Long time no blog!

I am back! I got a big girl job, and I am finally settled back into life so I can blog once again. These past few months have definitely been quite the ride. Switching from being a student/nanny to working a 9-5 has been easier than I expected, but time seems to fly by way too fast. I cannot believe its almost November. When did that happen?

This weekend I finally got around to hanging things on our bedroom walls. (Thank you target for cheap frames!) The tree print is my absolute favorite. This is what it looks like close up.

I found it HERE!

I love that I am finally finding my decorating groove. I was drowning in shabby chic for far too long. I have fallen in love with sharp corners and shapes. 

I got this piece in Kirkland this summer on sale for $20. I was thrilled! The bookshelf it is sitting on use to be a lovely pink shabby chic piece, but no more pink hooray!

That is all for now!

Overlays

This is something that I have looking for, for a long time. They are overlays. Looked how they transformed a plain IKEA dresser.

I found this transformation HERE.

I plan on getting three of these:

Which can be found HERE.

Enjoy!

Grass Lawn Park!

Madison and I went to grass lawn park on wednesday. I thought this picture was too cute not to share.

RN74

Tuesday Girls With Controllers had a meeting at RN74. Not only did they have a fantastic wine list they had a delicious app selection. We ordered fondue. It came out as little grilled cheese sandwiches and tomato sauce for the dip. Such a good idea I can't wait to make some at home!

Kansas

Dan and I went to Kansas to visit his family last week. It was great to defrost from this awful Seattle summer we are having, and it was great to catch up with his family.

The second night we hung out listening to live jazz music at Dan's dads record store. Then we went to a drag bar! This was my first time at a drag bar and it was absolutely fantastic.

The next night we went Cosmic Bowling! 

Our final day we stopped in this old train station. It was absolutely beautiful. There were also bullet holes in the marbles from a gangster/police shoot out in the early 1900's. Crazy

Inside the train station there were miniature train sets. This is Dan's little niece. She loved all the trains.

Wine and Dine

Today I met up with my Grandma. We had lunch at the Barking Frog in Woodinville. Then we walked over to Chateau St. Michelle Winery, and had a great time walking around.

Wineries are so gorgeous. I wish I could just grab a book and a blanket for the day.

Super cute baby ducks. They were jumped down from pond to pond.

Stumbled upon a creepy old greenhouse. It is sad that it is empty. I feel like especially in Seattle someone could put it to great use!

Summer in the City

Summer in the city means something special in Seattle. When our two month long summer rolls around we take advantage of it. This past saturday Dan and I headed to the wonderful sandy Seattle beach, Golden Gardens! Of course it was slammed with blindingly white people trying to get their tan on.

Dan was stoked on life when we found TMNT popsicles with gumball eyes!
