At least from this angle it looks like my house is put together. 🙈. Behind me are bins of dishware and food 😭. Our counters were delayed a couple of days (something about a robot breaking during cutting 🙄) But my AMAZING do-it-all contractor assured me he will hustle to finish the trim and tile as soon as it’s in! So we are reaching the end of the road here. Thank goodness. For now I’m enjoying a dust free living room! Also we painted! I finally have all white walls! 🙌🏼. On an unrelated note I know I haven’t been posting much here. The super curated, styled shots can really put the pressure on. So maybe you’ll be seeing a bit more everyday real life around here. Who knows! .

Not the prettiest picture, but man do I love progress shots 🙌🏼. I always thought I’d go with an all white kitchen when the time came for us to gut this place. But I surprised myself and picked the exact opposite. I’m fickle like that. 🤪 The few things I always wanted that I didn’t have a change of heart on are, 1. Brass hardware, 2. White subway tile, and quartz countertops. I always loved the look of floating shelves so I’m so excited to be doing that as well! Very excited to be seeing this all come to fruition! We are sorta at a standstill with big changes from here on out on this kitchen. Appliances won’t be delivered till the end of the month so we can’t do countertop templating till after, and then backsplash till after countertops! Patience isn’t my strong suit but I’m trying 😬. Also my husband has banned me from big house projects for the foreseeable future. He would also like me to stop talking to my friends who have the homereno bug as well 🤣. That means you @lucydino528 and @mama.garbs 🤣😘EDITING TO ADD THAT A HUSBAND AND WIFE DUO STARTED THIS ON APRIL 24th AND DID NOT WORK ON WEEKENDS 😱. #dreamteam

So I bought a plant 🙈. I was pretty much banned from buying plants since when we moved into the house we spent an absurd amount of money on house plants and I basically killed every one 😭. Lately though, I’ve been keeping little ones from Trader Joe’s alive, so when I saw this fiddle leaf at Home Depot for $30 I decided it was time to try again! Wish me luck! 🙈 🌱 🌿

🐆🐆🐆 ❤️. Forever moving furniture around. No one even knows where they can sit now 🤣. .

Was going to wait to post a pic of these babies when I had them properly styled and when I had a minute to break out my real camera and not just the iPhone buuuttttt screw it! I’m obsessed! Typically I err on the safe side with things that are more permanent around my home. I’ll go wild with pillows and paint but when it comes to investing in upholstery and more expensive pieces of furniture I like to pick things that I feel I won’t get sick of. But these beauties might have just made me a risk taker for life. If you’ve been following me for some time these are the same yellow chairs I scored when a neighbor was moving out and just left these on the curb! 😱 They were in decent shape. The frame was great but the fabric was torn in places and very faded. Anyway, I knew I could give them a new life but it took a while for me to decide what to do. I’m so glad I picked this Braemore Jamil leopard. It’s literally giving this place life!! Anyway, long winded way of saying TAKE SOME RISKS it’s worth it! And in the end it’s really just furniture anyway, so who cares! (Swipe to see the before) .

This chair 😍. Remember when I scored these babies via Facebook? (Sidewalk trash is sorta my thing 😏). I literally had no idea where these (I have two) would go. But the caning and the rounded shape was just too good to pass up! Anyway the wood was in great shape, caning also perfect. All it needed was a new cushion covers. What’s great is that both cushions come off the chair. So it’s just a matter of making new ones for seasonal changes or whenever my fickle little heart needs a change. 🙈 swipe to see the before! .
