Upholstery Class: Week 4- Half 'n' Half

Heya Nesters! And a happy Monday morning to you all!  If you're a pop by on the regular, you know that I have been taking an upholstery for the past month. If you're new to TN take a peek at previous weeks: one, two and three.  This week I finally brought in my fabric after big time stressing about it tirelessly all week.

House Tour

Heya Nesters!  Don't you love it when you reconnect with old friends?  I have this friend, Brielle. I've known her for.ev.er.  Our dads are best friends from college and we grew up together doing many family activities together, since they lived only a few towns over.  Being a couple years older than me, she was someone I always admired.  She went away to school for design and as an onlooking high schooler about to start my college hunt, it was eye opening that one could get a degree in that. "Maybe I should start looking for schools with fashion design programs..." So I did and now I have a degree in that! But she lived far away for school and we didn't keep in touch much.  Since we've both been back in Beantown, and she {and her gentlemanly chef of a fiance, Brooks} is of course always invited to our family gatherings, we've gotten back in touch.  I'm so happy that she is an interior designer to boot because I can talk shop to her for hours on end and she doesn't mind! And her house is to-die-for.  I brought my camera on a little trip to Brielle and Brooks' home to show you guys some of her handywork.

Flip Flop

Heya Nesters! I am here and back in action!! If you caught last nights "post of the fly", my internet and phone were both down.  Luckily I had my cell as my means of backup so I could send you guys a little SOS note.  Anyhoo, lets get back to our regularly scheduled programming.  On Friday, I posted about Mud Rooms.  One of my most regular readers and commenters, KT over at KT's Refinishing School, mentioned she had to walk around the house in order to put her shoes away... and it got me thinkin'. My set up for my front apartment door, is a little ...well, backwards. 

Power Down!!

Heya Nesters! My lovely cable company decided not to inform me that phone and internet connection is currently down in my town. They have my cell phone number for a reason! Fantabulous! So it just hands me a forced yet much needed rest. So i'm sorry for being MIA but I hope they fix it super fast so we can be back on track tomorrow. So for now... I am just "posting" from my phone. Thank god for 3G! But this is all I can swing typing on my droid. SORRY!!

So stay tuned!!

Final fabric

Heya Nesters! Todays post is going to be a "quickie"!  Yesterday, I alluded to my upholstery fabric debacle... well let me tell you, choosing a fabric that is the perfect color and most importantly the perfect price.

Upholstery Class: Week 3

Heya Nesters!  Monday's just come on way too fast, don't they?  If you don't know, on Saturday mornings, I take this little upholstery class. And I am obsessed.  OBSESSED.  I love Mondays so I can gush to you about what I got done in class.  So let's start where we left off in week two. {See week 1 here!}

Gorgeous, ain't she?!

2 Year Anniversary

Follow my blog with bloglovin

Hiya Nesters!  Welcome to this special Saturday edition of Temporary Nest. Today is a special day for me.  Matt and I are celebrating our 2 year anniversary.  {It's actually Monday, but who wants to celebrate their anniversary on a Monday? Not us!} It may not seem ground breaking or even all that significant since we're not married or engaged. But Matt is so wonderfully special to me, if you haven't noticed by his frequent cameos in my adventures.  And I'll be honest, before him, I had never celebrated a first anniversary, let alone a second!  

If I Had a Million Dollars: Muddy Rooms

Heya Nesters!  I'm still looking for a coat rack in order to solve the throw-the-coat-on-the-chair syndrome.   I can't find one that tickles my fancy just right that I can paint and spruce up on the cheap.  I cannot stop thinking about this one...

The cute little boots, and wood pile make me think mudroom.  So that's why this week If I had a Million Dollars, I would have the most amazing mudroom on the planet.
