Another summer weekend has come and gone. So sad that they are quickly disappearing. I feel like summer just started!
The weekend was exhausting! I didn’t have concrete plans for Saturday, but I was hoping to do something fun. We had to work on a project for an HGTV article we are working on, but it was suppose to only take 30 mins or so. Famous last words in this household because while Jon was digging up a hole in the backyard he cut into our sprinkler line!
{No Bueno!}
So, the rest of the day was spent with Jon fixing that oops and me wrangling the kids and taking care of some projects in the house like this massive amount of laundry.
I also played around a bit with our outdoor set up and laid out a new rug I got for Hudson’s little picnic table section.
I also added some new lanterns that I picked up at Target for the dining area. The outdoor section in Target is teeny tiny now because of back to school, but if you need some goodies these babies were 30% off!
The only thing that kept me cool outside during the heat was this misting fan. We have had it since last year but this was the first weekend using it and it was delightful.
Overall it was just a hectic day due to our little project snag. Luckily Jon was able to fix the issue and on Sunday we were able to have a little fun and attend a birthday party the boys were invited too and then headed out to the beach!
I can’t believe this little man turns 3 months old today!
Hudson was with us too, but you wouldn’t know by the pictures. He found a group of kids the second we got there and spent the entire time running around like a crazy boy and not wanting to stop at all for pictures.
And holding hands with a leggy brunette 8 year old. Oh boy I’m in trouble!

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.

However, the second most expensive part of a […]

So, when it comes time to design a kitchen I always like to partner with a kitchen designer to make sure I’m remembering […]
