Vacay to the Rescue

I. Needed. A. Vacation.
More. Than. Ever.
And praise the Lord thats where i am now.
Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
My family and all the blue hairs.
Here is our cute little house on the canal.
View from the kitchen.

Alligator searching.

Fresh Bananas/plantains in the backyard. Also have coconuts!

Be jealous of our rental...
Our lunch destination in Little Havana. Had an amazing Cuban dish!

Poking our heads in all the amazing hotels in downtown Miami.

Miami Beach. Wishing we had our swimsuits with us.


And finishing off the day at the Marlins Vs. Braves game.

Moving Things Around

So with work being really stressful right now, i have been coming home and re-organizing. Why? I have NO idea, but i do believe it has been a decent little stress reliever! 
My kitchen island seems to always need a little something extra...but what? Here is what it looked like, i bought a new tray, but it just wasnt right.

But after moving a few things around, this is what its currently like. What do you think?
This is a piece of my grandmas silver. I absolutely love it, but never knew where to put it.


I dont want it to be too big. Is it? Better before, or after?

Pinterest Challenge

Inspiration:
And My Journey:


Super easy. Just needed 3 pieces of wood (one 2"x8"x10', and two smaller ones for the sides), old piece of barnwood, some nails and a saw.
Just need to play around with what goes on top.
 Need to go shopping!

Its Up

Finally. Over a month later. Its up! 
After some teeth pulling from Jacob, my Dad came over and hung it.
I absolutely love it.
LOVE IT.

Do you remember the before photos?
And then the paint job
Ta-da!

And, the before.


Thanks Bernie, for this sweet gift! I will always think of you when i turn it on!
