Hi Everyone,
Hope you had an amazing weekend. I can’t believe that summer is practically over. Having a newborn at the beginning of the summer made the weeks just fly by and I just started to feel like summer had arrived.
We took a little long weekend and headed out east on Wednesday night. It was stressful getting all of my work done and packing everything up to head out that evening, but it was so nice to wake up and be at the beach already.
After getting the whole house at 6 am! (Hope you enjoyed the wake up call Ximena and Steve!) We had some breakfast and headed out to the beach.
Jon drove on with the boys:
I wanted to get a little exercise in so I chose to walk down and back up from the beach.
Jon got in a little snuggle time with Hudson and I got a little one on one time with Ash.
Our beautiful view:
After the beach we headed out Martha Clara Vineyards for the animals that they have on the vineyard.
Hudson had a blast feeding the animals and playing with all the little kids he could find.
With all the extra hands on deck I was able to get more one on one time with Ash, which was amazing.
We finished off our day with my youngest sister, Daniela and her boyfriend, Steve meeting up with us at the house and eating some yummy BBQ.
The next day was started bright and early as well with Hudson as our little alarm clock. Hudson requested animals again so we headed out to Long Island Animal Farmwhere we got to bottle feed a bunch of baby animals.
Hudson’s favorite part was the goat area where he proceeded to become a ranch hand and pick up every goat and put them in their house.
He wasn’t the only one that kept picking up goats. I have at least 10 shots of my sister with different baby goats.
We continued to fed lots of animals, have a picnic and enjoy all 3 of their playgrounds. Hudson was also in love with the baby barn area where he played with a bunch of baby Guinea pigs.
Here is the whole gang at the farm:
After the farm we did a little thrifting and I hit the jackpot in Riverhead.
I fell in love with this sofa, but sadly it was $2,000 so I had to leave it behind.
We headed back home around dinner time and everyone passed out pretty quickly.
We had Sat/Sun back at home and went straight to work. I have two big DIY projects due this week so lots of photos needed to be taken.
Hudson always enjoys when the camera comes out. He loves all of my styling work and is always the first one to walk over and want to pick up a snack or too from whatever I have set up.
Asher got to join in the photo shoot madness too with his wrap:
It was a very filled couple of days and I’m thankful for my sister, Ximena and her boyfriend, Steve’s invitation to head out east. They treated us wonderfully and we really felt like we got to get away. Thanks again!
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 […]
oh that Hudson does get involved and try new things so nicely. Does he shrink back from anything ?? The goats can be so active and those long gangly legs have some interesting hooves on the end of them and he is so in control and calm.
Are your projects something that we will be seeing ?? I would bet you can come up with a DIY that is just as beautiful as that chaise/sofa..
Hudson doesn’t shy away from anything. It’s wonderful, but also scary for me, because he is so daring!
You will be seeing those projects in the future. One is for HGTV and the other is for another site. Not sure when I can spill the deals on that. Waiting to see when I can let everyone in on what I’ve been working on.
Thanks for always being so supportive! xo, C
