A Few Things- Let's Grab Up!


Alright friends...  I know my posting has been sooooo sporadic, but Summer is over too a "normal" routine is returning, thus I'm committing to to a greater extent than regular posting again!  The past times iv months accept been abnormally busy for us too nosotros were gone a skillful create out of the Summer.  I'm no skillful at balancing "real life" too the spider web log when things larn genuinely busy.  I tried to go past times away on everyone inward the loop on what was happening over on Instagram, but I know I'm desperately behind hither for those of yous who powerfulness non follow there.  So, I create accept lots of things that happened over the Summer that I excogitation to portion amongst you, but for at nowadays I'll only choose grip of yous upwards on big things from the past times few weeks, too we'll larn from there!

First up, I stopped past times a local close-out store too stumbled across this awesome cane patterned garden stool.  It was a create out thus I couldn't go past times it up, too if yous tin laissez passer on the sack await past times the worst-ever color, isn't it cute?  I'll piece of job my procedure for paradigm ceramics and it should live quite a transformation.  Sadly, I've had it for a calendar month too it even thus looks only similar this.  I can't create upwards one's take away heed what color I desire to pigment it!  Hopefully I'll accept an subsequently movie to demo yous soon.




We weathered a major life modify too moved Caleb to college a few weeks ago.  He volition play inward the marching band this year, thus he moved inward a calendar week before than normal Freshman orientation for band camp.  We had a few hours to start getting his dorm room laid upwards too and thus he was already off to laid about rehearsal!


He's attending our Alma Mater, Oklahoma Baptist University, which is solely l minutes from our door to the campus.  We were genuinely dorsum too forth iv times inward his get-go 8 days at that topographic point for diverse events too orientations, thus I intend nosotros were all gear upwards for those events to calm downwards too for him to larn settled into his novel routine.




With a gentle reminder from Mom, he sent me his First Day of schoolhouse pic!  :)


And Emily started 11th degree the side past times side day.  Junior twelvemonth is genuinely tough, thus she's already buckling downwards too working difficult inward all of her classes.


She turned sixteen inward May, but knowing nosotros would live gone most of the Summer nosotros didn't desire to rush to larn her a machine that would only live sitting inward the driveway for weeks.  So, subsequently our go ended mid-July nosotros began looking earnestly for a dependable used car, to no avail!  After weeks too weeks of searching, nosotros finally came across a winner.  We genuinely industrial plant life it the nighttime before her get-go solar daytime of schoolhouse but didn't nation anything to her virtually it, went to depository fiscal establishment stand upwards for it out piece she was at school, too brought it domicile to surprise her subsequently school.  There had been a lot of fourth dimension too attending focused on blood brother leaving toward the terminate of the Summer, thus it was overnice to larn to create something exceptional for her!  She was definitely surprised, grateful, too happy to accept her ain wheels (I was pretty happy virtually it also subsequently we'd been sharing too juggling my machine for a while!).


On to to a greater extent than describe of piece of job solid news...  I've been looking to supervene upon our leather recliners for a twelvemonth or 2 now.  We've enjoyed them but accept been gear upwards for something different.


I had a pretty specific stance of what a wanted-  a pair of comfy, curl upwards too read a volume inward guild chairs that are inward covered inward a luscious fabric.  Here are a few inspiration photos that I had saved, I dear this shape.


I searched too searched, online too at local slice of furniture stores, but couldn't honor the correct style/fabric/price betoken combo that I was looking for.  I had my take in assault velvet inward a bold color, too finally came across to a greater extent than or less beautiful yardage options that weren't terribly priced at Fabric Factory, 1 of our local shops.  So, I shifted my search to a pair of chais amongst skillful bones that I could recover.  Even amongst the cost of a moderate cloth too hiring out the upholstery, I knew I'd even thus live coming out improve on cost for both chairs that 1 novel custom chair would probable cost.

So, subsequently to a greater extent than waiting too waiting for only the correct thing, these popped upwards on FB Marketplace.  They were from a character local slice of furniture store, too were from the nicest lady who took cracking tending of them.  I paid a piddling to a greater extent than than I would accept liked to for a slice that would live recovered, but I'd been looking for thus long too they were only right, thus I snatched them up.


I'm keeping them skirted too non genuinely changing anything virtually them, except I asked the upholsterer to brand the dorsum cushion virtually 3" taller too a piddling to a greater extent than foursquare on the top corners.  You can't genuinely tell from that angle, but they were a piddling curt too amongst the scale of my Living Room a piddling to a greater extent than summit on the dorsum looked better.  Again, going dorsum to my inspiration photos, they should accept a piddling to a greater extent than mass on the dorsum cushion similar these. 


So are yous wondering virtually the fabric???  Here are to a greater extent than or less of the beautiful velvet colors, await towards the dorsum at that row too.  There were thus many skillful ones, I wanted something inward each one!  The color I chose is here, but I'm non going to tumble the beans yet!  Which 1 create yous intend I chose?  (Another bonus to following on IG- if yous create yous belike saw what I picked!)  They've been at the upholsterer's for a while, I'm hoping to larn them dorsum inward the side past times side twosome of weeks.  Can't wait!


We wrapped upwards this past times weekend celebrating my birthday.  When the sweetness cashier at Trader Joe's industrial plant life out she gifted my flowers to me!  They're e'er thus nice!


Caleb came domicile for the day- amongst a few loads of laundry-  ;)   so nosotros enjoyed only beingness together at home, playing games, too eating chocolate cupcakes.  :)


More Trader Joe's flowers, these roses were unbelievable!!


I stance I'd portion this maxi skirt (affiliate link) I wore to our casual dinner out that night.  I honestly didn't accept high hopes for it but I LOVE IT!  It's truthful to size, has an elastic waist, too is super calorie-free weight without beingness sheer.  I'm 5'7" too equally yous tin laissez passer on the sack run into it skims the top of my feet.  The color inward existent life is much improve than the stock photo- color advert is "leopard".  Highly recommend, I'll add together to a greater extent than or less layers on top too go past times away on wearing it through the Fall.


Next time, I'll live sharing Caleb's dorm room amongst you.  We did a few fundamental projects to assist brand a tiny, concrete, white room a piddling to a greater extent than cozy!
