This past weekend was a bit boring, but also a bit blissful. We didn’t have any commitments! We have been going, going, going so it was nice to slow down for a bit.
We kicked off our weekend with a trip to a nearby fair that was going on. I met a fellow mom at the park a couple of weeks ago and we got along great so we exchanged numbers and decided to go to the fair together. Talk about nerves! Luckily Hudson and her daughter continued to get along famously and played like crazy with no fights! Plus to all of this is that her hubby was pretty much a perfect fit for Jon. They liked all of the same things and everyone had fun!
On Saturday after a rough night with a super cranky Asher I decided to stay in my PJ’s for most of the morning and just relax. Ha! It didn’t happen, because I had promised my mom a bunch of bouquets so I spent the morning with these beauties:
I’m a messy florist so pretty quickly my entire kitchen floor looked like this!
Afterwards I was left with 13 adorable mini bouquets all ready for my mom’s school graduation ceremony!
The rest of the day though was spent like this! It was rainy and gross so it was really the best way to spend the day.
On Sunday Jon had to head out east to pick up a sunfish! One of his co-workers was getting rid of it so Jon made the drive out to the Hamptons to pick up. So now he has a little project to work on with Hudson.
While Jon was out east we stayed in town and I sneaked out to a massage!
Best part about this spa is that it’s right across the street from one of my guilty pleasure shopping haunts called PayHalf. This store can have a lot of cheesy stuff, but you can always find some diamonds in the rough!
Adorable sun hat for $9, but it was too big for my head!
I spent the rest of the day at my parents house enjoying the day and waiting for Jon’s return. Aren’t my parents hydrangeas amazing?! I’m not going to lie I want to head over today with a pair of scissors!
When we got home the excitement of the sailboat was too much for Ash! We had emptied out the pool to clean and re-fill it the day before, but due to the rain it started to fill up again and this kid walked in and decided to splash around.
When everyone got to bed I was able to get some work done and started to pull fabrics for a client’s nursery design. I’m in love with this combo:
Happy Monday! Here is for a short work week! Jon has off on Friday so we are all super excited!
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 […]
Ash’s face next to the sunfish is the BEST thing I’ve ever seen.
Oh my goodness, I love those fabrics you pulled! So pretty. It’s going to be a gorgeous nursery.
The bouquets you did for your mom are stunning!! Seriously, do you do floral arranging professionally too?! Because you should. LOVE those nursery fabrics together!
Beautiful flowers!
Weren’t your kitchen floors green in 2010? How did the Breakthrough paint work? I’m considering painting my floors asap.
Is this white kitchen floor the same floor you painted with Breakthrough Jade in 2010? If so, how did the paint wear? Did you tire of the color and repaint, or did you have to repaint?
That’s the same floor. Photo is just a bit off colorwise. I need to repaint every two years. Should really do it once a year. With kids and a dog it gets scuffed pretty fast. Have tried all sorts of sealers, but nothing really works 100%.
