Another very quick update for today--we are in the process of finally getting the bamboo floors installed! It has been a bit of a fiasco, as most home improvement projects usually are (hey, I watch HGTV!), and logistically it is still going to be a cluster-to-the-f-u-you-know-what as we get down to actually getting the floors down, but.
I seriously can't wait!
What you have not seen in my OOTD snaps from over this past month are the bundles and piles of bamboo sitting everywhere around me, acclimating to the house. It will be great to finally get it all done so we can then move on to the other 2348428374 things that need to be done and I can stop using the piles of bamboo as makeshift coffee tables to set all of my crap on, oh boy.
(But truth be told, I kind of like having 15 coffee tables in my entry way alone--why isn't this a major interior design trend?)
Weekend warriors Husband and I most certainly are not (one of these days I will sit down and tell ya'll the dastardly and dangerous tale of us trying to change a lightbulb high on our vaulted ceilings that involved a ladder, a suction cup, five rubber bands, a chihuahua in a ruffly dress, a deck of UNO cards, those useless loopy potholders we all made in the early 90's and I'm not talking about Pauly Shore, two very long hours, and my DIY parents looking at me so strangely, as if I had somehow failed them) but it has still been awesome picking out things with Husband and doing this thing together. Go team.

Chloe, Colorful Colorado. 5'8" (only) when teetering in her highest 6 inch Miu Miu platform heels. Likes fashion, broccoli, ice cream, clarifying that she does not eat ice cream with her broccoli as to not cause worldwide panic, hoarding beauty products & pretty shoes, tickle fights with her husband (he would like to clarify that he does not like them back, OKAY?), anything covered in sprinkles, any alcoholic beverage made with Tang, live music, clicking the camera, sarcasm fonts, vases stuffed full of pretty flowers, and laughing hard until her belly hurts. Wants an adventurous life, lots of puppies, to never obtusely wander around with her fly down, and to be an iconic Diane Von Furstenberg wrap dress with a bright, festive print when she grows up. This is where she bravely documents it all. (
