ugh.

Reality hit like a ton of bricks yesterday morning. We spent a glorious week at the beach… I never wanted to come back. Those of you who follow me on Instagram saw the play by play.

Sardines.

Love her more than peanut butter.

Surfin’ Lou-S-A.

Does this kid not get the best natural beach waves? #jealous.

Lots of this.

And this.

And a little more of this.

To celebrate with my ladies of liberty.

We got home on Saturday night and had our first inaugural marshmallow roast in the firepit. S’mores and all. It was heavenly. The backyard is 98% finished! Pics soon.

Can’t Teach An Old Dog….

So I finally got my Craig’s List Chairs reupholstered in the perfect shade of turquoise. Looks like Bailey doesn’t give a sh%t about the new house rules.

In other living room news, I am so in love with our new piano bench.

I took Grandma’s old piano bench and covered it with a metallic cowhide that I found here.

Here is the before….

And after….

Bit By Bit…

Guess what we finally put together last weekend….

I will post a full tutorial next week. And in other news, my turquoise linen fabric came, and I couldn’t be more disappointed. I paid $200 to have it backed, and the manufacturer is insisting it has an acrylic backing… I sent it back last week to have knit backing added. Learn from my mistake… Always go with a knit backing.

I’ll give you one guess who is going to be pissed when these are reupholstered…..

Ryann Colleen Photo Shoot.

My friend Ryann Laden of Ryann Colleen Photography was so sweet to come out and take some pictures of us. Spoiler Alert: For those of you receiving Christmas cards from the Salmons, expect one of these pictures to be on it. Ryann did an amazing job and the girls absolutely ADORED her. We had so much fun.

Thank You Ryann, these are pictures that we will treasure forever.

Designed for Dogs.

Upon doing some research for a kitchen project, I came across an amazing phenomenon. People are actually designing their homes around their dogs. Now- I love my girl, don’t get me wrong, but I am not quite sure that I would have her bed built into my kitchen counter… Perhaps if I had more space?

You’re So Vain.

I have a few exciting things in the works, and I quickly came to the realization that I didn’t have a headshot. So, a few weeks ago I enlisted the help of my friend Ryann Laden of Ryann Colleen Photography to help a sister out. (Sidebar: I am pretty awkward about having my picture taken, especially by myself. I couldn’t even do it on my wedding day -weird, I know.)

Thank God for Ryann who was AMAZING at coaching me through my photographic-awkwardness. We were able to cram the entire session in while the girls were at dance class. What was hilarious about the whole thing is that Bailey kept creeping into every picture- so much like my real life, she is right by my side.

Recognize this Forever 21 dress?

I just adore this one of Bail– a framer, for sure!

Loving my EmersonMade Poppy!

My baby is getting so grey around the face– she just turned 10!

I felt a little ridiculous with this one in my boudoir– but this is where the majority of the magic happens… For the blog, that is.

Thanks again to Ryann, she is a true professional, and quite the perfectionist– which I love. Ryann also does Portrait Parties for children– what a great idea for Spring!
