’s only $157. No. 2 This lucite bar cart is a personal favorite of mine. Look at those chic lines! […]
For the longest time our backyard was mainly just grass and a little small area where we laid down some pavers so that we could set out a little plastic table/chairs during the summer. Not exactly ideal for entertaining. For the past couple of years we have wanted to build a deck and enjoy the […]
Love the fabric finds! I LOVE bowling I can’t believe you haven’t been in so long- I go all the time! The elephant vase is too cute
Did you get the MooBuzz? I saw it as well, but wasn’t sure if it’s too sweet. (PS – LOVE Stews!!)
I actually didn’t pick it up yet, but I thought the same thing. The description sounds like it might be really sweet. I will keep you posted!
