Insta-Friday and New to me Thonet Dining Chairs!

Happy Friday!  In our house, we are so excited it’s Friday!!!!  Today, the kids and I leave to visit my brother-in-law and his awesome fiancee for a weekend visit!  Then from there, we head down to the beach in South Carolina for the week!  Chris has to stay behind for work and a coach training, so it’s just me and the kids road-trippin’, singing VBS Kingdom Rock at the top of our lungs, and making memories!  Wish me luck!

Before we head out on the road I thought I’d share with you some of my instagrams from the week (cassie8978 on instagram) as well as my new dining chairs.
Here we go… my week on instagram!

This past weekend I had special visitors the day I worked at the barn sale… my very own Dad and Mom!  Now you see where I get my amazing good looks. 😉

While I worked, Sawyer got a hair cut and wanted it spiky like Dad’s.  Chris’ hair happens to just grow straight up!

I took Emmy shopping at the barn and bought her this Horton clip from Sweet Pea Designs.

I snipped some black eyed susans and put them in a blue ball jar.

The kids and I saw this guy when we were driving home one day… It’s a GIANT snapper.  Yikes.  Chris told me I was stupid to get that close, but I explained that I just had to instagram it.  I would risk death for my instagrams.  Priorities.

I moved around some textiles and put my Sweet Clover pillow from Christine on the porch!  Love it there!

I picked up some new pillows for Emmy’s room at Chartreuse & Co.  She wants her room to be “sunset colors with aqua” so by golly, that is what she is going to get this Fall!

Jake and I have enjoyed the beautiful cool mornings!

On one of our walks we came across this beautiful butterfly which had died just like that.  Amazing.

The kids enjoyed popsicles on the porch.

And I shared me new dining chairs!!!!!!  WAHOO!

I’ll be back Monday to share some inspiration I have found for my new chairs.  Until then…. I would love to hear your thoughts about them?  Paint them?  Leave them? Dip them?  Paint something else in the room but not the chairs?  Come on people…. spill!

Have a WONDERFUL weekend!!!!!  And if you are in SC and want to hang out with me and my kids on the beach, let me know! Or If you want to babysit them for a bit, I am open to that, too.  Ha!

    I can’t believe you didn’t pick up the dead butterfly and take it home for a project 😉 I think I would have! That turtle is crazy cool, I wonder how old it is!
    I still say paint the chairs grey or white and dip them.
    Wish you a wonderful weekend too!

    My parents get crazy huge snapper turtles coming out of their lake (obviously you can’t swim in that lake!:) But my dad has to move the turtles before the dogs get too close. I love those chairs! I think those are the perfect style for dipping!

    I am still thinking about that turtle. So weird! I had no idea they live in freshwater lakes. The things I don’t know! Have so much fun this weekend! I love the idea if paint dipping the legs. I almost always want to paint everything, but those chairs are so unique. They will be gorgeous painted too.

    Sunset colour with aqua – so cute!!! I vote for dipping those chairs. Natural wood chairs with gold feet!

    my mom snatched some chairs like that from my grandfather who’s downsizing! I want them sooo bad but for now she won’t cave. They’re just sitting in her garage. Ahh. Your’s look great with the table and bench. I like them as is but they would look nice painted too!

    Cute picture with you and your parents. They look like they are lots of fun! I guess the apple doesn’t fall from the tree!
    Enjoy your time with the W&L gang! My son went to Roanoke – Go ODAC!
    The chairs are a great find! Maybe leaving them the way they are? And lastly, enjoy your vaca in SC! Relax, enjoy the children and be happy!

    A lovely week in photos, I should try that sometime!!! I’d paint the chairs, and each one a different color. Cuz that’s how I roll! I also like the idea or dipped with the top still natural wood. What a great find!

    I love those bentwood chairs… it would be hard for me to paint them but they’d be fab, so I don’t think you can lose either way. Have a wonderful trip down to SC – love it down there! If y’all get bored, you could always road trip to Haven! 😉

    That is a GIANT, HUGE snapper wow! 😉
    & your chairs, I say leave them like that now and then maybe dip them in the color you think it’s best for you! 🙂 I just got new/OLD dining chairs from my mother-in-law and I don’t know what to do with them either! 🙂
    Hope you will have a fun trip with your kids too! 🙂
    enjoy!

    It was the right thing to do whatever it took to get that instagram shot! Do turtles really attack like that? Wouldn’t it be more of a slow-motion attack?
