Hello! Long time no blog. I have been super busy with house stuff and spent the weekend with my family doing odds and ends around the house. Here is a recap of all the work we did fun we had :)
I met my Momma and 87 year old Granny at the mall after work on friday. Although she may be 87, the lady is a serious, serious shopper. Maybe that is where I get it from. Granny was on a serious mission to find a summer straw bag and a new pair of black flats. Mission was accomplished
she is just so precious to me...granny with the doggies |
Granny's new bag and flats for summer. adorable! |
Mom and I both picked up a pair of these wedges for summer. |
I also got these too as an early birthday present. Super excited to wear them |
After we got home, first thing is first in this family....food.
Mama fired up the stove with new potatoes and gravy and fresh peas from their garden at home, while granny made us homemade cornbread...my fave.
My mom is an amazing cook |
Granny whipping up some cornbread |
if you are gonna make cornbread, you gotta have a cast iron skillet |
I enjoyed her being here soooo much |
After dinner it was time to get down to business.
The color we decided on was called cinnamon cake.
Kev did all the masking work to prepare the walls for their new look.
Dad lead the charge and mom, dad, and kev got down to serious business. I like to think I took the responsibility as the "supervisor." The pics make the color look more orange than what it actually is. The color has more red undertones than what my lighting gives it credit for.
I love this picture. Uggie loves her nana :) Uggie is so attached to my mom. It is so darn sweet. |
Mom and dad stayed up till almost 3 am on friday night putting the finishing touches on the 1st and 2nd coat of paint. And...drum roll please....the final look:
We love it! The dinning room is very warm and we cant wait to share many many meals in this room with our friends and family. Mom and Dad did such a great job and we enjoyed every single second of it.
missing a dinning room chair...but you get the idea |
Hope you enjoyed the final product! We also painted our powder room which i will share in a later post. It was a great DIY project and we had such good company along the way.
Mom and DAD - if you are reading...thank you soooo much for all your hard work this weekend. I love you all to pieces and I appreciate everything you do for me. You all are the best!
My birthday is tomorrow and we are taking a lil mini trip up to Cincinnati. I cant wait! Hope everyone is having a fabulous week!
