Weekend Recap: Cake & Crafting

Hi Loves,

Hope you all had a lovely weekend! We got to have a little bit of fun and a little bit of work. On Saturday we were all able to come together (both my family & Jon's) and celebrate Jon's b-day a week late. 

You see last week we tried to get together at a restaurant know as Dinosaur BBQ and they had no reservations available for the entire weekend. Madness. We were able to make an appointment for this weekend and not only did we get some yummy BBQ, but we had a delish cake as well:

{It was crumbs & it was unbelievable}

Of course I have to share a picture of the birthday boy:


{Ok so I'm in the picture too! I just had to share I was having a really good hair day. Don't you love when that happens?}

We didn't end up doing anything for Halloween. I know we are totally lame. We had to head back home so that the pups could make their hair appointment. I swear Moo gets his hair way more than me. Anyway the thought of having to drive all the way back into the city wasn't too appealing so we ended up staying and finishing up some projects. A totally wild time was had by all. :)

Sunday John finished up his mystery project.

We found this piece ready for the garbage truck months ago. The wood was peeling in a lot of sections so it needed work, but we saw potential. It had amazing lines. Not sure if you can tell from the picture, but the piece bows in the front.



Jon had seen some great pieces from Bungalow 5 at the gift show and loved the two toned look of their classic pieces:



So a couple of weeks ago he decided to fix up our find and take it from trash to treasure:



It made it's way into the man den on Sunday:



Love the lacquer finish Jon gave the piece! He quickly added his things and claimed it as all his.


{When we bought our house Jon kept calling it Casa Juanca, because my parents call him Juan and he thought it just rolled off the tongue like Casablanca. So I got him a neon sign one year as a gift. }

I'll show the DIY steps tomorrow!

So how was your Halloween. We only had our bell ring once! Which means lots of left over candy for us. :)
