Hope you had a wonderful week. Ours was full of work, work, work and I’m happy that we have a short week ahead of us.
We started off our weekend getting this little man his first pair of real shoes:
{I couldn’t get him to stay still for a photo. He kept running around the Nordstrom shoe department. }
We continued our swim class this week and Hudson is like a little fish in the water. He loves it!
After the swim class we did some more thrifting. We needed to pick up more items for our One Kings Lane shop (We are hoping to open it in the next couple of weeks.)
{Our little walker was testing out his new kicks everywhere we went.}
We didn’t come home with the dresser Hudson was checking out, but we did come home with this dining set.
{ So in love with it. Any suggestions for new upholstery fabric?}
We then headed home and got a bunch of pieces ready to be revamped.
After everything was primed we headed out to Home Depot to pick out new paint colors. I’ve never used Glidden before, but I must say I was impressed with all of their color choices. I think I grabbed a swatch of each one.
We ended our very Saturday by going out to dinner to celebrate my MIL’s birthday. Happy Birthday Rita!
{My hair is driving me nuts in this picture, but how could I not share it. How cute does Hudson look?!}
Sunday we started our day out with homemade waffles.
They were circus themed and I made sure to snag only the elephants.
After breakfast it was back to work.
We painted the town red:
And minty green:
And then emerald green:
We also manged to paint another couple of pieces too.
The day finally ended in bed where we finally caught up on all 7 seasons of Dexter and were able to watch the new episode.
Whew. I’m tired. What were you up to this weekend?
Hi there, I think your blog is so great, tons of inspiration! Love those chairs from the dining set! I found some really similar ones and redid them in a leopard velvet and they came out looking killer!! I wanted to do a solid color velvet but paranoia over future stains made me decide to go with a print.

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 […]
You have the cutest little boy I have ever seen. Die over him. Love all of your furniture picks and paints. Can’t wait for your shop to open!!
Those elephant pancakes are just adorable… as is your little cutie in his new shoes! xo
Can’t wait to see the final pieces after paint. Which thrift store is that? Seems like they have a lot of furniture.
Love the new table and chairs! How about something in navy to contrast with the brass? Looks like you have some great projects!
Hudson is such a doll with that scarf on and his sweet smile!
Hudson is getting so big!! Can’t wait to see your shop! Love all the colors!
all that furniture is awesome!!!
I’m seriously jealous of your big backyard to paint in- AND that bamboo desk- I need that in my life!
Oh and those elephant waffles look amazing- I’m craving some maple syrup now 🙂
Love the color of those chairs.
IN LOVE with your new dining set. What a fab find!! And I am addicted to Dexter, too!
