1. The Band from TV Gig
1. The Band from TV Gig

I am so excited that this Saturday I will be seeing Greg Grunberg, Adrian Pasdar and the rest of The Band from TV perform at the Shore Club on South Beach! I’ll be sharing the adventure with fellow Miami blogger, Rosy, and will definitely be taking as many pictures and videos as humanly possible to share with all of you on Monday! My fangirl switch has definitely been turned all the way to 10, but I also have to say that it felt good donating to charity (which I try to do as much as possible). For those of you that are interested, tickets are still available and can be purchased here! I hope to see some of you there!

Office Remodel

office_moodboard

Please go easy on me as this is my first attempt at a mood board! I used to find them a little silly, but after searching for & plugging in some key pieces, I have to say that I am truly inspired and feel like I have more of an idea as to where I want to go with the room. So Melificent approves of this mood board craze! I would say to look out for more in the future, but after the office, we will not be adjusting anything for some time (that’s what they all say).

So for those of you that know us personally & have been to our home, you know that our “spare room/office” is kind of a disaster zone. Crap piled everywhere, gifts off our wedding registry that didn’t “fit” anywhere in our home, books galore, random toys, musical instruments, a torn up futon and the primary home of two rowdy Boston Terriers (& the reason for the torn up futon). Needless to say, it is screaming for a makeover. Bad. Want a peek? Here is the office on a very, very good day. Dark & dreary, right?

Some of my favorite things: CB2 edition

cb2

I just got the new CB2 catalog in the mail & loved so many things, I decided to make a post out of it! Hopefully by posting some of my favorite items, I can inspire some of you. And, for those that have never heard of CB2, welcome to the wonderful world of both class & fun! Without further ado, here are my picks for must-haves:

Comic appetizer plates
Comic appetizer plates

$1.95 ea.

How amazing are these little plates?? The comic appetizer plates definitely speak to the comic book fan in all of us and are perfect for summer cookouts in the patio. Plus, you can’t beat the price – grab them now while they are still on sale! I know I will be.

I’m currently enjoying my third Boston Lager (chill, I wrote this Thursday night) and I totally love it. Although I am a beer novice, only being introduced to the many joys a few months back, I absolutely love this one. Granted, it is no White ale (my personal favorite), but it’s delicious. It’s Friday, it’s time for celebration. Throw a few of these back in my honor. 😉

Weekend Highlights

Is it me or do the weekends seem to get shorter and shorter as time goes by?
I find myself gripping on to Sunday’s, hoping that they will never end, but fail.

Also irritating?
The fact that the weather has decided to be unbearably beautiful on weekdays and overcast & yucky on weekends. What’s up, Mother Nature?

I got the opportunity to swing by IKEA Friday afternoon to check out their patio furniture & was bummed to see a lot of the items I posted about last week either would not work or were out of stock (already!). Thankfully, I was able to mix & match some fun pieces I found and am super happy with the way it all panned out. Our patio is still not complete, but it is well on its way! For those of you interested in this look, it is made up of a Bollo folding table, 4 Marius stools in orange, 2 Majallby scented candles, Solig fly swatter and Solig solar operated lighting in white. Also, something that I didn’t pick up but thought was amazing was the Platta decking system, which has the power to turn any patio from blah to chic in two quick snaps! Unfortunately, I don’t know how smart that would be for us Floridians considering we would have to be removing & replacing the pieces with every hurricane threat. I wonder if there is a way to anchor them down?
