WEEKEND AT MY COUSIN'S

I KNEW WE WERE IN FOR A TREAT GOING TO MY COUSIN'S HOUSE IN ARLINGTON, VA....THEY RECENTLY ADDED ON A KITCHEN, FAMILY ROOM, MASTER SUITE, AND POOL....COULDN'T WAIT TO HANG OUT WITH THEM AT THEIR AWESOME HOUSE!

MY COUSIN IS ONE OF SIX KIDS.....AND SHE IS A TWIN....AND HAS TWIN BROTHERS JUST OVER A YEAR YOUNGER THAN HER....NOT TO MENTION THE 2 OLDER SIBLINGS!!

HOW MY AUNT AND UNCLE STAYED SANE IS BEYOND ME. BUT I DO KNOW THAT THIS FAMILY LOVES TO LAUGH....THEY ARE THE MOST ENTERTAINING AND MOST HILARIOUS FAMILY AND I ALWAYS FEEL LIKE IVE HAD A GREAT ABS WORKOUT FROM LAUGHING SO HARD AFTER I'M WITH THEM. I LOVE MY COUSINS!!!

AND THEIR HOME? THIS IS A FUN HOME-ITS THE HOUSE THAT ALL THE TEENAGE FRIENDS LIKE TO COME TO AND HANG OUT....BECAUSE MY COUSIN WILL WELCOME ANYONE TO HER HOME AND YOU JUST WANT TO BE THERE!!....IT'S VERY LAID BACK AND CASUAL AND STYLISH AND EYE STIMULATING!! LOTS OF CREATIVE TOUCHES THROUGHOUT THANKS TO MY COUSINS FLAIR.

THE DISTRESSED FLOORS GAVE SUCH A FUN CASUAL EFFECT-LOVE!

 

FRIDGE TO DIE FOR...CAN'T WAIT FOR MINE TO BREAK-GLASS DOORS ARE AWESOME!

WE HAVE A HUGE SWEET TOOTH IN OUR FAMILY......SO WHAT DOES MY
COUSIN DO? SHE CREATED A DRAWER IN HER KITCHEN SO YOU KNOW
WHERE THE CANDY IS....AND IT WAS BEAUTIFUL!! THE KIDS LOVED THIS.

 

THIS NOOK OPENS UP OFF THW KITCHEN AND FAMILY ROOM. IT'S WHERE MY COUSINS LIKE TO HANG OUT WITH FRIENDS, PLAY THEIR GUITARS, OR READ. GREAT COZY SPOT IN THE WINTER WITH THE FIREPLACE. REALLY REMINDS ME OF A BRITISH PUB!! AND THAT GRID LOOKING THING IN THE BACKGROUND? ITS OLD MAILBOXES FROM OLD POSTOFFICE WHERE THEY GREW UP IN MARYLAND. REALLY COOL!

A COLLECTION OF PLAYBILLS FROM THEIR TRIPS TO NYC.....AND AN
ENOURMOUS SKYLIGHT FLOODS THE SPACE WITH LOTS OF LIGHT.

 

MY COUSIN IS AN ARTIST-I NEVER KNEW-LOVED HER STUFF!

 

AND HERE'S THE SOLUTION TO THE CONSTANTLY MISSING HOUSE KEY-LOVE IT!
