Weekly Reads and Fun Finds {8/8}

By Courtney 3 Comments

Happy weekend to you! I hope you all finished out the work week on a positive note and are ready to fully relax and enjoy the weekend. We don’t have too many plans on our agenda, although I’d feel pretty confident in saying that it will likely include some pool time and quite possibly some other sort of home-related purchase. But we shall see!

I haven’t been too consistent with these posts, but I did happen to keep track of some of my favorite reads and fun finds from this past week, so I’ve got a post to share with all of you. Have fun, and hopefully you’ll find something you like!

Thanks to my gal Chelsey, I ended up purchasing this sign yesterday. I’m even already 99% sure where I want to hang it and everything.

One of the things that’s been in the back of my mind is how the heck I’m going to decorate our large, decorative ledge in our foyer. I have a feeling it will not be a problem for holidays (hello, Christmas tree!), but every day is proving to be a struggle. I LOVE the lights and look of this one though…

How AWESOME does this look??? Totally doing this to our old, boring looking filing cabinet!

I really like the idea of having a chalkboard wall somewhere in the house, but also somewhere slightly discreet, like our mudroom. And also, much smaller than this one because that’s wayyyy more than I’d need!

But definitely a cool idea!

    Chalkboard walls are awesome! My BFF had one at her wedding last summer and ended up keeping it for her apartment in NYC :)
