HOW-TO-MAKE-AN-EASY-DIY-OUTDOOR-MOVIE-SCREEN-WITH-STAND

Fall is the perfect season to host an outdoor movie night in your backyard! It’s that time of year when outdoor furniture is still outside and it gets dark earlier than the summer which means your little kiddos can enjoy the movie night as well. It’s so nice to transform your backyard with cozy blankets, […]

round up of budget friendly bar carts

Can you believe it’s already November? Before we know it Thanks No. 1 Modern bar cart with patterned sides that looks great as is, but would also look amazing painted a pop of color! Plus it’s only $157. No. 2 This lucite bar cart is a personal favorite of mine. Look at those chic lines! […]

For the longest time our backyard was mainly just grass and a little small area where we laid down some pavers so that we could set out a little plastic table/chairs during the summer. Not exactly ideal for entertaining. For the past couple of years we have wanted to build a deck and enjoy the […]

This weekend we had zero plans so on Friday I decided that one of our activities for the weekend had to be going to Silly Lily Marina in East Moriches. It was about a 45 min drive from where I live and a little bit before you hit the Hamptons. It use to just be […]

Happily Wander Upon: SILLY LILY MARINA

I need to let you in a little secret! Jon despises mostly everything on Bravo. The Housewives? He just doesn’t get why I watch. Why are they so mean to each other, blah, blah, blah. The Andy Cohen show? Nope. We would rather just go to sleep then sit thru it. I, on the other […]

I don’t normally shop at Neiman Marcus, but I do enjoy a trip to their cafe! Have you ever been? It’s literally one of my happy places! They give you popovers with strawberry butter when you sit down and it’s pure heaven! While Neiman Marcus items aren’t normally in my budget I do love finding […]

Treat Yo Self: H&M Finds!

h&m home finds

Swoon! I’m sure if you ask Jon he will be the first to declare that I have a problem with pillows! I like to collect them when I find the perfect fabric, the perfect detail, the perfect texture and then rotate them in my home. I don’t do massive re-decorating during the different seasons, but […]

All Things Lemon Round Up

This weekend was dreary and gray and full of rain, rain and rain. It had me daydreaming about getting a way for a little Winter or Spring escape somewhere warm and sunny! Last week I ordered bathing suits just in case a perfect trip did arise! Currently there is no trip on the horizon, but […]

ON THE BLOG

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.
