WEEKLY WRAP-UP

It's been such a relaxing weekend. Jon and I have had several friends stay with us throughout the last couple days, so it's been filled with movie watching, picnicking, walks, long talks, and sleeping in.

This week will be my last week working alone full-time for Maiedae. Jenny is coming on board full-time after this week and I cannot wait!! We are kicking off everything with a work retreat in Savannah, Georgia. It's bound to be filled with delicious meals, lots of brainstorming, and some great friend time. :)

Snapshot(s) of the Week: 1// Working on picking out a new pair of frames. I think I've finally narrowed it down! 2// These sandals are ridiculously cute. Thanks Target. 3// Working on personalizing our home with photos. So happy to have framed one of my favorites from our wedding day. 4// Delicious food from this weekend at the food truck park. Perfect weather and great friends!

PROJECT CONDO: CURTAINS!

For the past couple months we've been keeping our living room shielded from outside viewers with mix-matched bedsheets. Although they certainly served their purpose, the fitted black bed sheet and white floral sheet had to go. You can see a couple shots of the living room with said sheets for curtains here. ;)

About a week ago I was perusing the UO site and came across a beautifully patterned pair of curtains on clearance sale. I happened to be sitting in my living room at the time, so I did a little look-see around the room to see if it would go and if they would flow well with the dining room. I ended up buying them, they came in the mail a couple days ago and Jon helped me hang them up. I am blown away at what a difference a few panels of curtains can make to a room. I initially wouldn't go for such a bold patterned curtain, but I love the neutral coloring and this particular pattern design.

It ended up becoming a great statement piece for the room and one of the first things you see when you walk into the front door. (The door in the picture leads our to our back patio, the front door is down a long hallway opposite the fireplace) We bought them super long and hung them as high as possible to give the room a lot of visual height. I'm so excited about this mini progress! I've got some more decorating brewing for the living room that I can't wait to share soon. :) 

Happy weekend!!

FANCY SHMANCY: SPRING WISHLIST

1// Flippy Dress - I've been loving the look of a fit and flair dress lately. I'd like to get a small collection to wear this Spring. This pattern is beautiful and would look so great with a pair of colorful shoes and some of my favorite gold jewelry. So ready to start dressing warmer.

2// Rope Hammock Chair - Jon and I have a little porch upstairs that leads out from our bedroom. We've talked about getting a Hammock or swinging chair to put out there to enjoy the sunshine and rest. Now I can't stop thinking about getting one. :)

3// Ipsy Glam Bag - You've heard me talk about Popsugar and I can't wait to get my next box this month! But I'm also excited to start a new subscription service with Ipsy. Ipsy is a $10 per month beauty subscription service that includes premium sized samples of great beauty products. You fill out a mini questionnaire and they put together a custom package for you each month, usually worth $50-$60. I'm really looking forward to trying out some new products!

4// Dainty Rings - I've been collecting gold dainty rings lately and I love the unique shape of this one from Stone & Honey.

5// Moon Nightlight - It's always nice to have a nightlight lighting up dark halls. Why not make it a moon light? I love how this looks and think it would be so pretty in our upstairs hallway.

6// Striped Bow Flats - I love an oversized bow on pointy flats. This is the perfect "mixing patterns" pair of shoes that would look great with so many pieces.

7// Kors Gold Watch - I've been eyeing this beauty for a couple months now. Jenny and I are going to New York in June for the Alt Summit conference and I'm thinking about saving all of my birthday money to buy one there. I tried it on at a store a couple weeks ago and loved how it looked, especially with all that sparkly bling. :)

8// Warby Parker Glasses - It's about time I update my prescription glasses. I'm currently in the process of trying on a few pairs to pick out new ones. Looking forward to seeing better. ;)

9// Modkat Litter Box - I love how attractive and modern these kitty litter boxes are. Our current one is huge, bulky and hard to hide. I like how if these are seen it's not a complete eye/nose assault.

10// Modern Chair - I'm thinking a pair of these for our living room might be the perfect pop of color that we need! I love the shape, legs, and color of these chairs. I'm especially a fan of the sale price. ;)

What's on your spring wishlist?
