the weekend || a big win, some chairs and welcomed relief

happy monday!

that's false. let's be honest; mondays are almost never happy.

well here's hoping for a change of pace. a huge welcome to new friends here from bijou and boheme! i'm so excited to have you here, and am looking forward to visiting each and every one of your beautiful homes on the web.

i don't have an I Am for you this morning. we will be back in action in the next couple of weeks. instead, i'll attempt to make my weekend sound exciting. several weeks ago, i was the verrrrrrry lucky winner of a west elm parsons tower from the sweet caitlin of sacramento street. i had a chance to put it together last week, and we currently have it maximizing storage in our teensy kitchen. you can't possibly imagine how happy i am!

saturday morning, i stole picked up some great chairs at a garage sale. there are three of them, so i'm imagining two in a glorious statement fabric for the someday living room, and one in a bedroom or office. let's just hope i'm not wrong about their potential. i was kind of obsessed from the moment i laid eyes on them, and they were such a great deal that i just had to do it. you probably won't see them again for awhile, but hopefully they make another appearance in a brand new space.

here is my step-daughter, G, demonstrating the fascinating planking phenomenon on said chairs. have you heard about this trend? so weird.

no, that clip did not swallow her head.

i love those chairs.

then we took the kids to their first professional soccer game ever (they're both soccer studs). we starve them when they're in town, so G literally had to eat the cotton candy stick.

i also tried out what all the kids are doing these days with their nails. neon and gold. kind of fun :)

then -- exciting news. i don't know how many of you are over this heat . . . but looks like some relief is headed our way.
