First comes love, then comes marriage, then comes a baby in a baby carriage.
Sucking her thumb, peeing her pants, and tryin’ to do the hula dance!
Ah yes, good ol' playground songs. The carriage I’m referring to today won’t be occupied by any babies any time soon…well, unless you’re Cinderella perhaps. But I do want to share some new carriage art I made that’s pretty fun and whimsical. Actually, I just jazzed up a sweet find I scored at Restore the other day for $2.50. Yes, $2.50. Can you GO wrong?!
I actually picked up three different finds while on my Restore run. Two framed pictures and a mini glass vase all for $4.50. You’ll notice the price tags indicate twice as much, but much to my luck, it was 50% off décor that day. I seriously love that place.
Don’t get me wrong…I absolutely love our new house, but when it comes to bathroom vanities, I feel like the builders of our home definitely scored some bulk pricing. Three of the four bathrooms have the exact same style vanity. The fourth bath is different because it was added later down the line when the basement was finished. And based on what we know about the house, it was done by different owners.
With so many vanities the same (even down to the hardware and hinges), it was feeling a bit Groundhog’s Day sometimes. I paint one…awesome…cheers for breathing new life into it. And then I turn the corner and BAM! There’s another one giving me the stink eye. So hop aboard the vanity facelift train…we’re taking off again!
Yup, we’re big Breaking Bad fans over here. Can you believe it’s ending soon?! I love me some Walter White and Jesse Pinkman. Anyway, while we're certainly not playing host to a meth cook lab, we are the proud owners of a lovely brick gas fireplace.
But the brick...it was bad. Well, let me clarify - it actually wasn't bad at all, but that didn't go along with this post's title, so just roll with it. It was just a very traditional red infused brick. And just stuck out too much with our decor so it made the hit list.
In honor of the lovely Labor Day holiday, I thought I'd lay off the usual house talk for a brief moment because for us, long holiday weekends are all about relaxing and spending time with friends and family. Translation: no laboring for us.
That said, last weekend we put down the tools and paint brushes and squeaked in a really fun family outing. We hit up Green
Meadows Petting Farm which I highly recommend for anyone with little ones. Here’s a little ditty about how and why we made the 40 minute trip to explore the farm.
