Hi there. All good here. The baby count down has officially begun with only 3 weeks, 2 days left. Considering I already have 2 little guys, you would think this should be a piece of cake for me. Nope. Not. At. All. The panic is starting to set in because I feel like I haven't been in baby mode in so long. Will I be fine? I'm sure I will be, but stiiiiiiiilllll. Time to get my game face on. So, while I am still walking around (barely) and not in the midst of sleep deprivation and diapers, I shall post a few updates that I have neglectfully forgotten to share. So a while ago, I was dealing with a conundrum. I was trying to recreate the lounge/sun room off our kitchen area, but with a more contemporary feel. Read { here } to refresh your memory. The sun room while the previous owners lived in our house: When we first moved in it looked like this (omg Hayden looks so little here): Then we graduated to this: and for a ...

Hi hi. I'm am still basking in my vacation glow. If only the weather would really start to cooperate so that my transition from vacation to reality would be much easier. I'm catching up on old posts.  As you may remember, my sister is preggers and I'm going to be an aunty! My mom and I threw her baby shower at my house. Since my sister isn't going to find out if she is having a boy or a girl, the color theme for the party was pink, blue and a touch of silver. Here's what the foyer looked like: I got this local balloon guy, Jonathan , to make these cute little flower balloons (can't wait to move my seriously comfy, but very bulky couch upstairs to the play room and get a sofa upgrade in this room, but that will not be happening for a while): Said balloon guy, Jonathan, also made this lovely balloon arch over the buffet area (I was reliving my bat and bar mitzvah days). Yes, I need a real buffet and ye...

I'm loving the fact that we have had absolutely nothing planned the last few weekends.  No meetings with contractors, no running to pick out bathroom fixtures or counter tops, no picking up a million supplies from Home Depot, no kiddo birthday parties.   I could get used to this. lol Because we are so used to having every moment of our weekends allocated to house renovations, we have a tendency to walk around the house saying, "soooo what do we need to do here?" There are definitely a few big projects left to do like trying to figure out what to do with this counter top where our washer and dryer are housed.  We might do a different counter top than the one on the main island to mix things up a bit. I had been looking for a runner for the area above and for a rug near the sink. I think the one I found on One Kings Lane  looks really pretty in the space (but I might be slightly biased).   I love that it is chevron and I lo...
