Hey Friends! Right now I am back in Seattle for our wedding reception that my mom is throwing for us. I can hardly wait to show you all of the beautiful details she has spent the last few months working on. My momma is seriously one talented lady!
Here are this weeks Feature Fridays!
Feature Friday: Current Blog Obsession
I stumbled upon {aka} designs the other day and I can’t remember how but I am sure glad I did! I absolutely love designing duo’s style! Shannon and Dean write about their adventures in all things DIY, thrifty decorating and organizational tips and offer the occasional recipe as well. And get this, Shannon even wrote an eBook called, Welcome Home found here.
Whole browsing through their blog, I found so many inspring projects I’d love to recreate like their Reclaimed Wood Headboard and their fun Vintage Bakery Sign.
Their little bungalow is adorable. Take a tour here.
{aka} designs can also be found on Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest too!
Stop by and say hi and take a look around their little space in the bloggy world!
Feature Friday: Instagram
Our pups make me crack up. They both have very distinct personalities and they are the sweetest things ever. This is Maddy, our pit bull mutt. I think Pits get a pretty bad rap. Yes, there are some out there that our mean but I believe that goes for most all breeds. Every pit I’ve met have been the kindest souls and that definitely goes for our Maddy. This little ‘chocolate bunny’ as my hubby calls her loves to sprawl out and relax in the grass chewing on her rock, stick, bone you name it! Sometimes I just go out there with her and we lay together in the grass watching all that goes on around us. She’s my sweet sweet girl.
Feature Friday: Barnwood Tables Inspiration
I recently purchased an old table from an antique store in Newberg, the town in which I live in. It has great legs but a maple wood top that I’m not too keen on. I thought this would be a fun was to try and get that barnwood table we’ve been wanting forever…DIY style!
Here are a few pictures that inspire me.

I love the idea of adding a bench to one side of the table!
It may be a little bit before I actually have time to get around to it. I still haven’t even finished our living room wall yet. But, I have the table, and all I need it to find the wood!
Happy Friday and I hope you all have a great weekend!
Thank you so much for loving on our blog like this! So sweet!
Happy wedding reception, btw!!!

Hi Amanda!
Gorgeous tables, and LOVE the bench. I am still trying to figure out how not to fall backwards off of mine. Yes, it has a back on it, and it rocks…and sometimes….ok, life is never boring.
Big love!!
As always, I ADORE YOUR BLOG.
