Taste of Tuesday: Pineapple Whip!

If you liked the Panty Ripper from last week, you will looooovvveee this!

Ingredients:

Oh, How Pinteresting: Home Office Edition!

Happy Wednesday, loves! If you follow me on Pinterest, then you know I've been posting office ideas like a crazy person! Now that we've finished painting our dining room and are finalizing the decor items and color scheme, my mind is wandering to our next project: our home office {which is still a storage disaster zone}. I want something with a whimsy, feminine touch and Tyler wants to put golf stuff and animal heads on the wall - real, once-alive animal heads.. There will be a definite compromise for this room! ;) And if a paint brush jumps into my hands, with the color of my choice, while he's traveling for work... so be it! Just kidding - sort of.

Here are a few of my home office inspirations! I definitely want it to be light, bright and airy... something with a bit of whimsy and coziness that portrays both Tyler and I.

Taste of Tuesday: Panty Ripper!

Hey there! To be completely honest, there hasn't been a lot of cooking going on at our house... more like fast food, take out and going out to eat. It's been a busy few weeks and grocery shopping didn't even make an appearance our numerous lists. Maybe next weekend?!

As some of you know - we've been painting our dining room. One thing that goes great with late night painting sessions are tasty adult beverages. So I'm switching it up for this weeks Taste of Tuesday.. I give you my favorite fruity drink, the Panty Ripper - Jessica style. Usually a "panty ripper" consists of pineapple juice and rum, but I've altered it a bit - for the better, of course! And I don't know about y'all, but I could use one of these bad boys right about now...

What you'll need:

Mixed fruit juice of choice

- 1 shot Pineapple Rum

- 1 shot Peach Vodka

I hope you enjoy this as much as I do! :)

Weekend Recap: Painting the Dining Room!

How is it Monday already?? This weekend went by waaayyyy too fast, if you ask me! Maybe it's because we've spent literally the last two weekends painting our dining room, which hasn't turned out to be an easy task. Between taping off all of the crown molding, base boards, chair rails and inserts, two coats of paint for the walls, painting the ceiling and painting the said molding, chair rails and inserts - we had our work cut out for us! Let's just say that the previous owners didn't care take the time to make sure their paint job was done the right way. All the beige we were trying to cover up was splattered all over the crown molding! We do see the light at the end of this painting tunnel! We only have the top crown molding left and we are done painting the dining room! We will have that done this week. We love the blue that we picked... such a huge difference!

Here's a few pieces that we're envisioning for our dining room. We want to incorporate yellows, corals, grays and white into the room - we think it will play off of the navy color that we picked for the walls!

 Paint // 3D wall art // Curtain Fabric // Light Fixture // Floral // Chairs // Floral // Vase // Rhino Head

Let's get this week going so we can get to the weekend! We've got some decorating to do!!

Taste of Tuesday: Spaghetti Squash Options

 Happy Tuesday, friends! I've been wanting to try spaghetti squash for a while now, but have been a little intimidated by it... and by intimidated I mean I'm not sure if I'll like it.  After researching, and seeing, some recipes I've found a few that really peaked my interest! I'm a huge carb pasta lover, so I'm interested to see how I like this version of 'spaghetti'. This is such a great way to cut the carbs, so hopefully one {or all} of these recipes are keepers! I'll let you know!

Paint Samples Galore!

Hi friends! I need your help!! We are trying to decide which paint color we want for our dining room. Here are the options.. 

A little background: Our living room colors are yellow and gray and we are going to accent with teal and navy with some floral pops of pink... that's the idea anyway! Since we're accenting with a navy in the living room, I think we should carry that color, more substantially, into the dining room - for cohesiveness. So that's where the blue color choices come in! 

 We're leaning toward sample 4! What do y'all think?

Post your replies in the comments section or e-mail me.. we are planning to paint this weekend!

 Happy Wednesday!
