a lazy weekend

Top o' the Monday to ya!

We had big plans to put new flooring down in the kitchen, but the tiles didn't come in, so that's going to have to wait for another weekend. {Gotta love a good excuse to procrastinate!} We're going with Armstrong's Gentian Blue and (a name I can't remember) white checkerboard, and once that's finished we're going to replace the counter tops with butcher block.

We've got old white painted steel and glass cabinets, which are space age awesome, but some of the glass has broken over time and is near impossible to match. Instead we're thinking of using an oiled luan that will match the counters, with an over sized circle cut out to open and shut them. I see it in my mind as clean and modern, but I also wonder if it could come out looking really trailer trashy bad.

Speaking of trashy bad---well, not trashy, but bad. And hilarious.

Instead of all that fancy housework, we got Mabel back on schedule with her sleep, a task far greater and far more rewarding than new floors. For real.

How 'bout you? What did the weekend hold in store?


A few blogs I sopped up like gravy on a biscuit this past weekend:

Thanks for the shoutout!

I'd like to know more about sleep schedules than decorating. Sigh. sigh. sigh. This is what my life has come to.

love the blue...I like reading all your posts :)

I'm digging the color scheme! We put in Ikea butcher block (the thick ones) 2+ years ago and treated them with "Tried and True" brand Danish oil, and they are terrific. You will loooove them!

Erin--You're welcome. You gals are hysterical. And sleep schedules? Who needs such monotony?

Jeana--yes, a few nights of sound sleep is pretty amazing, though somewhat miraculous! We're all in the same restless boat, it seems.

Kate--That's so good to hear. Maybe they'll inspire us {and instill in us the talent} to whip up some tasty meals like you make!
