What I'm Loving Wednesday!

Today I am linking up with the fabulous Jamie for What I'm Loving Wednesday!

I'm LOVING that Spring is in the air...even though it is still in the 40's here, I can feel it coming!! Yesterday was the first day in FOREVER that we have had beautiful blue skies and sunny weather! Can't wait for the warm weather to get here...all of this crazy winter weather has left me feeling so claustrophobic! I need fresh air!!

I'm LOVING that although I started a new diet today, I got to have BACON (I'm a little obsessed...) for breakfast today! Thanks Dr. Atkins! ;)

YUM! {via}

I'm really, really LOVING the new chair my mom had recovered for Joe and I! She found it on the side of the road and scooped it up knowing it had great potential! It was a nasty wing back chair that had been chewed by dogs and was covered in stains. She found this gorgeous beige linen fabric with a coral print and sent it off to her favorite upholsterer! It will go in our bedroom and it is going to be gorgeous!

I'm LOVING my precious nieces, Isabella and Lainey Kate, and my sweet new nephew, O'neil! So glad I got to see them last week and cover them in enough kisses to last the next few months until I can go home again!

I'm LOVING the beautiful NYC. It is so nice to always have something fun and exciting to do! Exploring in the city never gets old.

And last but not least, I am LOVING my sweetie pie smarty britches husband! I am so proud of how well he has done in law school so far, and of how much of a hard worker he is! Love that boy!

HAPPY WEDNESDAY! 2 more days until Friday...woo hoo!!

Molly + Campaign = LOVE

Campaign furniture has been all the rage in Blogland recently, and I have jumped on the bandwagon and haven't looked back! As soon as I saw this dresser from Lonny magazine, I knew that I needed one! I have been searching for the past year with no luck...until now!

When I was in South Carolina over Christmas, I went to my favorite place for furniture in Greenville and spotted a whole Campaign bedroom set. I had a small little fit in the store, but soon realized there was no way I could buy the furniture right then, and sadly left the store. Fast forward to this past week. I was back in SC to visit my new nephew, and decided to stop in the store to see if the Campaign furniture was still there. I walked as fast as I could to the back of the store, crossing my fingers that nobody else snatched it up! To my surprise, it was all still there; I'm guessing no one else saw its potential! The set came with a dresser with a hutch, a side table, a desk with a hutch, and a headboard. I only wanted the dresser and side table, so I talked the store owner into splitting up the set. I am now the proud owner of these gorgeous pieces! (The hutch came on the dresser, but I'm undecided on if I will use it or not.)

 

Right now, they are hanging out in my parents' garage in SC, but they will make their way to NY in a couple of months when my parents come to visit!

Here are a few pictures I've been lusting after!

LOVE this orange version from Deluxa

Also loving this creamy white version from Little Green Notebook

Obsessed with this green dresser in Emily A. Clark's home office

LOVE how crisp this white dresser is from Jessin' Around...love how the hardware stands out

As much as I love these fun colored dressers, I think that I am going to leave mine just the way they are! I have been wanting to bring more pieces of wood furniture into our apartment because right now everything is either black or white. I knew I made the right decision when I saw the two pictures below! Can't wait to have these pretty pieces in NY!

Totally loving this Craigslist dresser from Bryn!

Really, really loving this one from Joi, because it is exactly like mine!

So excited that I am finally the proud owner of some Campaign furniture! I'll be sure to take lots of pictures and post about them when they arrive!

Fill in the Blank Friday

I'm back after a WAY too long absence...I am so sorry! I got into a little blogging slump, and apparently it has taken a while for me to get out of it! I have lots of exciting things to share...so stay tuned! :)

I am linking up with Lauren at The Little Things We Do for Fill in the Blank Friday!

1.   I am currently obsessed with  My new sweet precious nephew, Harrison O'neil! He was born two weeks ago, but I just got to meet him on Wednesday. I fell instantly in love and could stare at that sweet baby all day!

2.  Today I am   SO HAPPY  because,    I am at home in South Carolina with my wonderful family and am enjoying the gorgeous 70 something degree weather! I sure will miss it when we go back to NY Sunday!

{my parents' pretty backyard!}

3.  The age I am is    23     and the age I feel is    I guess it depends! Somedays when I am super lazy and tired from work, I feel like I'm an old lady, but most days I am perfectly happy with my age! 

4.  My favorite place is     my family's lake house in South Carolina (near Charleston.) We have been going there every summer for years, and it is like a sanctuary to me! I feel so relaxed and at home there, and can't wait to be there this summer!

5.  Something I have been procrastinating is     hmmm...I guess that would have to be cleaning out our closet. (Yes, we only have one.) It is huge, and filled with CRAP! I need to get in there one day and do a lot of purging and organizing! Sounds like a plan for next weekend!

6.  The last thing I purchased was   Campaign furniture that I have been searching for FOREVER...there will be a whole post on this soon! :)

7.  The thing I love most about my home is   Well, it would DEFINITELY have to be who I share it with! I have said before that there isn't much I love about our tiny little apartment, but I would be happy living anywhere with my sweet boy! :)
