friday fancys | saturday

Let's stop talking about that stink in' dress starting NOW! 

Cheers to the freakin' weekend! 
Who's done with this week already?
 *raises both hands* 
We should start a petition to make Monday part of the weekend, no? 


For the past I don't know how many months, I've been working every Saturday morning unless I have previously requested off for an event of some sort or it was so last minute that nothing productive could be planned ahead of time. Therefore I have not been able to have some family time at home with the husband and get some projects finished because by the time I get home - hubby is on his way to work at his parents restaurant - weekend shot. 

Soooo -- I finally have a planned ahead Saturday off of work tomorrow! I'm not even sure what to do with myself - what do I do on a Saturday off? 

I went through my list of favorite things to do on Saturdays so this one can be just right - I have quite a list...


1. Sleeping In 

Who the heck doesn't love sleeping in? Now-a-days my sleeping in is basically 8:30-9:00am.. Which I like because I can "sleep in" and still accomplish something that day!  Back in the day it was 1:00pm. 


* I just had to Google "sleeping puppy"... Now I've planned a trip to the pet store for tomorrow instead of anything productive..


2. Actually enjoying a breakfast instead of scarfing it down...


I feel like too many times I'm calling down to hubs "start my bowl of cereal, I'm almost late!". It feels good to stop and cook a decent breakfast together (9/10 times its bacon and something else;)) and enjoy a cup of coffee while we plan the day ahead. It doesn't happen often - but we all need to slow down sometimes.





Hub knows how I feel about coffee mugs - I use them for every beverage basically. One year he got me these cuties [this is not my actual photo] and he was just so proud of his purchase:) 


3. Building a giant nest in the living room 


Sometimes you just want to have a lounge day and that is totally acceptable. I am a huge fan of just vegging out in the living room and never seeing the light of day. 



Here at 221 we are a little bit more simple when it comes to making our snuggle nest/fort. Ours consist of cozy comforters and piles of pillows. We should think about adding lanterns though!
Last weekend we decided to make a nest since we hadn't since living in the city. It started as a great idea, but as the night progressed we ended up taking a "nap" at 9:30pm and then became too tired to climb the stairs to a real bed.. We ended up sleeping in the living room until the next morning! Boy, did our bodies regret that - it took me 4 days to knock the hunch out of my back:/


4. Antiquing. Duh!

I get so giddy when husband says we can go for the day - so excited. If even just to look and not purchase - I am usually happy with that:) 



Antiquing has good days and bad. Even if I don't come home with any new finds - I usually come home content and with some new ideas for the home. 




After going through all of my favorite things to do on Saturdays - it looks like I need to have the next four off right?:)

Talk about all of this time off of work - somehow I managed to have yesterday until Tuesday off of work... I have many things I can be finishing up now! 

Keep your design questions coming - it keeps me busy:)

Whoa! | Bathroom REupdate

Well it's been pretty damn long since I've given you guys any good stuff lately. I failed miserably at the OCD challenge last year and for that I am sorry. BUT we are back in action and we have decided to stick with working on one room at a time but not necessarily finish in a month's time. This really allows us to focus on one space and pay attention to every detail and really perfect it.  The first project of the year was the main bathroom. You may be saying "Hey, didn't she already do that one?" . Yes. Yes we did. I am a perfectionist and I knew it needed to be done again. I wasn't happy with the wall color and there were too many unfinished projects in the space. It was somewhat embarrassing when we had guests over and it looked like a Sundance film production office (whatever that looks like, I just made that up) exploded in there. I think it wasn't completed for so long because I was sort of scared to do some of the projects that needed to b...

certains things just belong at home..

The other day my aunt and I were pulling of the driveway about to do some shopping and someone had pulled off onto the side of the road. He waved us down and asked if I owned the house - it feels so good to say "Yes", although I'm a horrible liar and should have said "I will in 20-30 years."  He informed us that he wasn't a creep [which made me think he might just be a creep - just kidding!] and that he lived in the house two owners ago [from 1993-2001-ish]. He said he was unpacking some boxes and came across something he thought should stay with the house and thought I may like it. He saw that we were doing a lot on the house and thought we were doing a really good job - well duh.  He pulled out two nicely framed photos: This is the original home owner! Can you even right now? This was taken over 100 years ago, guys!     I zoomed in so we could go into greater detail. 1. There's a hammock on the porch - I love hammocks!...

Friday Fancys!

Today is the debut for my Friday Fancys post!  Every Friday I want to do a fun post about "Whatever suits my Fancy"! Things that make me happy that I want to talk about that week - anything. Any topic, any subject - anything. I need ideas from all of you to get me through all 52 weeks this year too!  Recently my best friend reintroduced me into alliterations and I thought this would be the perfect place to expose my new found love:) As I mentioned in my New Year post - making routine posts for you to get excited about is one of my 2015 goals. I think it goes without saying that my main passion - among other things - is design and all things creative. You may know that about me, but do you know where I get my main inspiration? Do you know what really makes me tick? What really gives me goosebumps when I see a completed space on TV or in real life? Maybe you don't care, maybe you do - if you don't - you should probably hit that little red x in the left co...
