Happy Sunday!

Currently:

Reading– Jenna Lyons’ life lessons.  I think we could learn a lot from her, no matter the industry.

Writing– A guest post for another blog.  More on that later!

Thinking– I wouldn’t mind grabbing a glass of wine at Starbucks every now and then.

Wishing– I could take the whole week off work to get this house in order!  It’s a bit overwhelming, and pretty much impossible to do a weekend at a time.

Hoping– That dry, sunny weather is here to stay!

Loving– This mantra lately.  Easier said than done, but it’s something to strive for.

Wanting– This shirt.  It pretty much sums up how I feel about life.

Needing– Another day in this weekend.

Feeling– Excited about some pretty fabulous guest bloggers I have coming up in the next couple of months!

Clicking– These lies that TV tells us.  Oh how true!  (But Friends is still my favorite show!)

Hop on over to Lauren’s blog to see what she and other bloggers are up to!

Have a super week! :)

Better late than never, right?

If you follow me on Instagram, you know that we had a very busy weekend.  Thanks to A LOT of help from my parents, Charles’ mom, and my aunt, the house is starting to look more like a home.  YAY!!!

Currently:

Reading– About the restoration of this classic Greek revival home.  And I thought our project was a big one!  This house is immaculate…I love it!!

Thinking– How good it is that I didn’t start shopping TJ Maxx’s home section until last week.  My wallet thanks me.  When everything is that cheap, I WANT IT ALL.

Smelling– Coffee…a must this morning.

Wishing– This nasty weather would go away.  No sunshine in our forecast until at least Thursday. Not cool, Mother Nature.  Not cool.

Hoping– NC State will do well in the NCAA tourney! So excited they got a bid!

Wearing– Green!  Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

Wanting– To try out some yummy St. Patty’s Day recipes, like this, this, or this!

Loving– Paloma’s list of stylish housewarming gifts. I love them all, especially the custom house portrait!

Needing– A nap.

Feeling– Incredibly sore. We put in two 12 hour days at the house this weekend, including sealing the roof, cleaning, unpacking, and arranging some furniture.  Today my whole body hurts, and I would give anything for a massage!

Clicking– My new Pinterest favorite, Kathleen DiPaolo.  Her style is spectacular!

Happy Sunday! I hope everyone remembered to set their clocks forward.  I’m so thankful to have longer days!

Currently:

Reading– About these DIY plywood floors! They look incredible! I’d love to do something like this in our attic one day.

Listening– To the same old same old. My commute to work is almost an hour (driving), so I usually listen to Pandora radio.  But lately I’ve been wanting something a little more interesting.  Possibly a podcast or a certain talk radio station.  I don’t have the attention span for books on tape, so forget about that.  Any recommendations?

Thinking– I need to order some prints for the house.  Nations Photo Lab is having a 50% off sale through Tuesday on prints 16×20 and larger!

Hoping– This spring weather sticks around! If you’ve been following for a while, you know that I LOVE cold weather, but I’ve about had it this year! I’m ready for warmer weather and longer days!

Loving– This gorgeous antique brass kitchen island! It would fit perfectly in the space where the fridge used to go that we have no idea what to do with.  Now who wants to buy it for me? ;)

Wanting– To go shopping! I’ve been fighting it by window shopping some Spring favorites:

Needing– Your opinion.  What are your thoughts on Hunters Alley? I have several items listed there, but don’t particularly love the steep fee, and have had some issues with their customer service being incredibly rude.  Thinking of maybe switching to Etsy.  What are your thoughts? What selling avenue do you prefer?

Feeling– Sore! This was our first week back in the gym since Christmas for Charles and since my surgery for me. I’ve definitely been sore, but also energized at the same time. I forgot how good it feels to release those endorphins!

Clicking– These epic fails that are just….epic.  (Side note: I was trying to pull the cap off the new laundry detergent this week and it sprung up and hit me right in the eye before bouncing off several corners and falling behind the washer. If it had been filmed, it would have made the cut.  Just ask Charles.)

And I’ve got just one more for you that I couldn’t pass up sharing…check out these unbelievable historical photos!

Have a happy week! :)

Happy Sunday! How is it March already?! Wasn’t it just New Year’s??

This week’s Currently is going to be a little different.  I’m actually writing this on Friday because Charles and I will be at the beach all weekend.  He took the bar exam this past week, and has been cramming non stop for the past few months, so we are both in need of a vacation! I’m looking forward to a quiet, relaxing weekend away with the hubs!

Currently:

Writing– A little more snail mail. I loved sending a little mail to a few of you last week.  If you signed up, don’t worry–your mail is coming soon!  You can find out how to sign up for my Snail Mail Project here.

Thinking– How happy I am that the bar exam is over and I can have my hubby back! That thing has been a dark cloud over both of us for too long.  Now we can finally get settled into life in the new house!

Hoping– My first sale makes it to its new home! I was so excited to ship this pretty piece off. I’m loving Hunter’s Alley!

Wearing– Skinny jeans, a sweater, and my favorite leopard scarf.  I also decided to take my nails back to neutral and went with one of my favorites: OPI Bubble Bath.

Loving– This adorable zebra desktop wallpaper by Fabulous K!

Wanting– One of Ashley‘s gorgeous paintings. I “discovered” her shop through Instagram (got to love Insta!) and am totally hooked.  I think I’ll start saving up for this beauty!

Needing– These four ingredient Nutella brownies.  Enough said.

Feeling– Overwhelmed by all the love and support y’all have shown me regarding the rebranding!  I absolutely love the new site, and I’m glad y’all do too! (Thanks again, Tasha!)

Clicking– This showcase of interesting features in different homes.  Would you like to have any of these in your home?

You can see what other bloggers are up to this Sunday over at Lauren’s blog.  And you can catch up on my past Currently’s here.

Have a happy week! :)
