Happy Friday lovelies! Has this week gone by super fast for anyone else? Has this week been filled with above 60 degree temps every day for anyone else? Loving it! I'm linking up with the usual gang (Christina, April, Darci & Natasha) for a bit of a random Friday 5. Hope everyone has a fabulous weekend!
This is random (since I do not have children) but this is incredible! Have ya'll heard of http://www.infantswim.com/ ? Children from 6 months to 6 years of age learn how to use Infant Swimming Resource’s Self-Rescue skills to save themselves in dangerous situations! Sounds hard to believe? Watch the video! When my sister posted it I was like "Wow! Go babies!"
We have picked out are absolute fav inspirations photos for our future kitchen in the new home! We are going with a steel/blue-grey painted cabinet and light counter-tops (we have black granite and light cabinets now so it'll be a nice change of scenery)
With the above stated, we are currently trying to decide between Carerra Marble or a Granite look-a-like. What do ya'll think? Anyone have experience with either? (I know granite is tougher but with the right sealant Carerra can be good too)

| Both are attractive! (marble left kashmir white granite right) |
I saw this swimsuit from Anthropologie and instantly fell in love!
That swimsuit matches my china pattern, blue willow obsession and even my number tabs today doesn't it? #BlueObsessed

| The built-in china cabinet in the new home is brown...hmmm contemplating a paint job but not sure.... |
Love your design for your new kitchen - it will be gorgeous!!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you!!
DeleteStopping by from the link up and loving your kitchen ideas! We are house hunting so I'm loving all the inspiration I can get. Good luck with everything!
ReplyDeleteIt's so so fun!!
DeleteThose kitchens are gorgeous! Great inspiration!
ReplyDeleteThank you!!
DeleteSo I was going to comment on how you had coordinated everything so beautifully, but then you did! (I LOVE blue, too). That kitchen will be gorgeous, by the way!
ReplyDeleteThank you! A little blue obsessed for sure haha
DeleteI love the kitchen inspiration -It's going to be beautiful!!! I've seen those baby swim videos and it scares me every time!! Hope you have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteThanks girl!!
DeleteKeep the house updates coming!! So much fun!!! And...for sure paint that built in!!! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking the same! It's just none of the tiger oak woodwork has been touched since 1850 so I'm torn! haha (but man I love a good blue on white)
DeleteLove love love those kitchen inspirations :)
ReplyDeleteNeed that swim suit! So cute! And I looove your kitchen inspiration pictures. We have dark granite in our apartment and I'm not a huge fan. Whenever we move into a new place, I can't wait for some light counter tops!
ReplyDeleteI like our dark granite but it shows more crumbs, etc! Lighter will be a nice change! :)
DeleteI love the color of the kitchen cabinets! We've got darker counter-tops right now and it just makes my kitchen feel so small.
ReplyDeleteI was iffy on the cabinet color at first (honey picked it) but the more I look at examples the more I love it! Thanks!
DeleteHey Jessi- happy Friday!
ReplyDeleteI've seen the infant swimming video before and half of me is like yeah! go babies! The other part of me just wants to shake the adult that kept pushing the baby under (it was a different video). If I ever have a pool with a little one, it would be fenced off, no questions. I wouldn't want to risk the chance that my child could get into the water, EVEN IF they had been trained to roll over and float.
I also love your kitchen ideas - I posted some of my favorite kitchen must-haves today over at my blog. Personally, I love the marble. My mom has marble counter tops and though I've always heard they are easier to stain, she's never had a problem with them. I think the swirls in the marble would look great with your gray cabinetry!
Have a great weekend and I can't wait to hear more about the house!

Thank you for the suggestion! I really like the marble as well! I agree about the fence thing but it was neat to see them trained to swim at such an early age! Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteOkay, I'm LOVING your Five today (like every other week)! I'm swooning over those kitchen photos and I sure hope you share the finished product! I don't think you could wrong with either counter top- gorgeous! And I'm obsessed with everything Anthro makes and sells, and that suit is no exception. Love it, and love that it matches your china! Have a lovely Friday and weekend dear! xo
ReplyDeleteThanks Khala! Your comments always make my day! (we have 2 weeks from today until closing so I can't wait to dive in and of course share the entire process) haha :)
DeleteLove what you've picked for your new kitchen, it's going to be gorgeous! And that Anthro bikini is adorable. Happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much!! :)
DeleteLove love love that bathing suit!! Super cute!!
ReplyDeletelonging for summer!!
DeleteLoving your kitchen inspiration photos!! It'll look fabulous, no doubt! ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks Brenda! :)
DeleteOooh I love that Carerra marble!! Good luck with your kitchen reno! Have a great weekend Jessi.
ReplyDeleteI'm leaning towards the Carerra too, Thanks Brittany!
DeleteI love that bathing suit! I have so many dream kitchen pinned....one day.... :-)
ReplyDeletehaha and you'll have to share! :)
DeleteThat Anthropologie swimsuit is SO pretty. I love that pattern! I hope you bought it :)
ReplyDeleteI also love all of your kitchen inspiration photos...can't wait to see the final result!
Thanks Kasey!!
DeleteI am a fan of the carrera marble however I know you have to be careful with it. Stuff like lime juice eat away at it. Can't wait to see what you dream up!
ReplyDeleteYea that's the only downfall and possible staining- but with the right seal I'm hoping we might be able to pull it off (however we don't have kids yet so we should take that into consideration too haha)
DeleteThe swimsuit is so fabulous! I think it needs to be added to the must have list
ReplyDeleteright?! :)
DeleteVisiting from the link up. Love love love the kitchen inspiration pictures! I am dying for Carrera marble someday so that is my vote! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Chrissy!!

ReplyDeleteThanks!! We're so excited! !
DeleteOh! That kitchen is just beautiful. And my vote is for the marble. Can't wait to see it when you are finished!
ReplyDeleteThanks!!
DeleteYour kitchen is going to be out of this world. It will be so beautiful. I have never really seen those colors before, but I love it. Looks like someone likes the color blue, ha! We have had beautiful weather here in Charlotte, NC too and I am cherishing it. I hope you have a great weekend babe, xo!
ReplyDeleteThanks love! Yea not so warm this week so that sucks! (yes- A little obsessed with blue for some reason haha)
DeleteYes this week flew by! But no, I didn’t have those nice temps you speak of and I’m very jealous! ;) Those are some beautiful kitchens! Can’t wait to see how it turns out! That is too funny that bathing suit matches your china! But it’s perfect! Have a great weekend! :)
