Weekend Recap

Monday, April 21, 2014
Well we're back to Monday already folks and that means another weekend bites the dust. Hopefully everyone had a great Easter with family or friends! This weekend, in between spending time with family, we were still able to get some stuff done on the house! (Duh- like hubby would have it any other way) On Thursday, our counter tops got set to a template and drawn out and on Friday we went in to pick out the slab and where it was to be cut in relation to the template. While there we also picked out a slab of black granite with white swirls for the master closet island- completely opposite of the white waves counter tops for the kitchen! They are being delivered Thursday and I seriously cannot wait! Also, appliances were delivered on Saturday....it's becoming a real kitchen ya'll! The floors still need a couple coats of sealant but we are pushing that out a couple weeks so that we can paint, move things around, etc. Anyway, without further ado- the weekend in photos:





Had to position cabinets for template!

Appliances? Check!


Beadboard for kitchen bath cut!

Ready for ceramic tiles in the laundry room!

Conquering the chandelier process


TADA! (again, don't look at the paneling haha)

Hubby picked this out!

Love the shapes on the walls it makes!





Here we had two huge metal blocks that I'm guessing used to be part of a carport. In any case, they were dangerous and begging me to run over them or into them. (haha) We got some awesome neighborhood help taking them out sledgehammer style! haha (brews in hand) Thanks PJ & Adam! Driveway project to come later...

Friday 5

Friday, April 18, 2014
Happy Friday and happy weekend folks! 
Linking up with Christina & April for this week's Friday 5

(ps this is my 100 post!)







Finally watched Frozen ya'll! (don't mind the work zone)












Scored this pretty planter for 3 bucks at a local thrift store!





Found these guys! With a little sanding/stain, they'll be perfect!






Look at these beauties!!! These were my Grandma & Grandpa's wicker chairs on their back porch and my Mom & aunt gave them to me! I am over the moon excited about adding them to our front porch when it is completed!






A little spray paint coat and new cushions and they will be good as new!!




And this drop-leaf table was my great grandmothers and grandpa told us she use to knead bread in the kitchen on this!





Stay tuned next week for more antique store finds!!

Easter Ideas

Wednesday, April 16, 2014
I can't believe this weekend is Easter. I adore this time of year- definitely a Spring/Fall kinda gal and for that reason I wanted to share some cute Easter ideas I've been swooning over. We usually do Easter Sunday with Seth's parents but this year I may have to go down to our house on the bay because the church is doing their Easter sunrise service on the beach this year! (They usually wait to start holding church on the beach until Memorial Day I believe) What are some Easter traditions and/or recipes you love? Any good kid-friendly ones? Have a great Wednesday ya'll!



The Bunny-tini from Dixie Delights (love this! mocktail version too mamas!)










Lilly painted eggs? SO cute to put in display bowl, etc.

Today I wanted to give a shout out to all the ladies out there! Sorry men folk, this one's for the girls! Power to the Woman!

I'm sort of bummed it's Monday- stuck in an office all day, already missin' the gorgeous weather and really tired with itchy pollen eyes! Ugh! The weekend however was beautiful and we got a little more done on the house. This post will be a little picture heavy but here are some of the things that went on around these parts over the weekend. Hope everyone has a fabulous week!

Kitchen floor is in and ready to be finished this week!

Had enough for the kitchen bath! (originally we were going to tile it)










Picked out ceramic tile for the laundry room- kind of regal looking no? haha SLIPPERY looking....

It'll be great once the walls are painted pale gray!

Bye Bye vinyl (still have to put down cement board first- just playing with patterns)


Roof is repaired and yucky stuff all ripped down- ready for new metal this week!

Master closet ceiling painted and wallpaper removed to find..PANELING, YUCK!

Added some liquid gold cleaner to the ole' table and I love him!
