Tory Burch’s Southampton Home

May 14, 2015Categories: DecorSarah @ 702 Park Project

It’s been over 3 years since Vogue first shared a peek inside Tory Burch’s home, and I’m still as in love with it as I was then! This Southampton manor, built in 1929, boasts 25 rooms, sunken tennis courts, a basketball court, a pool, a skateboard ramp, and an outdoor pizza oven. What’s not to love?!

What do you think? Would you live here? (Hint: the answer is either “yes” or “I’m an idiot.”)

DIY Window Coffee Table

May 13, 2015Categories: FurnitureSarah @ 702 Park Project

Did you catch the porch makeover reveal last week as part of the One Room Challenge? I had so much fun pulling everything together, but was definitely trying to stick to a tight budget. I couldn’t find a coffee table I loved for the upstairs porch in my price range, so I decided to make my own!

This window isn’t just any old window. It’s one from the church where I grew up, and where Charles and I were married. So to be able to use it as an integral part of our porch wax extra special.

As for the DIY, this one was about as easy as it gets. Let’s get started!

1. Paint the table legs. I picked up 4 legs for less than $20 at Lowe’s. Two coats of spray paint and I called it good.

2. Scrape any loose paint off the window. To maintain the rustic I didn’t want to scrape off too much. Just enough to get the loose pieces off.

3. Screw in corner brackets, two per leg.

Voila!! Wasn’t that easy?

What’s On Your…Bookshelf?

May 12, 2015Categories: What's On YourSarah @ 702 Park Project

Welcome to the What’s On Your series, a blog hop with some of my very favorite blogger friends! Once a month, we will each give you a small glimpse into our lives by sharing one little corner of our homes.

Today, we’re sharing what’s on our bookshelves. We have a few bookshelves throughout our house, but my favorite by far is the brass etagere in our formal living room. This was a thrift store find for $40 and remains one of my best finds ever!

You may have noticed this book on the shelf. My sweet blog friend Kristy had her first book published, and I actually got to meet her and have it signed last week! I gave it to my mom for Mother’s Day (she loved it!), and I have definitely called next in line. Go check it out!

Be sure to check out what these ladies have on their bookshelves. I can promise you it’s something good!

This Week’s Links

May 10, 2015Categories: This Week's LinksSarah @ 702 Park Project

Happy Sunday, and Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms out there, especially my mom. You make the world a better place, and I love you more than you know.

Now for a few links from this week…

Although controversial, I loved this article. For me, Garance hit the nail on the head. You won’t find any white jeans and skinny thighs here, and that’s fine by me. (PS, thanks Victoria for pointing me to this!)

I’m proud to know that 18 sites in NC have been added to the National Register of Historical Places!

This kitchen. Enough said.

12 tricks to appear smart in emails. Hilarious!

I was just talking with my mom last night about how I was trying to get better about accepting compliments. I tend to fend them off with a witty retort that usually happens to undermine the compliment, as well as myself. I really enjoyed this article about how lots of women do just that.

I’m very discreetly slipping my newest venture in here…I’ve started a little side content management business called Milly Media. I’ll share more on that later, but just know that I am extremely excited!!
