Friday Favorites!

Happy Friday, everyone! Hope you all have had a great couple of weeks! I've been MIA and busy packing and moving things to the new house! Finally able to do a little updating, and I'm pretty exciting about this one! Linking up with Andrea for Friday Favorites again this time. ;)

One.

As if we needed more mess and chaos in our apartment while we're in the midst of a move, I decided to do a furniture project in the little walking space we have left. I am SO glad I did, though, because I love how these end tables turned out! A girl at the seminary was selling these end tables for $10 a piece, and they needed some work. I loved the shape, though -- especially the curved legs! I spent a few days painting and waxing, and I got some new drawer pulls at Hobby Lobby. I think they're going to look great in our new living room!

(We're also going to be painting that poopy brown wall! That lamp is also one of my new FAVORITES! Half off sale at Hobby Lobby! Woo!)

Two.

While I was picking out drawer pulls at Hobby Lobby the other day, I walked by this sign. I feel sorry for the people that were near me because I turned around and went back to look at it while doing an ugly-distorted-face cry. Jacob, Hank, and I spent some time in Alabama and Nashville over the past couple of weeks, and we both got a little homesick being in our childhood homes. There were tears shed on my end. It wasn't pretty. All those emotions came flooding back when I walked past this sign, but it was a great reminder that "home" is where my two favorite men are. Crap, I'm crying now as I type this!! 

In the cart it went!

Three.

So this week I WON A CONTEST!!! I entered a giveaway on the Feltman Brothers' instagram page, and I WON a free outfit!!! (Side note: I *thought* I was winning four outfits, but it turns out it's just one. My misunderstanding. But one is still awesome!) I'm having trouble choosing!! I wore Feltman Brothers home from the hospital, and I LOVE their timeless, classic look. (I know some people don't, but I do, and I will have totally sacrificed things for myself to get a precious smocked outfit for my child. Not even a little sad about it either!) Most of their boys' outfits for Hank's upcoming size are in the Bobby Suit style. The royal family loves this style too! :))

Sweet Prince George in his bobby suit!

These are the two I'm trying to decide between right now! A precious all occasion smocked bobby suit or an adorable embroidered Christmas bobby suit!!! I love them both! 

Four. 

My *favorite* book right now is "The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up: The Japanese Art of Decluttering and Organizing" by Marie Kondo. This book is so necessary in my life right now! I'm only a few chapters in, but I've purged about 6 garbage bags and boxes so far. Mess and clutter can be so stressful, and I want our new home to be a stress-free place to be. I am SUCH a sentimental pack rat, so it took some self pep talks to get rid of so many things, but I feel so much better about it!

Five.

Last but not least, my *favorite* show right now is Mr. Selfridge. Honestly, it took a little bit to get hooked, but we're on Season 2 now, and I'm loving it. I LOVE British period dramas, and this one is definitely keeping me entertained while I wait for Downtown Abbey to return for the last season. (Still heartbroken about that). Mr. Selfridge is about Harry Selfridge, a Chicago native who runs and owns a department store in London. I recommend it!!

Have a great weekend!!!
