Hi All,
We were lucky enough to have a wonderful weekend weather wise. I was able to go out without a coat all weekend! With Spring in the air and being in my third trimester had me in complete clean up and nesting mode! All of this means the weekend was spent with multiple trips to Home Depot and lots of hard work.
I got to start the weekend off by taking my new elephant TOMS. They were a Christmas gift and I’ve been itching to show off my little Ellies.
Once we were all dressed and ready we headed out to Home Depot:
We all got a nice treat when we walked in and were told a kids event was being hosted that day. Off we went to check it out and discovered a whole bunch of kids working away on bird feeders. Hudson and Jon got to work right away.
Once it was all built we got to go to the painting station and make it bright and colorful:
It was a really fun experience and we all enjoyed it. Hudson had a blast and came home with a finished bird feeder, cute Home Depot apron and a pin that showcased the project he finished.
When we got home we got work cleaning up outside:
I then cleaned up and organized my office:
Of course we also had a little fun and did some bouncing on our newly cleaned deck all prepped for stain:
On Sunday my nesting mode was still on high so, I took advantage of all of the energy and cleaned my white kitchen from top to bottom. Having a mostly all white kitchen is lovely, but it’s also a pain, because there is no hiding dirt. Everything shows and with two dogs and a toddler it was a mess. I spent hours in there cleaning every single surface.
While I did that Jon continued to work on our deck project:
During Hudson’s nap time I kept chugging along and enjoyed my newly cleaned and organized office and did a little work and enjoyed the sunshine.
Of course once Hudson woke up from his nap, my office became his office:
The day continued and Jon kept up with the deck outside and I kept up organizing all of my painting supplies, craft supplies and fabric closet. By the end of the day all I wanted to do was make some room on this doggy bed and get in a little rest.
Whew! What an exhausting weekend, but so happy to have the deck all stained and lots organized and cleaned inside the house.
Hope you all had a more restful weekend than we did.
Happy Monday!
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 […]
