Weekend Recap – Existence On Virginia Side road

Excellent morning! I am hoping you all had a phenomenal vacation weekend! Right here’s a bit of of what we’ve been as much as this previous week.

This put up accommodates associate hyperlinks on your buying groceries comfort. You’ll be able to learn my complete disclosure coverage right here.

House Initiatives & Updates

The brand new construct is nearly the entire method buttoned up now! We took our weekly Sunday stroll with Rachel and Chris over to look the growth on our side road. We were given side road lighting this week! Ours appears to be a bit crooked however optimistically the ability corporate continues to be operating on them. It’s amusing to look main points like this beginning to pop up!

Right here’s a facet view of our space so you’ll see the “lighthouse” taste entryway. Once more, it’s similar to our previous staircase in Omaha that wrapped midway and had home windows on 3 facets on the most sensible. This one will simply be about six toes taller!

Chris and Kurtis staring off into the gap on probably the most carriage homes Juliet balconies. Rachel and I have been most probably speaking about all issues tile, wall colours, and many others. they usually have been most probably discussing understanding or observing soccer. Ha!

We’ve our lights assembly for the brand new construct later this afternoon! I’m excited to fulfill with knowledgeable to lend a hand information me at the ridiculous choice of fixtures I’ve marked as “probabilities”. With our explicit builder, we’ve a lights price range that we will necessarily select to spend on the other hand we would like. If I need to take a look at and eek out each unmarried fixture I will be able to. If I need to blow all of it on one fabulous chandelier, I will be able to do this as neatly (fortunately lots of the rooms even have can lighting along with the central mild fixture so shall we at all times cap the central one to begin with and nonetheless move code). The price range sounds beneficiant till you recognize simply what number of lighting, ceiling lovers, exterior fixtures, and many others. that you want.

We’re pondering we’ll get what we would like for kitchen pendant lighting, our entryway (which shall be 24 toes prime so we’ll by no means need to alternate it once more), our eating mild, after which the exterior copper fuel lanterns (once more, now not one thing we’ll need to alternate), and pass from there. Fortunately thru our builder, they move at the industry pricing to us, so one of the crucial lighting are rather a bit of extra inexpensive than retail. I’ll stay you posted!

We popped into Hola Seashores the day past, in the end bringing a cloth cabinet over from Omaha that we’ve had in our storage for a couple of months. It was once amusing to look the growth at the portray! Truthfully, we have been doubting how a lot we have been spending at the interior and exterior paint (that have been each badly wanted), till we noticed the volume of prep paintings they’ve performed over the last week. They haven’t even began portray within but as a result of they spent all week prepping the rooms. We’d evidently be divorced at this level if we had attempted to do that ourselves! For the ones asking on Instagram the day past, we’re the use of the similar colours at the wall and trim/shiplap that have been already right here to save lots of on price. Partitions are SW Agreeable Grey (one in every of our favorites and what we at all times use in our Omaha long-term leases), and the trim and shiplap are all SW Natural White. It’s a in reality beautiful combo!

Whilst a crew has been within prepping, they have got began the trim paint at the exterior (SW Natural White). Simply seeing this entryway railing made me so excited. Most of the people gained’t understand, however we have been blown away at how other it seems with contemporary paint. I don’t suppose we discovered simply how badly it was once wanted (particularly for the reason that home is best 4 years previous)! However guy, that salt air does a host on issues down right here! They’ll even be repainting the entire blue, as neatly (SW Dockside Blue).

As soon as the entire portray is finished (they have got showed it’ll be by means of Saturday this week), we plan to get in and make a couple of extra decor updates! We’ve a good window each and every yr to make those updates and now not have an effect on our reservation time table too badly! I then plan to have the entire pictures and three-D excursion up to date on the record, for the reason that present pictures are over a yr previous and don’t display any of the updates we’ve already made! I’ll you should definitely proportion a brand new excursion as soon as it’s all in a position. We’ve numerous wheels in movement over there (and rather a lot extra to do at some point, however I’ve to remind myself we will’t do it ). Keep tuned!

Round The town & For A laugh

Kurtis was once out of the town for 4 days for paintings closing week, so I carved out a day to perform a little native buying groceries. There have been quite a lot of shops I’ve been that means to forestall into and it was once numerous amusing to look what number of nice native stores there are. Certainly one of my favourite spots was once The Studio Gallery positioned in Grayton Seaside. It options artwork from quite a lot of native artists, and was once the sort of glad little spot to discuss with.

If you happen to overlooked my put up on 2023 design tendencies, I shared this little good looks that I purchased whilst on the gallery. It’s an authentic by means of Susie Bettenhausen, who additionally occurs to be the gallery proprietor! She was once within the store that day and it was once amusing to fulfill since we each adopted each and every different on Instagram. She was once the sweetest, and I will be able to’t wait to return some day to get an excellent better piece for our new space!

Friday, my buddy Marissa and I made plans to wait the sidewalk sale at Becasa. We then popped into a couple of different stores within the space that I had by no means been to earlier than. Bohlert Massey is a gorgeous home decor and design retailer that was once amusing to wander. Maximum pieces have been neatly out of my price range however there was once such a lot good looks and inspiration!

New purpose in existence: develop a palm tree from a coconut. That they had a host in growth all over the retailer!

After a bit buying groceries, we headed to Havana Bar & Grill, within the iconic Pearl Lodge in Rosemary Seaside, for lunch. Kurtis and I’ve attempted to head quite a lot of occasions for dinner however by no means need to wait (and put out of your mind to make reservations), so it was once my first time there. We in reality loved it and it was once amusing catching up along with her!

I do know a lot of you like kitty updates! The elements has been gorgeous they usually’ve been spending numerous time outdoor. Bailey had to return to the vet this week for her glucose curve check-up. The vet not too long ago switched her insulin, however she’s nonetheless now not regulated. However she were given to spend an afternoon being pampered on the vet (as opposed to the occasional ear pricks) and loves all of her buddies there! They now let her have her personal non-public room, relatively than a kennel, whilst she’s there as a result of she’s so candy they usually’re ok along with her roaming. She’s advanced rather the fan membership over there 🙂

Hawkeye has been additional mischievous in recent years, and has determined he doesn’t like closed doorways once more. During the day (and evening), he’ll randomly open our bedroom door. I believe it’s most commonly for consideration and when he thinks he’s ravenous. He actually simply jumps up, grabs the take care of with each bars, and has it open in seconds. It’s one thing he hasn’t performed for 5-10 years however he’s determined he likes it once more. Remember that, we’ve now been locking our bedroom door at evening!

Henley hunted down a rogue massive mosquito this weekend. If we see her up on a counter or operating round the home, it’s in most cases as a result of she discovered a worm – irrespective of how small. Humorous sufficient, I believe this was once the primary one she’s discovered since we moved to Florida!

Saturday evening we went out to dinner with our buddies Chris and Rachel. They prefer to devour early like we do, so afterwards we headed to our space for a bit of. As maximum of you understand, Henley is the sweetest little factor, however could also be fearful of most of the people in our space. She has her make a choice few that she loves and it appears a type of folks is Rachel! Humorous sufficient, Rachel and I sat in the lounge for a bit of whilst the blokes have been outdoor chatting, and Bailey jumped correct up and snuggled into her too. She’s indubitably extra of a canine individual however they don’t care 😉

Whilst the blokes have been outdoor Saturday evening, they have been ready to get our integrated hearth and grill operating! In a while once we moved in, Kurtis had attempted to paintings the grill however the fuel have been close off (or one thing I don’t perceive). However he and Chris were given them each operating and now it looks like we’ve a complete new yard! Now we simply want our crops to return again from the laborious freeze!

Sunday evening, Kurtis used our “new” grill to make our first out of doors steaks on this space. It was once a gorgeous implausible sundown that evening too!

We attempted a brand new spot for dinner closing evening, when I used to be yearning sushi. We headed to Shaka and in reality loved it! We took a snappy detour on our method home to pressure by means of the home. The sky from the sundown was once so gorgeous on our side road! Ours is the only with simply the plywood at the right-hand aspect about midway down the road.

We’ve a hectic week forward with alternatives for the home all seeming to return due relatively briefly! It feels like I can have to pick our countertop slabs, along with the lights I discussed above, but this week. I’ve spent a while desirous about lights (I’ll proportion extra on that quickly) however truthfully haven’t performed a lot in the way in which of counter tops. Confidently one thing will talk to me once we display up! We’re excited for Hola Seashores to get wrapped up too!
