    Random Monday

    Happy Monday, everyone! We hope you had a great day yesterday celebrating all the special mothers in your life. We both had enjoyable days with our families, but ended the day finishing up our fabulous room makeover, ie: SuperFab Room Redesign! We can't wait to reveal the room to you and give you a breakdown of all the fun projects we've been doing. The Room Reveal will be on Wednesday and you won't want to miss it!

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The #1 most frequently asked question recently is what color my kitchen is. Well, here you go:

    I love it. It's the most perfect grayish/tan neutral you'll ever see. And, just so you know, I had Lowe's color-match this Olympic paint in Valspar Premium. Oh! And we're pretty excited (and think you will be too!) to start a FAQ page where you can find all the answers to your questions from our favorite products to use and the projects we do in our house to why we always DIY in frumpy clothes. Should be lots of fun, so stay tuned. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In case you missed it, we offered two pretty awesome freebies in the last two weeks: CanvasPeople (FREE 8x10!) and Paper Coterie ($15 credit towards anything you want! Use GIFTFAVES at checkout). Make sure you take advantage of those before it's too late.: )

    Ok, your turn: What was your most favorite Mother's Day moment yesterday?

    Another Freebie! {Paper Coterie}

    Since you all enjoyed the free canvases we shared last week, we thought we'd give you a little treat this week too! We love hooking you up with freebies!!

    Have you heard of Paper Coterie? If you have, you're way ahead of us since we've been hiding under a rock and didn't know about their fabulousness. Basically, they sell super cool, trendy, fun ways to document and record all the important moments in our lives. Photo books, greeting cards, birth announcements, planners, journals. Awesome stuff, people. Check it out:

    I Love Swatchbook (Great Father's Day gift! 30 pages, only $15!)

    Memorykeeper (perfect for storing kid's artwork!)

    Set of 12 Hello Cards (a personal favorite!)

    Live the Life Planner (Calendar + Notebook + Personal Pics = Awesome) Here's what Monica picked with her $15:You might remember that I got an iPhone last month and I'm loving up Instagram (You can follow me at eastcoastcreative) well I saw this journal and knew it was for me.

    I used four pictures that make me smile and voila. I plan to use it as kind of a prayer journal. Life can get a tad busy sometimes and often I don't take enough time to talk to The Big Guy. I find that writing helps. I loved that I could choose a fun font (I'm a font snob) and text, so I named it,"Hey God, It's Me Monica" (a little play off of Judy Bloom).

    Here's what Jess picked with her $15: Ok, we're lame because we both picked journals, but I just started a new job (as a Trip Coordinator at the same continuing care facility I've been working at for the last two years) and I know there will be tons of details, little reminders, and future trip ideas I'm going to need to jot down on a regular basis, so this will be the perfect fit!

    Simple, clean and of course, features my favorite picture of my kids ever.
