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.
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 […]
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!
