So about all the radio silence, I know my mother-in-law was checking in for new posts and was probably secretly disappointed, lol sorry Frieda. Now that life is starting to slow down a little bit again, here’s whats been happening…
I’m continuing to blog for Hello Yellow, a blog by Leon’s Furniture. Over the past two months I’ve been hauling @%$ with bedroom and dining updates in our home, hence why it’s been a little quiet around here. With that Leon’s will be launching a Summer Catalogue similar to Hello Holiday, curated with plenty of bright and summery content, keep those eyes peeled in June, Wooo!
Here’s a few sneak peeks of what we’ve been up too lately, and if you follow me on Instagram you’ve likely already seen some of these…How beautiful is that night stand over in the corner. If you like barn board, this piece is from the Pine Ridge Collection at Leon’s — I’m obsessed! And the boys in mid-day chill mode, heyyyy Paw Patrol, we love you!
This old ladder is from my dad’s shed and is now being used as a side table for our bed. The jute rope with the beads are plant hangers I miraculously whipped up to hang some plants in, but if your DIY isn’t so strong, Ikea came out with this amazing hanging plant holder!These chairs!!!
So the other day, the boys were putting soap in one of the empty water bottles sitting on the counter, I didn’t realize until after I filled the bottle up and began watering my fern that there were all these soap suds… thankfully this guy is still alive, phew!
We signed Jack up for soccer and this following weekend will be his third game. We’ve came to realize how much more he loves farming vs. sports, and that’s ok! On the other hand, Max loves kicking the ball around and he’s actually pretty good at it so maybe he’ll be our lil sports guy. Our backyard is known as Jack’s farm where he goes out in the morning to do chores, like feeding the cows and in the afternoon he plows the fields with his pretend tractor aka the lawn mower with the t-ball base attached. We don’t actually have a farm in our backyard FYI!
The boys are busier then ever and they fight like cats and dogs, but 1 second later they’re the bestest of friends. It’s been a blast watching the two of them grow closer and closer, sometimes people ask if they’re twins because they are almost the same size. Max is beginning to talk more and more. Every afternoon nap and before bed, Max always says “good-night Jacky” and waves, it’s the cutest thing. ever! Maxs loves his Daddy while Jack is the biggest momma’s boy. A few weeks ago, the boys and I found this dreamy place called Belgian Nursery where there’s thousands of cactus’ that vary in sizes, and every plant you can ever imagine. I’ll be sharing a post on this cool place soon ;)
I even scored a fiddle leaf fig — do you guys know how long I’ve wanted one of these!? I didn’t think they existed around my neck of the woods, was I ever wrong. He’s beautiful and is approx. 4 1/2 ft tall for $60, that’s a pretty good deal for around here.
A few Fridays ago, we had the privilege of having a few of the Leon’s team over to shoot our bedroom and dining area. It’s was a super cool experience and I’m so grateful to be apart of something like this, plus it was inspiring to witness how the whole process works in this kind of industry. Having the boys around the shoot was b-a-n-a-n-a-s, but we managed and I think I may have scared some of them from wanting to have children… or maybe they just thought my kids were nuts, welcome to my world!
And lastly, one of my BFF’s is getting married in June — I’m so excited and I can’t wait to be apart of her special day, it’s going to be absolutely beautiful!!
Thanks for stopping by,

Sounds like a ton of great stuff happening. I love that picture of your two boys watching TV in the bed. Too cute. I also love that ladder as a nightstand.

I love all the new home pics here and on Hello Yellow. I’ve just bought a new home and am taking all the decorating tips as possible. Thanks for the update!

We used to take our kids to Belgium nurseries for an ‘outing’ too! Do they still have the footbridge over the stream and a cactus room?
And hey I just suggested those dining chairs to Nicole for her new live edge walnut table that her dad is making for her…
Kassandra says
Hey Helen! Yes they still have the cactus room and I haven’t came across the footbridge yet! Those chairs are awesome ;)

For someone who works in the home textile industry, I love how you style your home.The pops of plants and the rustic dark brown ladder and nightstand makes the perfect minimal escape great job.

You have been extremely busy! I love that kitchen table and the nightstand. Such a great idea to take a ladder and make it into a nightstand.
Kassandra says
