posted on : September 14, 2018

This is my bucket of the things I would like to do while still living here in the sunshine state…

Hello

Hi love, I'm Kim, mom to my three little rascals (Lucas, Liem & Maya Linh). We are a family of 5 living in just over 1600 sq. ft in sunny Florida. I'm here to share my love for creating beautiful spaces that you will love no matter how big or small and messy life gets. So grab a coffee and let's create together!

    Let's be Friends on Instagram
    This is how I look at the end of every week lol. S This is how I look at the end of every week lol. So time to recharge. ad Sundays are usually days where I get some uninterrupted time all to myself. Some days I spend it with you in stories and some days I work on projects. 

Today, I shared some bathroom organization tips in stories. Now I am indulging in self-care and will be relaxing here on my bed with my @yankeecandle Smoked Vanilla & Cashmere candle lit (the perfect fall fragrance) from the new Signature Collection and catching up on my favorite tv shows. What are some of your favorite self-care routines?

    Part 1 of the playroom is complete. Gosh, I can’ Part 1 of the playroom is complete. Gosh, I can’t tell you how excited I am to have this reading nook for the kids. I am hoping this space continues to nurture my oldest’s love for reading and maybe the other two will follow suit. 

Last month all their books were sitting on picture ledges and every time you went to grab a book, 10 would fall to the ground.  Now they have a functional space where they can sit on these beautiful and most comfortable gifted @Article #NordChair while reading all their favorite books. 

I’ve opted to keep the slat wall natural for now. I may change my mind once the rest of the room is done, although I am loving it in its current state. What do you guys think? #ourarticle

    This reading corner for the boys that I have been This reading corner for the boys that I have been talking about the past month is finally coming to life. It took a few tries but I think I am finally happy with where it is going. 

I am excited to have this space, especially for my oldest who loves to read. He is that kid that is reading while walking, from one class to another, from the house to the car, at the dinner table, while he is putting on his clothes🙈. It is one of the reasons why we are always late to everything. It drives me wild but also makes me so happy at the same time lol. 

What do you think, keep the wall natural, paint it dark or paint an arch/shapes on it?

    The boys have already started their countdown to H The boys have already started their countdown to Halloween. 33 days to go. What is your favorite trick or treat candy? We pretty much all fight for the Twix bars. 

Today Krystle @perkinsonparkway and I did a 1 day Halloween DIY. What do you think of my skull floral arrangement? Swipe to see it up close. I may paint it black. I made a few other simple decor to add to the office as well. Will give you a quick tour in stories soon.

    It feels like 95 today but Fall has arrived to my It feels like 95 today but Fall has arrived to my front porch. 

It all started with a quick grocery run to Costco. Then, I couldn’t pass up the $10.99 mums even though I have a history of killing them in record time😩. It then quickly lead to a full Fall porch refresh, lol,  so here we are. 

What do you think?

    My kitchen had a whole month off while we were awa My kitchen had a whole month off while we were away. Now that we are back, it is working overtime.  If you were following along in stories, my goal was to start drinking more water. Well, on day one I shared my attempt by adding lemons to it and you all came at me lol. Apparently too much lemon water is NOT a good thing for your teeth 😬. EPIC FAIL! 

In addition to my goal of drinking more water, I want to be eating healthier to get rid of that co vid15. Lots of salads in my future so I got these cute oil and vinegar dispensers and so of course I had to make a riser to display it. Easiest diy ever 👐🏻 if you want to check it out in my stories. 

So let me know what some of your favorite healthy meals are. I’ll share some over the next few weeks in stories in case you need ideas. And if you’re on the same boat, let’s do this together! 💪🏼

    My house is completely spotless, from top to botto My house is completely spotless, from top to bottom. I made sure of it. I was cleaning like a mad lady the entire day before we left. Fresh clean bedding on everyone’s bed because our bed is what I look forward to most when we return, even if it’s only for one night before our next trip 🙈.

    ✨Side Table Progress✨ I decided to give the $ ✨Side Table Progress✨

I decided to give the $20 side table I had on my front porch a little makeover with a $500 table as inspiration. I used the pine boards from the plant wall that I took down in my lanai. 

And Look how cute she turned out guys! Swipe to see the before. 

I still need to stain it but I am absolutely loving it. 

What should I do with the smaller round board? A smaller version of this table, a cheeseboard, a riser, a step stool? What do you want to see?

    Window casings are done and our bedroom makeover i Window casings are done and our bedroom makeover is officially completed. This was an easy DIY with minimal tools but definitely made a big impact to the room. To make our bedroom extra cozy, I layered in these beautiful chevron faux mink throw pillows and blanket from the new Loom + Forge collection at @JCPenney. (ad) Not only does it add texture to the space but it is so soft and cuddly that somehow it always ends up in the kids’ room. I'm sharing a bedroom tour today in stories so head on over for a closer look. #AllAtJCP
