Happy Monday! Again another weekend has come and gone way too quickly. I realized that it’s been a couple of weeks since I’ve done a weekend recap and I’ve missed them. So here we go again!
Saturday night we had a surprise 30th Birthday party to go to! It was a crazy hat party, which meant we needed to go out and gather supplies. After dropping $15 at our local dollar tree we were in business.
I decided to go with a spring time theme and picked up peeps, a cowboy hat as my base and butterfly wings.
I wanted to dangle something from the wings, but I couldn’t find anything in time.
Jon’s hat was a HUGE hit! He went with an army hat, army men, planes and night vision!
He had a great time getting the planes to fly and setting up all the army men so it looked like the dark green guys were against the little green guys.
Sunday was spent getting up bright and early, heading to the diner for breakfast, taking the pups to a state park for a long walk and a project of course!
Our basic half bath on our first floor got a bit of a re-vamp when we first moved in. Beadboard walls went up, a fresh coat of paint on trim and a tin ceiling was added. It stayed as is for a while.
Jon thought I was “finished” with it. Ah poor, stupid man. I’m never finished. I had slowly been collecting artwork to go into the space. This Sunday I made some headway with the project!
Sneak peek of bath:
I still need to get some more accessories, fill in some blank frames on the walls and update the window treatment. So a full blown reveal will have to wait a little bit, but I was dying to share.
Sunday night I had a massive breakdown due to web design. Ah it’s all so stressful. I’m the kind of person that wants something done yesterday so have this whole process take so long makes me want to pull my hair out. Last night I practically did that while scaring my poor husband with a way ugly cry. Not my proudest moment.
What talked me off the ledge?
Wouldn’t it be amazing if I said Jon bought me a plane! Ah close second he purchased some tickets for a little get-away. We leave this Friday and I get to spend my weekend with TWO bloggers!
How did you spend your weekend?
Any guesses on where I’m going this weekend and who I’m going to see?
Those hats are SO fun! Glad your hubs talked you off the ledge, can't wait to see where you two are headed! I spent the weekend having an extended birthday celebration with my husband-to-be and it was just BLISSFUL!
I'm sorry to hear you are still have issues with your website… my advice is to take just a couple elements you love and leave the rest simple and clean. My website consists of my green burlap background, light blue and dark blue (same as on my blog). And that's it! Simple yet "me". Hope things get better for you. Aren't you working with Front Porch Studio (saw on Twitter). You're in great hands! Good luck!!
Sounds like a great weekend — love both hats! — and what a great gift! I spent the weekend getting my daughter's big girl room ready for her – super fun!

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.
In our new home, the basement was completely unfinished. It was literally one of those dark spaces that you see in horror movies and are terrified of getting locked into. However, with the square footage in this house, I knew I needed to make the basement another workable and liveable floor of the house instead […]
The time has come to finally share our new kitchen reveal. For those of you that have been with us from the beginning, we bought a house right before the pandemic hit. It was a total gut job from top to bottom. We started our demo and then the world shut down. Enter the delays […]
Picking out paint colors for a new home can be overwhelming. I find that many times when I meet with a new client the entire house is simply just painted white or a light gray. Now, I think there is a time and place for those colors, but with paint, there is just so much […]
What to look for when it comes to picking out kitchen appliances: Leave room in your budget for appliances. When it comes to kitchen renovations everyone knows that the cabinetry and the labor of demoing and installing cabinetry is going to eat a lot of your budget. However, the second most expensive part of a […]
I don’t think I’m alone in thinking that designing a kitchen is an overwhelming undertaking. I’m an interior designer and even I find it stressful to iron out all of those details. So, when it comes time to design a kitchen I always like to partner with a kitchen designer to make sure I’m remembering […]
how exciting! i LIVE for peeps!
ME???? I hope so!
p.s. caramelize your peeps over the gas flame on the stove. crispy on the outside and gooey on the inside.
Wow, those are so creative!

Frames look great. Try this website to fill some of the empty ones.

p.s. We'll need to discuss the bathroom – mine is VERY similar to yours, beadboard and all, and I'm struggling with it…
Wow, love the army man hat–you should get a patent on that and sell it.
