Friday Faves


Favorites from the week.....

1. Our Friends: On Saturday we hosted a cook-out for our friends and their families to enjoy the last of the fall weather and show off our new house! I love to watch Drew with his buddies and can't wait to watch him grow up with some of these kids. PS. Our friends are the bees knees.

I spy a nose picker.
Uggs: Derek surprised me with a grey pair for this winter. My brown ones were literally falling apart and I can't WAIT to sport a fresh pair.


Crown: We got crown molding put into our living room and our bedroom and it looks FAB! I love how it dresses up the rooms and makes them feel more formal!

Pictures don't really do it justice, but you get the idea!
Spindles: We also had the wood balusters taken out and replaced with wrought iron and I ADORE the final result!


Family: My entire immediate family is in town for a visit and early Thanksgiving celebration starting today. Then, a couple days after they leave Derek's entire immediate family arrives! Bring on the 2,500 calorie days and funny family moments for the next two weeks!

Have a great weekend!

  1. Your home looks so beautiful! I can't wait until my husband and I can buy a house. We were allowed to paint this time in our condo, but it's still not the same!

  4. The nose picking picture made me chuckle! I am always getting after my son about keeping his fingers out of his nose ha ha.
    The crown molding looks great! It makes the room look bigger.

    After Andy did the chair rail in Alex's room, he is dying to put molding in every room, whether it needs it or not. ;)


    And woot to those Uggs. Love the gray!
