< Seattle Date Night >

We love date night in Seattle. I have enjoyed picking up Jachen from work{he works south of downtown} then spending the evening in Seattle. This past weekend we had our second date night in Seattle where we went to a lookout point{this time at Gas Works, last time HERE at Kerry Park} with Dicks, and went to West Elm. And we probably will do many more date nights like this. Well, not necessarily including West Elm.

Dang, I should have taken a picture of the two of us. I need to be better at that. I really was there, promise.

< Inspiring Spaces//Kitchen Makeover >

>>>>FINAL<<<<

I am so impressed with this kitchen makeover. Oh my. There are a lot of ugly kitchens in older homes and this makeover gives hope to those looking for an older home or who need help envisioning the possibilities of a great kitchen they already own. This makeover shows how to take a generic kitchen and really make it something unique and modern without going overboard.

Some things I love about the kitchen.
> Adding the white. Love me some white. Not only opens up and brightens up the room, but white is easy, fresh, modern and is a great base to build off of.
> The grey. I don't think I would have thought of using that beautiful grey...but it works amazingly and I think is a stunning choice. It also incorporates the stainless steal appliances.
> The white tiling on the walls. What a great idea! Way better than just white paint. Gives great character, modernizes it and also has a function...easier to clean. It's also a texture.
> The open shelving on the one wall. Always dreamy. I am so in love with the idea of showcasing your beautiful dishware/glassware.
> The simple modern pieces of kitchen accessories.
> That they got rid of the window curtains.
> The hanging lighting...fab. Also, good job getting rid of the center fixture and putting in small flush/hidden lights.
> The barstools...fab.
> The addition of drawer and cupboard handles.
> That they got rid of the garbage being out and exposed.
> The sink update, especially the basin...I like that it doesn't have the metal rim around it that just gets chalky and ugly. Great way to really keep the kitchen updated. If they left that ugly sink, it would bring down the room.

I hope this kitchen inspires you as it has me. Makes me less scared to by an older home.

< Pumpkin Pickin' >

Pumpkin Farm! My all time favorite thing to do in October is to go to a pumpkin farm. I don't know what it is about pumpkins, but they have us all hypnotized. It has been a tradition amongst my siblings to go together to a farm called The Farm, but yesterday, we went to a different farm, Carleton Farms, which may just be may new favorite.

This farm had some areas for kids...including a play pit full of corn kernels, animals, hay to climb around, zip line, a few cool big slides...and more. There was also a pumpkin shooter which shot pumpkins really far. Also, the best part...the pumpkin spice donuts and apple cider slushie! Amazing. {I actually had hot apple cider, but drank some of Jachen's. Delicious} We took a hayride down to the pumpkins. There were sooo many great pumpkins to chose from, it was a little overwhelming. We came home with 3 smallish ones and 3 mini mini ones. Seriously adorable.

Fun Fall outing with my sister and her family. {then we went over to their home and had stew and biscuits for dinner} And thank goodness for the sun!
