Hi All,
Hope you had a lovely weekend. Here is a little round up of what we up to this weekend. It’s not the prettiest of moodboards, but since I was good at snapping iphone pics this weekend it will do the job.
No. 1: Went to WW and got my lifetime membership! I’m below my starting weight when I got pregnant with Hudson and I’ve been able to maintain it for 6 weeks including the madness of the holidays during which I never once said no to a cookie. 🙂 Perhaps I’ll be rocking this bikini this summer. Probably not since the only time I’ve ever worn a bikini was when I was itty bitty and my mom put me in one.
No. 2: I decided to hit the ground running in 2013 with wrapping up all of these pending home projects I haven’t been able to cross off my list. We already re-painted the kitchen floor and next up on the list was repainting our bedroom. You see when I first painted our master bedroom I was a newly wed and in a totally romantic mood and decided to layer my base coat of Ashley Grey by Benjamin Moore with Candlelight paint from Ralph Lauren. It was pretty and shimmery, but every time I try and snap a picture of my room it looks crazy!!! See attached pic. It was driving me mad especially when I wallpapered one of the walls in the room. Of course other projects took priority so we never got around it. Well on Saturday right after WW we finally primed and painted the room and by the end of the day we were back in the room with everything put back together. Yay! Can’t wait to share pictures!
No. 3: Fun little tidbit that I got an email about this weekend was that when you take the Homegoods Stylescope quiz my blog comes up as an example of Sassy! Luckily I took the quiz myself and I actually got Sassy with a touch of boho, which I think is actually pretty true.
No. 4: After all that painting I was pretty spent so it was exciting to realize that my TV had free on demand Lifetime Movie Network movies. Lifetime movies are such a guilty pleasure for me that it was super exciting to pick out one or two movies to watch this weekend.
No. 5: Popped into a new to me goodwill store and picked up this cute faux croc green ice bucket! I hope Roxy approves of it. Now I just need a bar cart.
No. 6: Saw via twitter that my friend Sarah from Note to Self started a Print Shop!I love her design style and I’m already smitten!
What were you up to this weekend?
*P.S. Thanks for all of this comments on my getting to know you post. I had a great time reading everyone’s comments and responded to all of them. It was fun seeing all of the similarities we had.
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 […]
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 […]
Free LMN movies on demand??? What?! Totally looking for this on my tv. Love a good cheesy lifetime movie!
I just found your blog about a month ago because of the stylescope quiz. I’m a sassy decorator too!
Can’t wait to see the finished walls. I feel like our list of home to-do’s is out of control, and we’re also trying to get our act together and finish some of them!
You got a lot accomplished! I always feel like my weekends go by in a flash. Love that ice bucket- great find!
Amazing – and I LOVE that bikini!
