august was our second full month here! still pinc august was our second full month here! still pinching myself constantly! still feel like i’ve gotten very little done inside the house but getting to watch their childhoods completely transform and getting to watch the sky turn pink over our river every night is what really matters most. ready to settle into our new routine but not ready to not feel like i’m on endless vacation… so i won’t!
i’m sorry!!! but also not sorry. i like connecti i’m sorry!!! but also not sorry. i like connecticut style lobster rolls a lot, but a cold maine lobster salad on a warm summer night?! I’VE BEEN CRAVING THIS!!!! perfect for one of our last summery dinners outside before we have autumnal dinners outside! 🦞 lobster salad recipe 🦞 — mix mayo with chopped tarragon, juice of 1/2 half lemon, tb of dijon, salt and pepper — dice cucumber, celery, green onions and mix with lobster meat. add mayo mixture and some more fresh tarragon (i also added basil and dill!) — butter split top buns and pan fry until golden. spoon in lobster salad and liberally sprinkle on the @oldbay_seasoning — serve with pickles and chips (or tots but i forgot them) comment WANT for the links sent straight to your dms. https://liketk.it/5mNrK
an easy + super aesthetic little app for autumn 🍂 even though personally i’m not forcing autumn into existence and i’m overwhelmed by everyone doing so lol checkerboard cheese, olives and blackberries with dill. i used gouda which slices so easily! #aestheticfood checkerboard food #pinterestfood
little bits of life lately ✨ soaking up all the little bits of life lately ✨ soaking up all the beauty that’s just like everywhere here, and also the maine style lobster roll we discovered tooooo
and would you believe i even cut some out!? the li and would you believe i even cut some out!? the list of quirks in this old house just keeps going and going! 😆💁‍♀️ #oldhouse #oldhouselove
the kids bathroom, pt 1?! the smallest and darkest the kids bathroom, pt 1?! the smallest and darkest room in the house and like zero storage, so i knew i wanted to spruce it up a bit right away just so we could use it more comfortably. i got the CUTEST scallop pendant light and little brass mirror from @bedbathandbeyond along with some other accessories to freshen it up, and we added a shelf across the sink wall for some much needed counter space. comment WANT for the links sent directly to your dms!! https://liketk.it/5lKLT i really thought a butter yellow bathroom could be cute, with the existing vintage tile but the room is so dark everywhere *except* directly next to the window so the color looks completely different on every wall! i started with a creamy yellow, and it ended up looking flesh toned, so i painted AGAIN and i don’t even know if i like yellow anymore? 😆 but i am so not interested in painting again right now so we’re gonna live with it for now... also, sink skirt yay or nay?!
the dining room is coming together thanks to @allm the dining room is coming together thanks to @allmodern!! say hello to the most PERFECT DREAM table that is not only so beautiful, it extends to seat 10 without having the ugly seam in the center!! i scoured the internet for HOURS before finding this perfect table and i’m totally obsessed!! and honestly i think i can even fit 12. @allmodern has so many beautiful entertaining pieces for holiday hosting too with fast + free shipping and hand-vetted quality designs, i’m so ready for all the autumn entertaining, now i just need the friends lol if you want the links for anything, just comment WANT and i’ll send em straight to your dms ♥️ https://liketk.it/5lC6w #allmodernpartner #modernmadesimple
