{B&A: New Chairs + my favorite flower}

I have had these chairs for almost a year now. I got them at a random flea market while I was out of town for $50. When I first had them, they were maple and the cushions reminded me of an old pew fabric. I sprayed them a beigey color and now with their new cushions, they are perfect. {I am obsessed with this trellis pattern!}


{Before: I realize I forgot to take a picture of the cushions before, but they were BAD.} {After: I am in love with my new chairs. Reupholstering is so expensive but so worth it}

{This is my favorite time of the year, the hydrangeas are out, love going to my Mimi's and getting a ton of these limelight hydrangeas}

someone has a case of the mondays.

Its meWe had a great weekend even though it rained the majority of the time. We had some pretty solid plans, but they got rained out. Race for the Cure, I was signed up, but I wasn't signed up to race in the pouring rain, so I did my own version of sleep in for the cure. I saw in the Sunday paper that they still had quite a turnout, so that is awesome. Also, planned of going to RazorFest and the Red & White game, that was a no go as well. Freezing cold, wet bleachers, no thank you. So, we had a few people over for dinner, drinks and games {side note: it did get a little crazy, there were pictures being taken, I don't have them, but I want them!}. It was a blast. Sunday we slept in{oops}, watched The Holiday {random, I forgot it was a Christmas movie} and went to my Mimi's for dinner. Here are some pics from Sunday evening.First, the hubs surprised me with this on Friday, he said it looked like something I would like, he's right- I must have trained him well!I wasn't kidding when I talked about my gma's gardens they are insane!

I figured this was at least a $50 worth of flowers from a florist, so gorgeous!

Snowball bush, I love these, they are like mini hydrangeas.

Meatball subs for dinner

Yes, they have a peacock, his name is Leo

Got home at about 10 o'clock last night and stayed up until 11 arranging these!

{Wonderful Weekend}

{freshly picked flowers found a home]

Well, its official, vacation is over. Back to work. Aren't Mondays wonderful? We had a nice weekend, even though the hubs didn't feel great. Saturday we had one of those days where you look at the clock and its mid afternoon and your still in your pjs, it was such a gray day. We just watched movies and I cooked a great dinner.

Sunday, we went to my Mimi & Pop's house for lunch. When you have both families in the same town, it is a blessing, but its hard on holidays. We are doing Easter with the hubs side, so that left Palm Sunday with mine. We had such a good time. I brought mac & cheese and my sister & I made the strawberry shortcake that I've been dying for. So Good! I love my grandparent's house. I feel so comfortable there, like I could take the best nap of my life at any time. My Mimi has the most incredible gardens, I always go over in the Spring and summer and pick the most beautiful flowers. I picked a ton of daffodils and forsythia that ended up in my living room. I love how free flowers can be such a mood lifter and so pretty. I strive to have an ounce of the green thumb that she has.

Chad and my sister left mysteriously after lunch together and came back with this...{my favorite pattern, sittin in a tree, Vera Bradley laptop case}

What a great guy. I have a wonderful husband that I take for granted sometimes. He is always doing sweet little things like that. He means so much to me and I hope he gets to feeling better.

Hope this work week flies by! Can't wait till next weekend!
