the cutest drink markers (and/or place settings)! the cutest drink markers (and/or place settings)! use whatever ribbon you have lying around, would also be so cute with different color ribbons 🎀

tape down to a flat surface to make it easier to write, i found a felt tip marker worked best on my ribbon but i bet a fine tip sharpie would be good too
some photos as of late — — it’s been so fu some photos as of late — 

— it’s been so fun to have gigi visit (and for those asking, she wanted to move here pretty much within an hour of arriving) 
— just feeling grateful every single day for the scenery and the proximity to the beach 🥹 and also got to wear a [light] sweater a few times this week!

i knew right away when we got this house i wanted i knew right away when we got this house i wanted to make the kids a little secret cozy magical nook! what do we think?!

i got the cutest rug and beanbags and wall bookshelf from @bedbathandbeyond, added some colorful window film, made a canopy to feel like you’re inside of a tent and lots of glowy star lights. sort of want to hand paint some fun shapes (or stars to keep it really themey) all over too?

if you want the links for everything, comment WANT and i’ll send em straight to your inbox!

three lights later and i think maybe this is the o three lights later and i think maybe this is the one!? sorry for the rice paper shade haters — but i love how this one doesn’t compete with my table and chairs and view but just adds a softness and glowiness the room needs. 

still need paint and curtains in here but it’s coming along! still totally obsessed with our table and i promised a few of you i’d do another demo of how freaking easy it is to extend it. to have an expandable table without the ugly seam in the center! DREAM!

third times a charm right!? i actually don’t eve third times a charm right!? i actually don’t even think i showed you that i swapped the pendant light here again and wasn’t happy with it (hence the secrecy) but i just could not face our electrician to have him swap it again 😆

now we’ll save so much money doing it ourselves! except for the whole constantly swapping out lights part!
nothing *spectacular* yet, but some then and now p nothing *spectacular* yet, but some then and now photos so far! 

day by day and corner by corner it’s feeling more and more like home here
