Boomerang Tables and Baby News!

Hey friends! We were really excited to find out we are having a boy! Bring on the snips and snails and puppy dog tails! Baby boy sure has been kicking up a storm this past week. It's all starting to feel so real!

Here are a few shots of us celebrating the news at our favorite, local Thai food, Thai Star.

And here is my official 20 week shot:

In other news, the living room is almost done. Just a few more final details, but I wanted to show you our fabulous curbside save! I'll admit I was a bit skeptical when we first drove past this boomerang coffee table. Thankfully, Nick saw the potential. I love it so much! I know it's not everyone's cup of tea, but who else owns something like this? I mean, come on!

Fyi, we used Behr paint in Elephant Ear Gray.

And here is our living room in progress! We also found a sweet piece at Goodwill that will soon be our TV stand, but it's still in the garage, waiting for a good sanding and painting.

I'm liking that it's turning out to be sort of a mid-century mod/ bohemian mix!

I Heart Emily from Design Star

Anyone out there an HGTV Design Star fan? We have an itty bitty cable package that we'd like to get rid of, because we don't watch much tv and could easily catch our favorite shows (SNL and The Office) online. Problem is, we'd have to pay big bucks to get out of our $20 a month contract early. So, I flip on good ol' HGTV from time to time to get my money's worth:)

Here is my ode to Emily Henderson, a finalist on Design Star, who embodies all that is effortless, vintage, bohemian chic! Last night's glass house challenge was amazing. I wish I could find a photo of her room. It rocked! I love her down to earth personality too... it really translates into her designs. She has my vote fo sho!

This is a shot of her home office, where she blogs every morning. Sweet!
