6 Random Thoughts

1. If you looked at our most recent grocery bill, you'd think we had a bunch of teenage boys living in our house. But no, it's just a occasionally crazy pregnant woman who wants to eat every fruit know to man and a lot of french toast sticks.

2. I think I really want to try making these simple, glam dishes.

These would make my Cheerios extra fancy. :)

3. With it still being over 100 degrees here, we eat a lot of fruit, veggies and salads for dinner so that we don't have to turn the oven on. This is one of our favorite salad dressings, and we love it on a spinach, fresh strawberry, and grilled chicken salad. (PS if you want to add some mandrin oranges to this salad, it's also amazing.)

4. I'm really in love with white, wide plank floors.

5.  Even though we won't find out what we're having till October, my momma's instinct is telling me it's a girl. :) I'm thinking of doing "her" nursery in a simple, glam, chic style. Think white walls, molding, mint green, some gold with a little mid-century twist.  And colors and patterns like this.

6.  Lastly I want to thank all of you for being so patient with me and my lack of projects, posting and responding to every single comment.  Please know I am so grateful for your encouragement and well wishes. I wish I could say the morning sickness is totally gone. I had a few amazing days, and now I'm back to lying on the couch for most the morning.  But really, truly, sincerely THANK YOU for sticking around. This is for all you, beautiful people. :)

A New Look in Levittown

Ever heard of Levittown, New York? For many, it’s just a hamlet located in Nassau County, somewhere between Hempstead and Farmingdale. In actuality, Levittown is, in many ways, considered a historic example of suburban planning; it is considered the first mass-produced suburb in America and is named after the father of the suburb, William Levitt. We were in this historic area recently, finishing up a massive home renovation. We completely revamped an attic and turned it into a living space, with shelves and a rather large closet. We also completely redid the stairs and living room, which got brand new walls and a paint job, as well as a brand new ceiling fan and light fixture.  We’re still finishing up some smaller projects in the home but we thought we’d give you a sneak peek at how we made this ordinary suburban home into something unique for our customers. Enjoy!

2 new chairs for the new house

Pretty much since I was in 5th grade I have loved watching HGTV and dreamt of having a home to design and decorate one day. 

And now that we are in the market to buy a home, my decorating desire in in hyperactive overdrive. 

We've found a house that we LOVE, a house we could grown into with lots of possibilites and potential, but it's at the very top end of our budget we we're pondering in for a week and then we'll decide if we want to procede with it. 

(I'll keep you updated :))

Anyway, I've been wanting to have my grandma's chair reupholstered for a long time now, and we just had it redone in preparation for our future new home. 

The before:

And the after:

I still need to refinish the legs, and I'm going between a couple of options. 

1. Lacquered in black

2. Lacquered in white

3. A lighter stain

4. Or a fun color like a mustard yellow

Thoughts?

And the other new chair was a an amazing thrift store find. 

A tufted leather chair for $75.

The seat was a little dry, but I've been using some leather conditioner and it's working like a charm. 

I almost offered more for the chair, but then I came to my senses and counted it as an amazing blessing from the thrifting gods. :)

Vintage Blue and Purple Girls bedroom

Hello friends, happy Monday I hope you had a pleasant weekend. Recently I received a comment from a viewer on a post I did on Vintage Style Teen Girls Bedroom Ideas this viewer was quite interested in a design for her 12 year old daughters room in the colors lavender and baby blue so in a effort to answer her question I thought how cool will it be if I did a mocked room in those very colors with a twist of green since green is my favorite color. Here's the deal this viewer wanted the room to be vintage style with lavender and baby blue and she also mention her daughter loves makeup as well. Now let’s keep in mind that I have no room sizes, no room shape so I couldn’t possibly in no way give this viewer an exact look of her daughter’s room but here is what the comment was and what I came up with for vintage teen girly room.

Any ideas for a lavender and baby blue bedroom for a 12 year old girl who's into makeup and fashion?

This is my comment back to this viewer

Hi Anonymous, I wish I knew your name and then I can call you by it but anyhow thanks for your comment. Lavender and baby blue bedroom sounds absolutely beautiful together and for a 12 year old no less is all the more. First taking her age in to consideration I would make sure to give her more of a teen room because if we know anything about kids or they don’t stay youngsters forever. Furthermore I would maybe bring in one of the color on to the wall and built around it with some of her favorite things and if you’re going vintage don’t forget to use some things that are period pieces like old dresser or nightstands, throw pillows with perhaps some writing on them and you can’t forget a makeup table of some kind. Whatever you do just make certain your daughter is happy with it and you can’t go wrong.

Love’s makeup

What you think of what I came up with?

Friends I hope you were able to see the vintage in this room. I started off with purple wallpaper on the focal wall and on the two side walls baby blue paint.  For the bed I used an old Iron bed and painted it a baby blue color. Well I like to imagine I found this old era Iron bed that was old and yucky and made it new again and dressed it in some pretty bedding old is what makes vintage, vintage. Furthermore I found a beautiful pillow with some vintage writing on it and included it in with the rest of the bedding. Friends check out the cute vintage dress horse isn’t it just beautiful.  Now remember our reader made mention of her daughter loving makeup? I was sure to include a beautiful makeup vanity to put on makeup when she’s ready. Another thing I like a lot is the two beautiful sconces on either side of the bed. I think it helps bring the room together but even more how about the beautiful sketch of the girl wearing all that makeup above the bed. Just lovely right! Here is the source of this sketch here 

Well my Friends I hope you enjoyed this post as much as I have. It’s nice to imagine on occasion right?
