Friday Five | 10.14.16

Last week was treasure sale day at my mom’s work (sorry it’s only open to employees!) We picked up three dressers, a chair and a mirror! I sanded this dresser last weekend – my plan is to keep it all wood (It really doesn’t look bad in this photo, but it had scratches all over it – so it needed to be sanded, but the veneer was in pretty good shape with no major cuts!) I still need to sand the detail work and legs (last week I cut my knuckles pretty bad when sanding the legs and the sandpaper broke and my fingers crashed into the pavement – getting cuts on your knuckles is the worst because they bend and take forever to heal!) 
So once I go over it with finer sandpaper, and finish the detail sections – I can stain it – I’d like to keep it light – close to the natural color, but the front veneer stripes are a lighter wood, does anyone have experience with that, or do I need to use a darker stain?
Probably my favorite thing about fall is roasting veggies – especially squash! My favorite way to roast any veggie is EVOO, maple syrup, s+p, and red pepper flakes YUM!
I also LOVE roasted cauliflower – it takes away the cabbage flavor and brings out a natural sweetness – this recipe was yummy! I also like it buffalo chicken style!  
Please pin from original source, here, thanks! 
It’s official! I’m obsessed with Jord watches! The other week I shared my Jord watch – today, I’m sharing the men’s version! 

Here’s the Frankie – we both love the dark sandalwood!

David’s wrists are on the smaller side – the watch face is the perfect size!
The Delmar is also gorgeous, I love the Zebrawood! The watch face is a little larger. 
I love that they come in a gorgeous wood box.
See the entire women’s collection here, and the men’s collection here
Thanks so much to Jord for providing the watches – as always, I only share products and companies that I love and have had a great experience with! 
Did you catch Jen’s guest room reveal? I love the use of color! And a stripe is ALWAYS a good idea in my opinion! 

Please pin from original source, here, thanks! 

I enjoyed browsing Target’s MCM section! MCM desk here
This dress caught my eye this week! Love the colors and pattern!  
I love my lucky booties, I wear them almost everyday in the fall – these are super similar, but have fringe! 
That’s it for today – have a great weekend friends!

    I actually did that broyhill sculptra dresser for my son's room. sanded the thing and re-stained in a walnut. Then I did the 3D parts in a color. different ways to do it but the two-tone look looks good on these. Do a glossy enamel. A dark walnut stain and the 3D things done in a deep black would look awesome.
