FAVORITE HOME LOOKS

I’m loving the look of this painted black basement ceiling…Jay and I really wanted to put 9ft ceilings in the basement of our new home but we just couldn’t justify the price. So now we’re thinking of other options we might have instead of adding a drop ceiling – in order to keep as much of the height as possible.

If we were sitting on a ton of extra cash (which, we totally are not), I would absolutely LOVE to have a patio like this at our new home. I mean, how gorgeous is that??

    I must say that patios are a GREAT investment because of the enjoyment you can get out of them, if you're still considering. While my hubby recently left downtown San Francisco for more space outside the city, we weren't yet able to get a spot with a big backyard/patio but hope to one day. It may be cold too often in your area, but in the Bay Area, you can totally sit outside all day and night for many months of the year! We have friends who did a big re-do of their outside space and it's nearly paid for itself in smiles already from all of their other friends. hahha Perfect for entertaining. Happy Saturday, Court! :)

    My parents redid their patio three years ago and I so wish that they'd done it years earlier! We LOVE their fire pit!!

    We're about to start house hunting and I'm going out of my mind over it! Gahhh I don't want to leave my baby house behind [we built ours and I'm SO ATTACHED!] but I'm excited to move! That patio would be amazing if it were like, oh I don't know... free! =) A girl can dream! Thanks for featuring me schnookums! Happy Saturday!!!!

    Ohh I love that patio! Have to admit I am not a fan of the black ceilings at all - they remind me of a parade!

  • Parenting this amazing kiddo is not always easy, and almost always leaves me wondering what I’m doing wrong, or what I should be doing better. But this little note I received tonight was a perfect reminder to stop being so hard on myself, and to also remember to talk to Lucas about torsos 😊
