This cutie turned 32 today! We had a fun birthday celebration with our parents at The Manor yesterday, and we’re celebrating with friends tonight at La Vista. I love this adorable picture of Sasha in his karate duds. What a sweet face!
Silence
This week was hectic. Even beyond Monday’s events in Boston. I didn’t have one moment of alone time – it was go-go-go. Today is Friday, and I’m working from The Manor. It’s quiet. And I’m loving it. I saw this photo on Fourth Lake and was so drawn to it, as it exudes peacefulness. I added the Lao Tzu quote, as it rings so true – experiencing and welcoming silence is not always easy, but highly necessary. Another Tzu piece of wisdom that I love is the famous – “A journey of a thousand miles begins with just one step.” Anyways, I digress. I hope you are able to take some time in the following few days to sit and enjoy the silence. Have a wonderful weekend!
Pretty Little Things
Bryan texted me last night and said, “The house is starting to look like a home.” It was a small statement, but the sentiment was huge. I feel the same way! All of the little touches are coming together and although Sasha and I have agreed not to nail anything into the walls for another few weeks (I’m beginning to cave), we have ordered a few prints and I’m leaning them on the walls for now. I move out of my apartment in two weeks (seriously depressed – I’ve absolutely had the best year of my life living with McKenzie), and back into my parents – with the exception of my furniture, which will go into The Manor. A busy few weeks ahead! I’ll keep you all posted as always.
1) Furbish Studio Feather Print I, 2) Three French Prints from One Love Studio on Etsy, 3) New Moroccan print rug for the Master room (awaiting rug pad, which is why it’s not flat!), 4) Our second Maxwell couch from Restoration Hardware arrived!, 5) Constant supply of yellow tulips for the very yellow kitchen, 6) Finally filling out the bookshelves with real books (slowly but surely)
Our Little Visitors
The past few days (or weeks, or months?) have been super busy, as Sasha has officially moved into The Manor! We didn’t stop moving from Friday after work until Sunday night – packing boxes, moving bags, unloading – buying more and more and more stuff! It’s never ending (but I love it). On Sunday, Sasha’s cousin brought his kids over, as did his best friend. These three cuties made the whole day! I’ll take pictures of the house this weekend – when the Maxwell couches finally arrive.
Inside Liz Bachman’s Home
Glitter Guide is amazing, truly amazing. Every time I get on the site, I’m so inspired – this time by Liz Bachman’s (of Grey & Scout) home. Her taste is impeccable, and I love every single detail. My favorite setups are the bath and the desk – I cannot wait to decorate both of these spaces in The Manor. Aren’t these pictures incredible? Please add iMac, white and gold shelf, and gorgeous gold rim mirror to my wishlist!
