Weekend Recap

{Switching things up… stripes, leopard, can’t go wrong!}

{Gf pasta with a ton of veggies}

{New notebooks from Home Goods}

{Had bread over the weekend… repercussions haven’t been too bad, yet}

{Mio Vicino might have the best bruschetta (pine nuts, sun dried tomatoes, gloves of garlic, so good!)}

{This guy got spray painted gold. After shot to come}

{Gf vegan chocolate chip  cookies}

{Re-organized our coffee table tray}

Happy Monday! How was your weekend? Mike and I dedicated Saturday to the apartment. We spent some time at Home Goods and stumbled upon an amazing mirror sale, some unique gold accents, and some other items to spray paint gold. Okay, I’m having a gold moment, so sue me =). I also started on a new DIY canvas… I’m free handing it this time, so I hope it turns out. It’s either the beginning or the end of my painting career.

Another little highlight from our weekend, dinner at Mio Vicino. It’s a Santa Clara gem. Amazing pasta dishes to choose from and to-die-for bruschetta. If you’re in the area, it’s definitely a place to try!

    As much as I don’t care for bread, I just can’t say no to homemade bruschetta and the tasty bread that goes with it! I guess it’s OK to splurge once in a while, right? :)

    Loving the soon to be Goldmember. I have been adding a touch of gold around the apartment lately… at some point I will have to put the spray can down and slooowly walk away. That or I’ll pass out from the fumes.

    Here’s an idea for an easy DIY that added a touch of gold to some old picture frames.

    @Christy- the leopard case is from J.Crew… but from a while ago. Not sure if they still have it :)
