Weekend Recap: Out of Town & New Project!

This weekend we decided to hit the open road and travel to Delaware to visit my SIL.

I wasn’t  exactly sure what I would  find in Delaware, but I was pleasantly surprised. One of our first stops was The Cereal Bowl!

 

At the moment they only have two locations one in Newark, Delaware and another in Miami, Florida, but if you are near either one I say run there for a pick me up!

They specialize in cereal. You can get custom mixes of cereal and then head over to the milk bar and decide if you want 2% or non-fat. They also have non fat frozen yogurt, which you can then add on all the fat back into it with the mix in options that they have.

I had a yummy combo of vanilla fro-yo, strawberries (me being healthy) and chocolate chips and oh yea a huge scoop of peanut butter with cookie dough (not so healthy). I wasn’t sure how I would feel about actual peanut butter in my fro-yo, but it was delightful and totally jealous that SIL has this place right down the street from her apt.

I pretty much ate my way through Delaware,because before that we went apple picking where I picked up apple cider doughnuts(really to die for) at Milburn Orchards.YUM!

Then for dinner we went to Pizza by Elizabeth's. Not only were the gourmet pizza’s delish, but the decor was beautiful as well.

{Ah look at the floor! Plus all the countertops were thick slabs of marble! }

  {They had our favorite lotus chandeliers hanging above all the little nooks where you could wait for your table. }

{Pictures of our favorite Elizabeth's like Liz  Taylor and the Queen were all over the place along with a  Bourgie lamp by Kartell being placed every couple of feet in the dining area. }

We drove home that same night and Sunday was full of preparations for a new room I’m designing. My sister and her two roomies sent out a huge SOS for design help. They have lived in their apt almost 2 years and the common living area is still not complete.

My sister knew the perfect person to help them and their teeny, tiny budget so she called me and the rest is history. I went there over the weekend to take pictures, measurements, etc.

Here are some before shots:

{The walls in here were originally white, but a couple of months ago these ladies went out to Home Depot and painted the town green. So I will be working with this existing paint color.}

{The common living area is a bit small in this apt so the dining and living area are squeezed together.}

{ This is the wall opposite the sofa. Don’t ya love the great condition the dining room chair is in? }

Now since they wanted this project done sooner than later I have this week to get everything put together and I’m heading into the city this coming weekend to install everything!

Tomorrow I’m sharing my inspiration for the room!

So lovely readers of mine please dish! What did you do this weekend? Or what color combo do you think I picked for this new room re-vamp?
