Mix // 85

Middle of the week already. Lots going on.

Ive got a guy coming over tomorrow that is going to help me with some projects around the house. Tomorrow I'll know if I can do the bedroom wood wall now or if I have to wait until a couple other things happen first. I hope it can go up. It would be nice to finish it and be able to paint that room. He will also hopefully be able to get me started on my powder room - door questions on that room. Hoping I can fit a pocket door there. I'm going to be so excited to gut that room if it's a go!!!!! Yay!!!

I'm going to make a chocolate carrot cake today with cream cheese frosting. Yum!

I've got a fun day planned to the DIA and dining in the D. Gotta have your fun days. Luckily, I have a partner in crime that is very good at planning fun days.

I'm also hosting a fun little gathering with family and a handful of friends who were at his baby shower. Milo's debut and some roller skating!!!

Then just the normal life things like getting tax papers together and ordering items to style someone's house.

Here are some items that have caught my eye lately.

Exterior door hardware. I love the porcelain knobs. The big question is go dark or brass? I'm leaning dark for my house, but they are both really nice options. Not sure if this is what I'll end up with, but they are so 🎉

I always like this Juniper Home print.

This chair looks so comfy!

I massively love this dark chocolate coconut fiber bar. My boys love it too. Whenever I gift them little things I give them JJ Virgin bars of all types with whatever else, and they always send me messages about how good they are. If you like Mounds candy bars try these. I think they are 20% off right now. The chocolate cherry bar is really good too - I just ordered the chocolate mint to try.

This ring is so darn pretty. It's a stacker. The diamonds are real. I love it!!!

Sneakers - always.

#1 looks like a Madewell one I got last year.

#2 - the blush - it has a memory foam bottom. Super comfy. I have them in the other color.

#3 - the Adidas - on super sale. Got mine last year on sale and just wore them for the first time the other day. They are SUPER cute on and comfy!!! Why did I wait so long? Oh, yeah. Cause there was really nowhere to go 😕

The shacket - big right now. I really like this neutral option.

Use this as a dresser or buffet or a TV cabinet. Love the finish on this.

Marble picket tile - yes, please!

I love music and this print caught my eye. It's pink and fun! Google the song by Indeep.

The organic look of this pot is so pretty! Once again, love it!!!

Gotta run!

January Additions

I decided to have a really quiet January. No blogging. Minimum Instagram. I already closed up my Facebook. It was a good month. I painted my foyer, hung up some artwork, traveled to Grand Rapids for a day of fun, saw lots of friends, had a roller skating party, cooked a couple dinners for friends and family, worked on home design for a few people, etc.

No Monday Mix today - instead I decided I'd do one post full of material things that I added to my life in January.

Lets get started!

Today Is A Good Day art - simple typography. I hung it near my front door above a very old floral in a chippy frame. I love the mix of new with the very old and frayed. Now I'm on the lookout for a very narrow console for underneath it all.

I purchased this wood and brass set of hooks. I can use them in lots of places. Not hung up yet.

This big floppy basket is so good!!! I'm planning on printing out a whole bunch of snapshots to toss inside.

I picked up this navy striped ottoman for my foyer too!

This artificial fern adds much needed green to my space. It's in my office right now.

I bought this book.

Thought this floral was pretty. Trying to decide what other artwork I have that I want to pair it with.

This Murad serum has helped my skin be so good this Winter.

I love these disposable clean towels. My Mom gave me them awhile ago - but I've been using them a lot lately. So clean to use on your face. No bacteria accumulation that even your "clean" washcloths really have. They are soft and my skin feels super clean. When I'm finished I give my counter and sink a good cleaning with it before I throw it out.

This cowl neck top is so comfy. Comes in over 20 colors. I got the gray in a small. Great over leggings.

I've been into organizing what I already have. I got a lot of these trays to organize my oils. Loving it!!!

And lastly I stocked up on my favorite tanks and threw out a bunch of mine that had seen better days. I used to really like the Old Navy tanks, but for a year or so these have been my go to. I wear a tank basically every day so a comfy one is a plus. Plain Tank. Button Front Tank (peachy blush in real life).
