LATELY

Hours turn into days, days into weeks, and here we are.

Still working towards the next chapter in our life and so much to grab still on the horizon.

We haven't slowed down and its fitting that Spring is on it's way in to help warm + wake us.

CH-CH-CH-CHANGES

I spent most of last weekend's efforts rearranging my living room, kitchen, and Lunas room.

I had just arranged Luna's room after moving her nursery into our spare room but had to rework it again with the addition of our old queen bed. We got a new cal king bed in our room 'cause lets not forget Luna sleeps with us.

In order to fit our old bed in her new room I had to move my beloved pink sofa into the kitchen. A sofa in the kitchen? I know. In order to move the sofa into the kitchen I had to move the table into the living room.

"There was an old lady who swallowed a fly....

I dunno why she swallowed that fly".

see...sofa in the kitchen

Since last weekend I've filled that wall with more art and added another chair to the table. The coffee shoppe sign is new to us - but an antique from the auction a few weeks back. I still want to get a cord chain for the lamp which is Ikea. For the kitchen lamp cord I just went to the local hardware store and bought industrial chain in matte black. I think I'll do gold in the living room. I added a small coffee table in the kitchen to accent the sofa. I'll take updated pics this weekend if I can remember.

I ordered a black and white chevron rug in 8x10 and 4x5 after I saw them go on sale and I had a coupon for an extra 15% off. Add on free shipping and I couldn't pass it up. Chevron is almost too popular right now but I caved, and I can't deny the clean easy look.

Can my new rug just come already so I can get rid of my old gross rug? The giant grey shag rug (see above pic) that's been pet romped and peed on? Yeah that one. Can't wait to see it at the curb as I back out of the driveway and wave goodbye. My skin crawls that Luna walks on the same area rug we brought a puppy home to. No matter how much I vacuum it that rug gives me the heebie-geebees.

I love change!

SAY GOODBYE

I love vintage just as much as the next blogger, but what I really love is the chase.

I love finding something I adore, appreciate, am inspired by, been lusting after etc.

Finding it for a great deal is even better. Finding it in an unlikely place is even better better.

Then I bring it home, style it into my surroundings and enjoy it.

And then? ...Well then I love to sell it and move on. I love to see it go to a new home with new owners will will love it and enjoy just as I did.

Say goodbye to these two little cherries.

I've loved and enjoyed them for the past 2 years. We've had some great times...

Poor Moony, not a fan of the chair, this was our last picture of the day.

I nabbed these salmon fiberglass diddies at a local auction for just ten dollars each. I won't reveal what I've sold them for because that's part of my private chase delight. Why not turn a profit doing something you love?
Fine by me.
