I've continued to add some color with a few more accents.  The fabric for the pillows comes from JoAnn Fabrics and the ceramic owl vase was

Had the nicest little getaway to Chincateague, VA Had the nicest little getaway to Chincateague, VA for a friend’s birthday and fell in love with the sweetest little barrier island town. We stayed @keywestcottages, shopped and dined at many locally owned places (highly recommend Island Creamery for the best homemade ice cream), and we even spotted some of the infamous wild ponies at Chincateague National Wildlife Refuge. On the drive home we did some antiquing and popped into Cape Charles (another darling little town) for lunch. I would love to take C back one day because it’s is a pretty family friend town as well. Such a sweet spot for a long weekend getaway!
Please meet the newest member of of family- Emmeli Please meet the newest member of of family- Emmeline, aka “Emmie”! We found her after visiting several local shelters and are happy to report that she is settling in well. She’s super sweet & affectionate…C is smitten! 🥰
Sometimes you just have to drop everything and giv Sometimes you just have to drop everything and give something a makeover, am I right?! 🤣☺️ C has a little craft table in our living room so I’ve been on the hunt for the perfect cabinet to corral all her art supplies and some toys she frequently plays with…I finally found the perfect piece for $50 on FB Marketplace! We (yes, C helped 🥰) painted it in a matte finish paint in the @sherwinwilliams color Monorail Silver, the perfect blue-gray shade I was hoping for. After it was dry, I took some sand paper to the edges to give it a more vintage feel and also swapped out the knob. Now, time to organize and fill those baskets! 🧺
We took our 4th annual trip to @storylandnh and as We took our 4th annual trip to @storylandnh and as we sat to take a break, this character came over to say hello. Our daughter has worked so hard in physical therapy to overcome some gross motor challenges related to balance and coordination, most notably learning to walk independently. With some encouragement, she stood up and walked over for a hug! This seemingly mundane moment for most families is SUCH a huge milestone for us- one that is a culmination of YEARS of hard work. Words cannot express how proud I am to be her mom and to have a front row seat to true determination, perseverance, and patience…today was an awesome day and makes me so hopeful for the future! 💗
My home state of Maine will forever have my heart- My home state of Maine will forever have my heart- I miss it every day but feel so lucky I get to come back home for much of the summer to fill my cup right up to the brim! I hope my daughter is building core memories of her time here each summer as well…video captured while on a July Fourth family cruise in front of Portland Head Light in Cape Elizabeth, Maine.
