Bits -n- Pieces

Hi there!   Can you believe it is the last week of October?  I didn't mean to disappear, but oh well, you know how life can get.   October has been very good to us (me).   It kicked off with a quick visit back east to visit my girlfriends in Boston (solo - sans kids).  It was exactly what this mama needed.  I am a better mama these days as a result!! :)

Lately, I am trying to figure out how best to balance all school/home demands with decorating/blogging our home.  With only two mornings a week without kids, it can get challenging.  I have become more reliant on IG with quick posts here and there.  Sorry, for the repeat of pictures.

This is a recent picture of the antique gate leg table I inherited from my in-laws.  If you like antiques, I highly recommend the gate leg table - such a versatile piece.  With the folding sides, you will surely find a place for it in your home.  And, I love the eucalyptus I purchased from Trader Joe's.

I finally found an affordable vintage cherry chest for our entry.  I can't believe my luck with this purchase.  While driving a different way the other day, I passed a furniture consignment store and saw a 'sale' sign posted in the window.  I stopped in and saw this beauty!!  I think you would die if I told you how much I paid for her. It was meant to be.  I am not sure if I'll be keeping her in our entry, but I like her there now.

I am SO happy with these two pieces of furniture - good bones and lines.  It makes me so happy that they are in our home.
