Happy Halloween everyone! I totally feel like it’s a 3 day weekend around here, because Jon is going to get out of work a little early so that we can all go trick or treating together!
The Halloween fun started a bit early around this parts, because we attended a Not so scary monster bash on Saturday!!
How cute are my Optimus Primes? I can’t handle them. Originally Hudson wanted to be Iron Man and Asher wanted to be Spiderman, but when push came to shove Hudson decided on Optimus Prime and then mini me decided he wanted to be the same. I figured Hudson would get annoyed, but he actually loved it. So sweet.
Halloween party we attended complete with a monster coloring wall, DJ, photo booth and lots of spooky treats!
I wore my sequin leggings and one of Jon’s Batman’s shirts to get a little festive!
After the Halloween party I took these sparkly legs to the beach and swapped out my flats for rain boots in order to search for crabs. Guys, I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I actually love going. Basically you go to the beach during low tide and flip over rocks and search for crabs. The crabs we look for are actually an invasive species so, we are doing our part to help the environment and Jon gets bait for fishing.
Plus since we were nearby to Diane’s bakery in Roslyn I want sure to pop in for a cookie or 2! How can you say no to this bakery case?
Such a fun day! I spent the rest of the day prepping for a photo shoot and then a big chunk of Sunday was spent shooting.
In the afternoon we had some free time and ran out to pick up some pumpkins to carve.
I’m not going to lie, Jon did all of the carving and I was there for emotional support. He did an Optimus Prime for Hudson and a spooky Jack O Lantern for himself:
I got an effortless style elephant and Asher got…..an Optimus Prime!
It was a really fun activity. We turned off all of the lights in the living room and lite them and played Halloween songs while we watched them glow. The boys thought it was like going to the movies. What can I say they are a cheap date. Haha!

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 […]
Where did you get the sparkly pants? Thanks.
