Afternoon Pick Me Up: Television - Parenthood

Parenthood

Image from HERE

This is actually a bit of a Personal Peek into what we're diggin' lately, via television. When Parenthood first came on the scene, we were busy bees and only got to see a few episodes. Now we have Primetime On Demand and recently go to catch up on this fave NBC show and just have to share our love of all things Parenthood.

We are so smitten with this show, it's cast and the story lines it follows. It has opened up some amazing conversations about family and life between myself and CC Hubby. We've laughed out loud a ton and I've even cried one time (sidenote: and I'm not a big tv/movie cryer) because you really do just relate in so many ways to these families. If you have a chance to check it out, we really think you should! Enjoy!

Afternoon Pick Me Up: Casa Cravings: Black and Chrome Chandelier

Black and chrome chandelier for 149

Do you love this chandelier as much as I do? I spotted it over on Overstock the other day (HERE) and knew I had to share it with you. For only $149, I think it's a statement maker and can really vamp up any interior space. I can imagine it in a black and white bathroom or toning down a colorful dining room. It's eye catching without being over the top and I just love the idea of the chandelier crystals peeking out the bottom of the drum shade...oh so chic! Enjoy!

Herman Miller Eames Hang-It-All Select in Walnut

Herman Miller Eames Hang-It-All Select in Walnut for $249

Woah, is this ever an investment and craving, all at once. We love Eames and we adore Herman Miller so what a great combo in design this piece is! Here's a bigger snippet about the piece:

"Charles and Ray Eames brought a sense of play to all their work, including the Hang-It-All. It took the everyday coat rack to a new place that was inventive and fun. More than just a conversation piece, the Hang-It-All holds anything that slips over its elegant hooks. The Eames Hang-It-All has a black, steel-rod frame with 14 solid wooden balls in a classic walnut finish. Attachment hardware is included."

I hope you will find inspiration here to taste new foods, explore unique places and share simple recipes and laughter with family and friends.

Yep, I pretty much get hungry every time I pop by and check out what's new on fresh365. Hop on over, say hello, find her on Facebook HERE and tell her we sent you. Enjoy!

2822 shop

Get ready, we're about to tackle this DIY project as CC Hubby is chomping at the bit to create these modern, affordable and well constructed outdoor chairs. Deemed the 2x4 chair because they are completely made from 2" x 4" lumber, the great SITE even gives you plans, pictures and a cost breakdown right HERE. Really, it's all laid out for you for a great DIY weekend project. We plan to tackle this 2x4 furniture when the heat settles down here in Austin...probably late October. 

What do you think of these chairs? You can also support the site on Facebook right HERE. They also love to get pictures from anyone (check some out HERE) who also tackled the DIY 2x4 chair project. We'll be sure to send ours in...in a few months! And it doesn't stop at just 2x4 chairs. You can buy plans for a side table, bench or children's bench too. Enjoy and get to making some 2x4 goodness!
