I have been itching to bring some color into this house for awhile now. We have been working with Ultra Bright White the entirety of our time here. So when I went to Home Depot last weekend I was ready to make an impulsive purchase.
Meet Seafoam Pearl
Now if I had really been thinking I would have picked out a color palette for the room before I went and impulsed the Seafoam Pearl because now I am stuck on what to do for curtains and pillows and how to tie it into the kitchen and dining room. Woof!
But anyways, this is how I updated the inside of our front door!
After 1 coat of paint
What do you think? I LOVE it. It adds just the right amount of color to that wall. Now, I want to rewrap my yarn bottles in some seafoam color and I’d love to paint that little shelf a fun color. Uh oh… I see lots of colors in our future!
Good morning blog world! I think Fridays are growing to be my favorite day. I love this time in the morning where I get to blog in bed next to Mike who is still resting. Friday is technically like Mike’s Saturday – so it would make sense that I love the day that he gets to be home.
1. KS Weather
Umm… last weekend it was +80 degrees. On Monday, it snowed. Make up your mind, SPRING! But I suppose I appreciated another chance to wear my slippers and big cozy sweatpants.
2. Alfred Update
Well, he didn’t love the snow but he has been loving the Spring weather. He’ll go outside in the morning and not come back in for hours. He just lounges in the sun and chases bugs. He has also been in a super playful mood. All of his toys go outside with him and they only occasionally make it back inside. The following video is a small snip of what he’ll do with his toys outside. Needless to say, he frequently is needing a bath.
We’ve been trying to take him on walks everyday too. It helps him to sleep better at night which helps Mike to sleep better at night. Well worth it even in the crazy weather. Now for a couple more photos…
3. Trim Update
I finished the hallway trim! On Monday and Tuesday I just decided to knock some trim out. Now I only have the 2nd bedroom, the laundry room, and our bathroom! Oh, and 5 doors.
The photo was taken with my iPhone – sorry about the bad quality. I will take better photos when it’s all done.
4. TJ MAXX
My mother-in-law came to town on Monday for the afternoon and we went shopping! We started at TJ Maxx and she bought me and Betsy these precious dish towels. I am in love with them in our kitchen and they are making me rethink every color I bring into that room. Ha!
I also got some great socks. TJ Maxx is one of the few places I will buy my socks. For example, these Under Armour socks I bought are $15.99 at Sports Authority and $6.99 at TJ Maxx. And they’re AMAZING.
5. Photo Dump
1. The moon the night after the lunar eclipse. We really love our neighborhood.
2. Our fresh fruit of the week. Nom nom.
3. The biggest strawberry I’ve ever seen.
4. My new wallet. After confirmation from my fashion and style expert (my little sister) I splurged ($14.99 Target) on a new wallet for myself. I haven’t bought a new wallet since my sophomore year of college…5 years ago.

And watched Frozen for the first time
It was a wonderful Spring weekend and I’m already looking forward to the next.
