Now please excuse me while I show off some gratuitous vacation cuteness for the grandparents! There is a little bit of home dec stuff at the end of this post!
We ran...
We napped...
We buried ourselves in the sand...
We searched for shells...
We soaked in the sun (as much as we could through SPF 60!)...
We splashed...
We took it all in...
We conquered the beasts of the sea...
We ran with delight...
We dug...
We filled...
We mixed...
We floated around the lazy river...
We built sand kingdoms...
Did I mention we dug?
We watched seagulls...
We had a blast!
and now we're glad to be home!
I did bring home one little souvenir from an antique shop.
It's a "youth chair". It seats a toddler at just the right height for a dining table. A little more charming than a plastic booster seat. Now I'm on the hunt for another one since my girls currently fight over this one at every meal!
(BTW- anyone else think maybe I wished a little too hard for a vinyl tablecloth that would look okay in my kitchen?!)
In case anyone else is interested, Ikea now sells similar "junior chairs" to match some of their dining chairs.
I thought I'd leave you with a Before shot of my dining room. I figure if I put my plans in writing, I'll have no excuse not to get started!
You can see where I already started painting below the chair rail to the right of the china cabinet. Here's my to-do list:
- Sew Drapes
- Sew Slipcovers
- recover lattice-back chairs
- Back the china cabinet
- Paint & Wall treatment
- Accesories
- Possibly paint the sideboard
- Update the Chandelier shades
I better get cracking!
Love,

ReplyDeleteLooks like y'all had a great time!! What sweet pictures of your babies. They are so cute! Love that toddler chair. I wish we'd had one of those a year or two ago. Can't wait to see the new dining room!
