This weekend was full of nothingness and not fun nothings, but nothings like having a mile long to-do list that we had to tackle over the weekend and not just relaxing at home.
We tackled some cleaning:
{Don’t worry this wasn’t turned on.}
I prepared some business cards for a networking event I have to go to this week.
I did a little client work. Loving this fabric scheme:
I also finalized some fabric picks for our basement:
I found the perfect Hollywood regency style lamp at a thrift shop. It has a couple of nicks in the finish so I will need to paint it. What colors shall I pick?
Target has the cutest office supplies in their dollar spot section. Picked up some goodies for myself during one of my errands.
My kitchen got a dose of pretty as well when I spied these set of 2 Turkish dish towels for $5 at Century21!
Gap Factory was hosting a crazy sale so I went to pick up some stuff for the boys and might have paused a bit in the women’s section and got some goodies myself like shoes on sale for $12.99!
I also picked up some dye to work on a DIY project I’ve been itching to try for the longest time. Any ideas?
When we were home after knocking out our to do list we were doing a lot of playing in the man den/playroom. As quickly as I clean it up they do this to do it. My eyes!
Best part of the weekend? Warmer temps and a little peek that perhaps Winter is on it’s way out!
Give us the goods on the basement fabric!!!! I swear, you should do the mix and match professionally for someone like Anthropologie…..you have got it girl.
Also, let us know ASAP about the rug dye. I tried it and didn’t get the contrast I wanted because although I tried to bleach it, and because it is 100%wool I should have used special chemicals but I didn’t want to buy/use them. I always think it is worth it to try something. If it doesn’t work out I move on to the next thing. PS-Don’t let anyone trick you about the concrete countertops…. I just did a desk and it is a LOT of work with a LOT of dust. Thanks for a fun post.

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. 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 […]
