HOUSE & BABY PROGRESS : VOLUME I

8 Jul 2013 Uncategorized

Hi Everyone!! It’s been a crazy couple of weeks here in Shorely Chic land. We moved and here I am 40 weeks pregnant!!! I’m feeling good despite the crazy heat we’re having here in the northeast and just waiting for this little guy to get going with his decent into the world 🙂
 We are JUST settling in to the new house and I’m loving it so far! It’s not done but since I don’t know will happen in the next few days I wanted to share some photos of the progress. 
Talk about nesting…
We got the table from Pottery Barn and white upholstered chairs at IKEA. They will eventually sit at the heads of the table and we have four Restoration Hardware Madeline Chairs on the way which will sit on the sides.

I found this bar at a thrift shop and it was finished in a “lodge-y/vermont-y” stain. We simply painted it a high gloss black and voila – we got our perfect bar for $50 🙂
My family has always loved a good type drawer filled with shells and my mom made this one a few years ago, I thought it was perfect for above the bar with our Hawaiian beads hanging from the side to remind us of our honeymoon. My dad made the playa sign which I love.

This cute sign hangs in the dining room, available in my Etsy shop 🙂

These chairs were a recent thrift find and I thought they were so California Chic looking. I like the way they look here under the stairs with some Shorely Chic art  hanging above…

Our fireplace is adorned with vintage apothecary aqua glass bottles I’ve picked up along my way. Some I put shells on, others I left alone…

 We’re still waiting on our couch to come in so I’ll update with a family room photo soon…
This is our entryway table which I also found at a local thrift shop and painted high gloss black, really into black these days! I think it’s a nice cut or contrast from all the lightness in the house…

Jack: Mom, I’m hot. Me: So is your 40 week pregnant mother.

Here is the master bath, in progress…I’m LOVING the way it’s coming out! 

We used a basket weave carrera marble floor with specks of muted aqua…

and I love the floors! We picked a tile that imitates wood and it’s bleached out to give it a lighter/beachy/driftwood look.
The nursery is almost complete but I don’t want to reveal that until it’s perfect!!
Will be back soon, maybe with a very special announcement, wish us luck!

Lets Be Social

On Instagram

We’re currently in Phase 1 of our Costa Rican ad We’re currently in Phase 1 of our Costa Rican adventure. This is the two week decompression period where we train our bodies and minds to slow down (this is more for me than anyone else), and let me tell you, I’m lapping it up.  We’re spending all day outside at the beach, going to bed early, eating lots of fresh fruit and healthy foods, swimming in the ocean, I’m working out and meditating in the mornings, and having fun together. For someone who is usually always in high gear, this part is my gift to myself 🐚 

We are staying at a beautiful place in papagayo with @exclusiveresorts and it feels very luxurious and restorative. 

The kids are already thriving. Being together 24/7 comes with its arguments and fights but they are learning how to just be with each other and with their crazy little brother. They’re helping a lot with him, learning a little Spanish, surfing, writing in their journals, and meeting kids from all over the world who are staying here as well. 

I’m letting us get pampered for this phase, and it feels really good. 

Thanks for coming along, I hope your year is off to an amazing start! Is there anything specific you’d like me to share about while we’re in this phase? I was thinking about sharing my morning workouts and meditations, but let me know!
Recently, I downloaded the Melissa Wood health app Recently, I downloaded the Melissa Wood health app @melissawoodtepperberg @melissawoodhealth and so far I’m loving the workouts. I try and do one every morning. They’re super quick so sometimes I do two. I like that they are gentle but hard. They incorporate a lots of yoga, pilates, breathing, stretching, balancing and all that good stuff. You can see from the videos I’m pretty shaky in the first couple clips, that balance is tough but I’m building up my strength, I can feel it 💪🏻
