Our weekend came a bit early when we got a surprise visit from my sister Ximena on Friday. Not only did she come over to have lunch with us and give the boys lots of kisses, but she bought me an amazing gift. She popped into a C.Wonder sample sale and picked up a lucite P for me!
After her visit Hudson and I did a little baking. He has loved helping me in the kitchen lately and baking cookies is one of his favorite things to do.
Saturday was one of the first weekends in while where we had nothing to do. We started to look for a fall activity to do, but once I realized how many activities around town we needed to do like the post office, ups, some returns at various shops I knew it was best to get it done all together.
Asher didn’t agree and screamed for most of our outings. He hates the car so having to stop at some many places was not appealing to him.
Most of our stops were pretty boring, but we did find a couple of gems while we were out like these art deco inspired notebooks for $1.50 at Michaels. I picked one up for Hudson. He loves to draw all over my notebooks so I knew he would love it.
The rest of our day was spent at home while I started to get into the Christmas spirit and work on a holiday style challenge for Home Depot.
For the challenge you get assigned a room, but I got a wild card, which meant I could pick whatever room I wanted. You shall see what I picked in a couple of weeks.
On Sunday we all got to sleep in a little bit. This little guy recently discovered how to roll over and he is now becoming a pro and flipping onto his belly.
After we got ready for the day we headed over to my parents house to drop off a chair I re-vamped for my mom’s office and take some photos. Full reveal will come in a couple of days.
Then we headed over to Jon’s parents house and I dropped a painting I worked on for their guest room. Need to take full reveal shots here as well, but we are not totally finished yet.
We then headed over to Oyster Bay/Bayville for two open houses. We hit a ton of traffic due to Oyster Fest, a big seaside festival. Both houses were a bust, but one did have a unique wall divider in the backyard made out of buoys that I loved.
We then headed back home and headed our favorite pizza joint, Frantonis and tried out some more of their specialty slices.
We finished off the weekend with a visit from my sister Daniela and her boyfriend Steve and a trip to the playground so that Hudson could play with them. He did not want to play with his momma at all, but was more than happy to run around and go down the slides with Daniela and Steve. So, I hung out with these two guys.
A perfect end to the weekend. 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 […]
I love the painting in the picture with the lucite letter. Would you mind sharing the artist?
Hi Chelsey,
I’m the artist! I run an etsy shop with Jon and it’s one of our paintings. Typically we work on the paintings together, but I did this one on my own.
