peaceful, quiet and slow.

aside from the usual errands i had one goal for the weekend - to go thrifting and find us a pair of dining chairs to add to our collection. well we found one chair and a step stool, which was a delightful surprise. i was originally planning on picking one up at ikea. but i am stoked. the chair and foot stool are charming. we also picked up some sanding paper and some time this week i'll be sanding them down and to get them ready for a fresh coat of paint. well.. i'm actually toying with the idea of giving a different stain finish for the step stool. a dark brown. we'll see. 

i feel like i am done with finding homes for all of our things. now it's a matter coming up with decorations and details to give each room more character. it's going to take a while to really see what i need but i would love to find a pretty antique wall mirror for our bedroom and an ethnic fabric print for our kitchen wall. i have always  loved hmong fabric prints {you can see some of their textile examples here}. they are so pretty. and there are ones that also tell a certain story. i think those are so fascinating. i guess i better keep my eyes peeled from now on. 

what did you do over the weekend?
