The last room to be touched in our house is the boys’ room. It is ugly. Even the boys complain. I’m a little stumped because of the layout and the mismatched beds. There have been a few false starts, but nothing major has happened. So at the start of a girl weekend with my daughter, we stopped at ADAC to check out the Studio Bon fabrics as a possibility for her brothers’ room.
I’m really liking this direction. Fun for boys, huh?
Then we had a little stop at Lewis & Sheron to pick up fabric for the cottage. All the pinks got her seal of approval.
Post dinner was an early PJ party snuggled together on the bed–first, messing with Siri on my phone to belly laughs; then, we sank into our books, her, Harry Potter book 4, me, Life with Picasso.
The pace picked up after a walk to breakfast.
There was her first oil painting lesson.
Then we paused to give a group of 10 or so ladies a tour of the loft.
Hurry, jump in the car to pick up Big Red Chandy, freshly uninstalled from the Cathedral Showhouse. It’s going in our kitchen–thanks, Ally!
Next up, the Cinderella ballet! We fought traffic…
….and made it right to our seats when the lights went down.
With ballerina costumes still dancing in our heads, we stumbled upon this polyester and acetate wonderland to top off our day.
There is nothing to say except it was the stuff of 7-year-old girl manic-ruffle dreams. She couldn’t dart from dress to dress fast enough.
And that is how we TPH girls spend 24 hours. (I’m so exhausted, guys!)

I used to try on prom dresses a the mall as an honest-to-goodness past time when I was about 11. Fun!
Also, I am in LOVE with studio bon, though not so much the price tag or the 3-yard-min if not in stock.
Hope you get to use it!
Next time you have a girl weekend, please take me! So much fun.
Oh, I love this post!!!
Maybe I will have a girl someday…..
Remind me to tell you about my BEST dream ever, mkay? Involves lots and lots of dresses.
I’m so glad the red pineapple is going to such a lovely home! (Was Julia in the car when you came to get it??? I had no idea! I would have said hello!)
tooooooo cute! i loved twirly skirts when i was a little girl, too. i remember going through catalogs where my mom bought my dresses, and basing my preferences for each dress based on how far out the twirl would go.
