Mornin' super lovlies! Just a quick reminder, today is your LAST chance to enter the give-away! Two Hundred Smacker from MirrorMate.com - pretty sweet, so hop to it before it's too late! We will also be hosting an excited new give-away very soon, for you art lovers hint, hint.
So how was your weekend? Were you like us and totally ignored your growing to-do list? Or did you kill it this weekend and do more than humanly possible? We did a lot of day dreaming of what we wanted to accomplish, but in reality we cracked open the windows and spent half the weekend in bed. This is very rare for us. If you want a peek into the typical life of Joey and Lana "taking the weekend off", here ya go:
- Washed and Trimmed Rocket
- Met with the Tax guy, and left severely depressed about what we owe
- Booked tickets to LA
- Cleaned the floors down stairs
- Washed the bath mats
- Planned out the office design once and for all
- Started brainstorming the garden room design
- Went to a friends house for dinner
- Watched Alice in Wonderland, Chloe, and a Beatles documentary
- Made smoothies
- Walked the dogs
Bored yet? Haha. We won't leave you hanging there. The interesting part is fleshing out my office, which has turned storage room this winter. Here's the plan.
We found paint! We love the paint we found very very much! We wish we knew about this paint before we started painting out bedroom, but we are super happy we found it before we painted the rest of our home. Lesson learned. Why's loving this new paint to exciting? Umm...there is really good primer mixed in with the paint. It comes in a million colors. It cuts time in HALF. True Value just released EasyCare Platinum, and it's the new winner for all of our indoor paint moving forward.
If you go to TrueValuePaint.com, you can use their super handy tools, like we did to help select your paint. We have been drooling over this Natural Riverbed for a long time, and had many discussion of where it would look best in our home. Right now the office is a bit....yellow.
As you can see the office (aka storage room) is in some need of TLC and clearing it out and painting it will do wonders for a new and fresh feel. And instead of just a simple paint job (Why would we keep anything simple?) We are pretty set on using this stencil from CuttingEdgeStencils.com, check her out!
Can you see it? We had to spend half a day in bed visualizing it. Yep, that's what we are telling ourselves.
So our unproductive/productive weekend got us pumped up at the end of the day to start a new room. A mix of fancy damask + farmhouse chic will be the road we start with for my office, who knows where it will end.
Hey there! We hope you like all the give-aways going on at MAHAH! We are excited to host them! Just a reminder, we don't get paid to host give-aways and we didn't get paid to write this post about True Value or MirrorMate.com or CuttingEdgeStencils.com - we just really like their products and feel excited about sharing things that work for us.
Oh yea! If you are super prepared like me, check out our post over at Yahoo! A sample of our emergency kits, just in case disaster strikes.
