6 Things You MUST Do While You Are In St. George for the Hoard Sale

I am writing this post from the chandelier,  that I am currently swinging on because I am so excited to meet so many of you tomorrow!!  I know that a lot of you are coming in from out of town so I thought it would be fun to tell you about a few of my favorite spots that you can visit while you are here!  (Because I always love suggestions from locals,  it makes me happy.)

Swig (989 E. Tabernacle St. St. George UT 84770)

I mean.  You know that this is #1 on the list right?  You would be crazy to not head over there (yes, the line is long.  Deal.) Order a sugar cookie and a Dirty Dr. Pepper (Dr. Pepper with coconut syrup).  And then go get back in line,  because you will want another one.

Durango's   (245 Red Cliffs Drive St. George UT 84790 located in the Promenade at Red Cliff behind the fountain)  

Our family literally eats here a minimum of 3x a week.  I love the steak or carnitas salad.  You can sit inside or out,  and the manager is probably the hottest man I have ever seen.  This is the part where I should mention that he is my husband.

{Re}cycled Consign and Design (59 W Center St. Cedar City UT)

Now while this store isn’t in St. George its only about 35 minutes north in Cedar City.  It is HANDS DOWN my favorite place to shop for clothing and accessories.  And they sell TONS of amazing furniture and other decor deliciousness.  You will not believe that a store this cool lives in Cedar City.  Pinky promise.  AND because Amanda is one of my favorites she is giving a 20% discount in store when you mention Vintage Revivals!!  Make sure to follow them on Insta to see all the latest and greatest!

TJ Maxx/Homegoods (42 South River Road)

The St. George Homegoods has been dubbed the best in Utah.  I have to agree.  There is just so much stuff and the get new shipments on Fridays so it will be well stocked!

 US Snow  (1189 E 700 S  St George, UT 84790 located right next to Harmons)

During the scorching summer heat,  one of our favorite treats are Snow Cones.  We have become snow cone connoisseurs.  This one is the best.  I always order Pomegranate with Cream.  As strange as the “with Cream” may sound, don't knock it till you try it.   It just may change your life too.

And if you have time you MUST hit up a park while you are here.  Snow Canyon and Zion are a favorite. 

See you tomorrow!!

DIY Honeycomb Hexagon Wall Treatment

Man, we are cruising through the tutorials from Dylan’s Dream Room!  As chevron has been on its way out over the last year I think many of us have been waiting with baited breath wondering what will take its place as the Pattern King.  Ikat seemed to be a pretty great contender for a bit, and then I was seeing spots (well polka dots to be exact) everywhere but I am going to throw my money on the Hexagon. 

I knew immediately that I wanted to do a Hex wall in Dylan’s room (and even though it didn't work out right the first time) I knew it wasn't the hex pattern that was the problem.  I know what you are thinking.  That wall must have taken years.  And while it did take time, it is for sure not as complicated as the wow factor would assume. 

We Have a Biter.

Dudes.  I am in FRANTIC Hoard Sale prep mode,  I actually cannot believe how many of you have signed up to come.  Its humbling and terrifying at the same time.  So, sorry that I don't have a tutorial going up today,  I am afraid if I switch to tutorial mode in my mind everything will go to the crapper.  

In other news Wallace the Boston Terrier is adorable.

He loves me the most (of course he does) and we are enjoying every second with him.  Except for the seconds of searing pain from his puppy teeth.

(Also I may have rubbed turkey on Ivie’s face to get this licking action shot.)

So I need some advice.  How do we get him to stop biting?!?!  My feet thank you. 

Oh and check out this AMAZING chair I scored yesterday for the Hoard Sale (that is if you can pry my cold dead hands off of it…)
