Friday Randoms

Catching you up on life's happenings lately.....

I've had this gold mirror for several years and I'm shocked I haven't painted it sooner.

I had 2 yards of burlap left over from Audrey's party so I painted a Valentine's banner.

After: really lightens up the entry, don't ya think?

Celebrating my best friends husbands birthday at Blue Sage Studio where we watched the artists create a hand blown bowl that Sam got to take home. Such an awesome idea for a party. Pretty sure that's where we'll be celebrating mine this year.

Happy Birthday Sam!!

Enjoying some time out on the patio with Rachel, Colin and their new puppy Bandit . The girls loved him and we certainly enjoyed spending a day with them!

Dinner @ Pranzo

All dolled up and ready for school

We took an art lesson in Dallas and this is Conor's abstract. He's a Pro!

Making Valentine's boxes for school.

After my Grandmother passed away in 2010, I inherited her china cabinet that I've loved ever since I was little plus a bunch of her serving ware and dishes that she had stored in it. I'm very honored to have these items of hers and can't wait to organize over the weekend and get everything set up.

This is what her china cabinet looked like before.

And here it is after. I finally completed it late last night and I'm soooo proud of her! Isn't she a beaut!! I popped off the back and painted Permission Pink (coral) with a chevron stencil that I printed off of Pinterest and made my own stencil. After seeing this piece, I knew instantly this was my inspiration. The lines aren't perfect, but honestly it doesn't bother me. Spray painted the pulls and knobs with metallic spray paint and sanded the fire out of her. Added a little touch of turquoise and coral on the detailed curves on the hutch and after 2 months she is finally sitting pretty in my living room. I haven't decided if it will go in the dining or not. I kinda like it where it's at for now. But I love playing musical chairs with my furniture and accessories, so who knows.

Enjoy your weekend.

It's the girls and I all weekend while Conor and Sam head to Denver for a concert. Dinner tonight with some friends at Ludivine, organizing my cabinet with dishes and platters, finishing the Valentines boxes and addressing Valentines cards, neighborhood Valentine's social on Saturday, Affair of the Heart shopping all weekend, and painting some canvas' after the girls hop off to bed.

Busy busy but lovely!! :)
