With a massive snow storm on the horizon it has been a bit nutty around town with supermarkets clearing out their shelves and everyone filling up at the gas stations. I tend not to freak out that much due to snow so our weekend was a bit normal.
We started out our Saturday at soccer, then enjoyed our typical bagel breakfast and then got to meet with someone to figure out some mortgage/house stuff. Fun times. 🙂
After that Jon and I got to run some errands kids free. Asher ended up passing out at my parents house and Hudson wanted to stay and play so off we went on our own.
We hit up Home Depot for some project supplies and I spied this laminatethat looked so pretty it stopped me in my tracks. It has a perfect rustic yet chic vibe to it and the price can’t be beat at .79 a sq ft.
I had heard that JCP was having a crazy clearance sale and I always do well there for the boys clothes so we headed there next. It was blissful. I got to go through all of the racks and not have to worry about a thing. Plus we picked up a bunch of cute things for them.
We got a little crazy and decided to go wander around the mall a bit, because it had been a while since we had been in there. We had fun, but I started to feel guilty that I didn’t have the boys with us. Especially once we saw the new Lego store! Hudson is obsessed with the movie.
Of course we had to go in and buy some for Hudson. Once I found the double double couch set I knew that was the one.
We ended our exciting Saturday 😉 with a trip to a new to me food truck called, The Big Cheese. They specialize in grilled cheese sandwiches.
I ended up trying out there grilled cheese stuffed with macaroni and cheese. I order a small and it was massive!
It was delicious and if you live in Nassau County, Long Island I recommend trying it out. I can’t imagine having it on a daily or weekly basis, but as an occasional treat it is well worth the splurge.
On Sunday I got to enjoy a little time catching up some design books:
While this little man had a Sunday snooze:
After a lazy morning at home we headed out to Brooklyn with my parents and meet up with my sisters and their respective boyfriends that are both named Steve. I’m convinced Hudson thinks all males in their 20’s need to be named Steve. 🙂 We tried out a new cupcake shop and then headed out for a late lunch.
When we got home I got some work done while my guys watched Bolt and played with Legos. Along with design work I also needed to do some research for my sister’s 30th birthday! She turns 30 on the 30th so it’s quite the big deal. For the big bash I’m in charge of desserts and have also decided to bring a couple little decor accents for the dessert table. Number one on my list is some glittery champagne bottles. I’m off to the craft store tomorrow to pick up supplies and will report back with how it goes. I didn’t want to waste a bottle of champagne for this project so I picked some inexpensive apple cider at Trader Joes.
Sounds like a fun weekend! I’m so glad that single board laminates are becoming so common now. My floor is due for a replacement and it’s going to be so much easier to find something that I love rather than just something I don’t hate.

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 […]

So excited to see what you have up your sleeve!!!
This sounds like a great weekend! Love that laminate.
And that grilled cheese? That’s a favorite of mine, but with macaroni?! Yes, please.
