Continuing our tradition of having busy weekends, our housewarming party is on Sunday! When we set the date about a month ago, we had a big list of stuff we wanted to buy/paint/fix between then and now, and it's been kind of hilarious to see how much we actually had time for. Hint: not much. We've managed to hang some artwork and buy an Expedit.
But that's okay! Nobody will know what isn't done anyway, so I'm just going to chill with my coffee and show you what I liked on Pinterest this week.
First, I sure wouldn't mind if my living room looked like this. Well, if I had a living room; we just have one of the family variety. I dig the ampersand pillow:
I've been seeing a lot of mercury glass in stores lately, but here's a tutorial for making your own with clear glass, spray paint, and white vinegar. Genius! As soon as I have a second, I'm trying it:
Pumpkin spice lattes hold a special place in my heart, so it won't shock anyone that I'm also ingrigued by pumpkin spice hot white chocolate:
Those who follow me on Instagram (username littlenostalgia--whaddup?) might have seen my plate wall planning yesterday. It's going in the dining room and while we're not doing a crescent shape, I think that idea looks amazing here:
And finally, this bird blouse is not only adorable, but it's on sale. And because it's black I automatically think it's awesome and want it in my closet. I've been wearing a lot of color lately and I feel the darkness calling:
I do still need to get those aforementioned plates on the wall, and maybe I should go work on some jewelry orders before I get up to my eyeballs in that. I have a feeling it will take me a while...
What are you up to this weekend? Any plate-hanging tips for me?
That plate wall is a gorgeous idea! I hope you have a wonderful weekend.

Lovely! Oh, have a great time at your party;)
ReplyDeleteLovely inspiration. Enjoy your party!
ReplyDeleteReally great finds, as always. I just opened a letter from my dad yesterday, and he said, "Don't feel like you have to do everything on the house all at once. Make a list and plan it out over the next 3 months or so." My boyfriend and I looked at each other and just laughed, like "how does he know?"
ReplyDeleteI think everything you want to do on a house takes twice as long as you think, and probably costs more too. I'm torn between wanting everything to be fixed, arranged, and pretty right now, and also wanting to take my time and do it right/save money.
Hope the party is fun! And you're right, no one else will notice those things you want to change, unless you're like me and feel a compulsion to point them all out. Haha. xoxo
Look at you ladies living the homeowners' life!
DeleteAm I allowed to live vicariously through you and your home improvements? :)
(One day! One day I'll be able to have a dog, and drill the walls for bookshelves! Until then...)
Anabel! Of course! Join us!
DeleteMary, I totally DO have a compulsion to point out things that aren't done. I don't know what's wrong with me! Part of me wants to hurry up and get the house ready, too, but that's not how I decorate. The condo took me years to do and I never technically finished by the time we moved because I never did our bedroom. I decorate like a snail.
That pumpkin latte looks amazing.
ReplyDeleteHave fun on Sunday! Maybe wait until after the party to hang the plates on the wall. ;)
ReplyDeleteHave a great housewarming party! The plate display is beautiful and so unique.
ReplyDeleteThat living room looks so cozy! And the pumpkin hot chocolate looks amazing!
ReplyDeleteHave a great time at your party tonight :)
I really like the plate hanging idea. I think I saw that on your pinterest. I'm looking for more wall art ideas so I fill up my white walls. My plan this weekend was to do homework, sew, and work. I think I succeeded in all 3.
