This weekend was full of nothingness and not fun nothings, but nothings like having a mile long to-do list that we had to tackle over the weekend and not just relaxing at home.
We tackled some cleaning:
{Don’t worry this wasn’t turned on.}
I prepared some business cards for a networking event I have to go to this week.
I did a little client work. Loving this fabric scheme:
I also finalized some fabric picks for our basement:
I found the perfect Hollywood regency style lamp at a thrift shop. It has a couple of nicks in the finish so I will need to paint it. What colors shall I pick?
Target has the cutest office supplies in their dollar spot section. Picked up some goodies for myself during one of my errands.
My kitchen got a dose of pretty as well when I spied these set of 2 Turkish dish towels for $5 at Century21!
Gap Factory was hosting a crazy sale so I went to pick up some stuff for the boys and might have paused a bit in the women’s section and got some goodies myself like shoes on sale for $12.99!
I also picked up some dye to work on a DIY project I’ve been itching to try for the longest time. Any ideas?
When we were home after knocking out our to do list we were doing a lot of playing in the man den/playroom. As quickly as I clean it up they do this to do it. My eyes!
Best part of the weekend? Warmer temps and a little peek that perhaps Winter is on it’s way out!
Give us the goods on the basement fabric!!!! I swear, you should do the mix and match professionally for someone like Anthropologie…..you have got it girl.
Also, let us know ASAP about the rug dye. I tried it and didn’t get the contrast I wanted because although I tried to bleach it, and because it is 100%wool I should have used special chemicals but I didn’t want to buy/use them. I always think it is worth it to try something. If it doesn’t work out I move on to the next thing. PS-Don’t let anyone trick you about the concrete countertops…. I just did a desk and it is a LOT of work with a LOT of dust. Thanks for a fun post.

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 […]
