1) When I first laid eyes on the original bubble necklaces in J.Crew (even before they exploaded across the blogosphere), my heart fluttered. Since I rarely have a car payments worth of cash to drop, especially on a trend, I just admired from afar. Then a friend gave me the tip to look on ebay… Score. $15 for these knockoff beauts. As promised here, I wanted to share with you where to find them. Just search “J. Crew Bubble Necklaces” and it will pull up slews of them.

2) Raise your hand if you have paid more than $8 for a bottle of nailpolish? I admit I have, and unfortunately they chip just as easily as the next. I found this brand called Essence at Ulta. They are $1 mini bottles and work better than anything else I have! No joke. (Wearing above)

3) I could spend hours on etsy. I appreciate the creativity, love discovering unique finds, and love to support small businesses. I was thrilled to be introduced to Atlanta local, Courtney’s shop, Crafts and love. The style of her work is right up my alley, and the quality is just what you hope for when you order handmade. And best of all, the prices are affordable:)

Okay that’s all for now:) Have any fun ones to share?? I have a very cool giveaway going on tomorrow so stay tuned!

The True Beauty Files:
A lookbook for the modern modeste.
“The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It’s the caring that she lovingly gives, the passion that she shows & the beauty of a woman only grows with passing years.”

Breakfast Nook Views + Windsor Chair Round Up

We got these 4 dining chairs from West Elm 5 years ago. I love the the unique style, and how well they have held up through daily use. Since I get asked about them often I went ahead and did a hunt around the web for similar options and included a windsor chair round up below!

The Sectional Sofa We Chose + Top Recs

family sectional sofa - apt2b tuxedo

We are a family of 9 with only one sofa in our main hang spot. We have been really needing additional seating but have been hesitant to make such a big purchase without some proper research! Ordering a sectional involves a bit of gambling with a high price tag, so we took a lot of time to compare prices, materials, and lead times before deciding which one was best for our family.

The Pleated Plendant + Round Table Resources

pleated pendant - round pendant - breakfast nook

(Similar chairs here or here // Table)

I’ve been browsing for the right pendant that would work well in the breakfast nook space since the fall. I was really hoping for one that would work well with both adjoining rooms (kitchen and family room) because well, that’s how my brain works and I can’t ever seem to turn it off. I stumbled on a handmade clay pleated pendant on Etsy that took my breath away. Since the seller was based in Egypt, my head said don’t risk ordering over seas, but my heart said BUY IT NOW! Which won out? The heart of course!

The Kitchen Reveal Tour!

kitchen design - sage green cabinets

In many ways, this kitchen is the heart of our home. We spend hours a day here prepping meals, and an equal amount of time cleaning up. It’s where long conversations between Gabe and I happen late at night while we clean, and where we get the day started packing lunches before school in the morning. This is probably why it has been the most exciting project to see come to life. It hasn’t been without hurdles, intensive problem solving, and many nights in a makeshift kitchen. It’s been something we have really valued getting to share with our IHOD community, and we hope you feel like you learned something along the way! Today we are giving you the official tour, sources, and contractor info. It’s a hefty post so grab a cup of your favorite beverage and cozy up!
