Time for that weekend recap business. So rewind back to Friday. The boyfriend and I went to First Friday in Fountain Square. It's a way to tour around the city and check out some awesome art. Typically it's a pretty popular event and has a big showing but I have to say it seemed more died down then usual.
Afterwards we grabbed dinner and drinks and ended our night at a Comedy Burlesque show. Not sure how that happened, okay okay, it happened because I really wanted to go. It's something different and I'm always willing to go check out new things. This show in particular wasn't my favorite. I was actually disappointed. Womp womp womp.
The good news was we did come home with some awesome new art from Two Thirds Studio. I love it because it just adds a great pop of color in our entry way.
While Philip was busy cleaning the house and hanging pictures (I know I picked a winner), I headed down to Indy to meet up with Mel and Caroline after they ran a MINI MARATHON. Huge props to these two because for one I can't run more than 3 miles and 2 the heat and two the humidity and heat were ridiculous on Saturday. They are awesome, way to go ladies!
We snacked on chips and salsa and spent the rest of the afternoon lounging by the pool and floating on our noodles. It was a solid day! I'm so happy to have met these two through blogland!
Later that evening Lindsay, her sister Kayla, Phil and I went to a Boxing Match. For those that don't know I'm pretty bad ass because I box. :) I don't do the whole hitting other people thing because hello I'm not for the "my face is busted look." It was really interesting to watch and it also helped connect why my coach has us do some of the things we do. The age group ranged from 8 to seniors in high school.
Sunday ended up being a pretty productive day. My mom had given me a Lowes gift card for my birthday. After several hours in Lowes we ended up coming up with some pots for the front, flowers and new cushions for the porch. Phil and I don't really know what we are doing when it comes to gardening and not to mention we have different opinions. After some advice from a helpful sales women, we were able to figure out what we wanted.
The porch needed a major face lift. We got out the vacuum and cleaned up the porch and furniture. I sanded the table and painted the table and wooden chair to give the space a pop of color. I will be the first to say I don't love the cushions but I think they do help give the space a fresh new look. It's a amazing what a little soap & water and paint can do for a space!
I absolutely love Fountain Square. I always feel like I went back in time when I hang out there.

ReplyDeleteIt is very important to choose the appropriate color scheme when planning a redesign any room in your home. Make sure you know the colors that will go together and which ones do not to ensure your room appears balanced and tasteful.
