Good morning! I hope you all had a great weekend! Here’s a bit of what we’ve been up to this past week.

Home Projects & Updates
Thank you all so much for all of your kind words on our New Florida Home Tour I shared last week! I mentioned this in my Weekend Sale post but nearly everything from Serena & Lily that we have in our home is now at the lowest price I’ve seen. I stalked these chairs for months and months and the best discount I ever found was 18% off. They’re now 40% off and everything ships for free. It’s pretty crazy and definitely worth checking out if you’ve had your eye on something!
LIVING ROOM SOURCES: Sofas (read my full review here) | Chairs | Coffee Table | Indoor/Outdoor Striped Rug | Linen Pillows | Patterned Pillows | Oversized Baskets | Vase | Similar Grapewood Branch | “Surf Tribe” | “Joie” | “Summer to Summer” | Ceramic Urchin Catchall | Woven Chandeliers | Swivel Counter Stools
I started working on a bit more Christmas decor over the weekend. I still have a ways to go, but here are the two garlands I’ll be using this year (faux cedar and faux Norfolk pine). They’re both still in stock!
I ended up ordering this woven tree collar in the larger size for our 9′ tree, since all my others were just a smidge too small. This is all very much a work in progress, but had to laugh when Hawkeye turned the inside into his little fort. Henley was not happy about it. I’ll be using these orange stems in the tree too.
Here they were when I styled them in our entryway a few weeks ago.

Our builder had some crews here last week working on some one-month punch list items. To the surprise of nobody, Hawkeye scaled the 10′ ladder.
I also looked out of my office at one point and he was sitting on one of the steps just watching one of the guys sanding and painting. He’s such a character!

In Case You Missed It
Following are the posts I shared over the past week, in case you missed some days!
Around Town & For Fun
On Halloween, our friends convinced us to walk a section of the neighborhood, thinking our street would be pretty quiet. So, we left a bowl of candy on the porch and headed out. There’s a section of our neighborhood that has quite the street party, with drinks and food for adults too. It was a really fun night!
Kurtis had a test done early Wednesday morning that required anesthesia, so we had a 5:30 am departure for the hospital. Thankfully everything went well and the results were positive. It also happened to be the same morning a massive cold front came in and it was in the low 40’s when we left the house, with high winds. It called for my first batch of vegetable soup that afternoon! I never follow a recipe, I just start with chicken broth or stock and diced tomatoes. Then I just add whatever fresh veggies we have handy like carrots, onions, celery, squash, spinach, etc. I then just season it to taste with salt, pepper, chili powder and Italian seasoning. It’s always so yummy and gets even better as leftovers the next few days!
We didn’t have golf class on Wednesday evening like we normally do, so we all met for a happy hour on Thursday instead! We love this group of ladies we met through golf! We also had a fun post-golf game lunch at Amigos on Friday with a new golf friend.
I’ll never get sick of this view whenever we leave dinner in the 30Avenue area. Between Cuvee, Amigos, Aja and Idyll Hounds, I think I was there four+ times last week 😉
I had to work on a few photoshoots and campaigns on Sunday, and the cats are always so “helpful”. We had cooked quite a bit of food, and in typical-for-their-personalities-fashion, Bailey was on the floor begging for food, Henley just jumped right into the tablescape and demanded food, and Hawkeye scaled the ladder, walked the screen frame, and was just going to feed himself. Ha!
Walking home from hanging out with a few friends last night, and the sky was definitely showing off! We were home by 6:30, but since we’re in the beginning of the Central time zone, the sun now sets at 4:55 here. Thank heaven for all of the Christmas lights that are now popping up after Halloween!
We have a super exciting week ahead as our Omaha besties and goddaughters arrive Wednesday night. They’ll be here for nearly a week, so we’re really looking forward to it! The girls are at such fun ages and the weather should be beautiful, so we’re hoping to add some fun activities to the agenda. Zoe still asks for hot dogs from the beach club, so I’m sure we’ll make a few trips down there for her 😉

Pam Mariner Good says
Your new home is absolutely beautiful! I wanted to ask you about the new Serena and Lily chairs you have. I have two cats, and I wonder how your cats are reacting to the chairs. The chairs are so pretty! My cat Chevy, I fear, would shred the back of the chairs. Do your cats bother them at all? Chevy has two scratching pads in our living room and she loves those, but she still sometimes digs into furniture!
Sarah says
Thank you so much! So far the only issue we’ve encountered with the chairs is that Henley has claimed one as her own. She sits on the top of the back cushion and even when I have her get down, she goes right back to it. I’m guessing over time, that cushion is going to wear more quickly, as I already have to fluff it often. I also wanted the blue linen which isn’t a performance fabric like several of the other options. So hopefully it will clean up okay if there is a spill!
