Here is a quick recap of our weekend (I’ll be sharing more later in the week). We had some friends of ours in town from Austin and we made the most of the few days we had. It was really fun and now it’s back to our regular schedules. Boo.
-Theo chocolate tour
-Lunch at the Columbia tower (what a view!)
-Trying another new hairstyle
-Wine tasting
-Funny faces
-A little coffee (in my case chai latte) break
I have some good friends visiting from Austin this weekend! They came in yesterday and we took the Theo chocolate tour. We had way too much chocolate (if there is such a thing) and got to wear these super fashionable hairnets. I’ll be sharing more after the weekend but right now I’m off to show then the city!
We have been in the apartment for about 5 months and it’s just now to my liking. I’ve been slowly buying pieces and replacing ones Walker picked out without me or got for free but decorating is not one of my strengths. I know what I like but I don’t know how to put anything together.
A friend of ours offered to help and since he redecorates his place just about every week and works for an interior designer I trusted his opinion. It was nice having someone to think totally out of the box. We have 2 identical bookcases and he had the idea to put one in the entryway as a shoe/gloves/hats/scarves/misc holder. It’s perfect there! He did a great job and I love the space now. It’s open and simple but cozy at the same time. Come take a look!
-Desk/work area for me and Walker. I just picked up the chair off craigslist and it’s my new favorite piece.
-Bookshelf/reading corner-a must have for me.
-Our tv and entertainment center. This is still a bit of a work in progress but it’ll do for now. My plan is to hang some of my art above the tv.
-The new (to us) couch I got a few weeks ago. Some perfectly placed books and my fly box hiding next to the plant. Also how cool is that beetle pillow? My mom bought it for me just because and it was a wonderful surprise in the mail. I LOVE it!
(Still not super crazy about the rug but I can’t do everything at once. Plus it’s fun to always be looking for things to add. Right now I’m on the prowl for black, gold, and dark wood frames.)
