Currently Craving: Pastels

The cold and dreary weather in NY has me craving for poppy spring time pastels. That mint Rebecca Minkoff bag is of top priority this spring!

Morning coffee spot! But I always wind up with a toddler on my lap, and another standing in the opposite chair giving me a mini heart attack. 🤣❤️

The power of paint really amazes me. Swipe to see what it looked like when we moved in! 😱

⚠️ WARNING LONG POST AHEAD! But if you like DIY then read on! These are my new kitchen floors! But shhhh 🤫 they aren’t really new. 🙈 They are the same old ugly beige builder grade tile that we were so lucky to already have in there when we moved into this home. I just painted them! (Then sealed them of course!) There are TONS of tips and tricks on this diy peppered all over the internet (so go search on!) Although, the internet gods lied a bit. 1. There is NO way to get clean lines. No matter what you do. Unless of course you’re like a professional stenciler or something. And if you tell me you’ve done stencil with 💯 clean lines. I will call you a liar and say we can’t be friends 🙅🏽‍♀️(jk of course) BUT the whole no clean line bit is fine! Cause you know what, who wants clean lines anyway. 🤷🏽‍♀️ That whole hand done, hand painted, unique and filled with character look is waaayyy better. So I’m gonna tell you, if you wanna tackle this project throw caution to the wind embrace the wobbly lines and full on smudges and go for it! But you MUST white wash! That’s the icing on the hand painted tile cake right there. Grab some bunched up paper towel and blot your way to aged perfection in no time at all! I will do my best to put together my own tips on my blog. I did things way differently than anyone else said to. But that’s because I’m super impatient but it all worked out perfectly! Swipe through to see my progress pics and also some inspo tile that is just 🙌🏼. .

The husband needed more shoe storage. Cause I 100% occupy the giant room of a closet upstairs. I told him I’d find a spot for some shoes. But I’m not sure he realized that meant I still wasn’t sharing the closet/room. 🤣🙈. So I used up some old paint for this shoe cabinet, and added new hardware. So much better than the basic white. To be honest this thing is flimsy. The ikea version is so much more solid, but that one didn’t fit my space. This is anchored to the wall so it should hold up ok! Also I used a paint sprayer for the first time on this project and it was a game changer!!! .

Nothing Pinterest-y about these eggs. Just a regular old box of pas dye and happy toddlers. Lots of cracks and spills. But I think they are beautiful 💗💚💜💛💙🧡 .
