Condo is rented, house is rented and the movers are coming FRIDAY!!!
One of the things I've really enjoyed the past few weekends is being able to take the time to enjoy them! We're usually on the go so much that weekends consist of traveling somewhere, so it's been nice to be able to take the time and have a laid back, long dinner on the deck with friends like we did on Friday, take a yoga class, and still have two full days to get things done (PACKING!) that we need to.
Last night, I went to the Wine Palette in Noda. What an awesome, creative business! Every session features a different painting and artist. Customers can bring in whatever food and beverage of choice that they’d like and the receive hands on help from the artist of the painting. Wine Palette provides all canvases and paints, you just show up with your bottle of wine and ready to paint! Last night, the painting was of the bridge at Freedom Park. Freedom Park is definitely one of my favorite places in Charlotte and I’ll definitely miss running there when we move. For $25, this is such a fun alternative girls night that is also a perfect memory to take with me to Austin!
Patrick also got creative this weekend and stained our once light wood coffee table to a dark, cherry color and added new hardware. It's a gorgeous coffee table that was his parents previously and we have been wanting to stain it darker to match our other furniture for some time. I admit, I was a little skeptical about starting this project when we had so much else to do, but it actually ended up beautiful. All it took was $40 for the stain and sanding items plus the 4 new pulls on the drawers and a couple of hours of sweat equity. See below for the before and after pics:
