Projects at CCC

Arnie the Bulldog


As you can see, Arnie the bulldog not only likes blue and white, but ChappyWrap blankets as well. My dogs are likewise ChappyWrap fanatics, and hog the blanket at night. I might need to get them their own. The ChappyWrap Valentine's Day Collection drops today at 10 AM ET. Isn't it darling with all the pink?



ChappyWrap V-Day Collection



I have been on a tear with January and New Year's projects here at CCC. Yesterday, I -

*Took the Audi in for maintenance.

*Ordered the French Kitchen Island that I posted about yesterday.

*The wicker snail side table was delivered and it is seriously fabulous. UPS showed up after dark, so I will take pictures today to post. It is amazing. A++++++.


Snail Rattan Side Table


OK, a sneak peek. Later, I will introduce him/her to the wicker elephant - LOL. Did you know that snails are hermaphrodites? They have both male and female reproductive cells.

*Scheduled my pressure washer guy for the driveway, walkways, gutters, and such.

*Finalized my exterior paint selections and sent them off to my painter. Did you know there is a paint shortage? We are getting the paint in advance so there are no problems. I will post tomorrow on my choices.

*And it is chilly here is South Florida, but I still have not used my heat a single time in two winters in my home. My ChappyWrap blanket felt very good last night.

  1. I admire how productive your January has been Beth! The kitchen island you have selected is the peak of simple sophistication, just gorgeous. I received my first Chappy Wrap last week, the ginger jar print, and it absolutely lives up to the hype. We had to break down and turn the heat on last night here in Jacksonville as it went down to 28 degrees, all of my plants had to be covered and wrapped too. Thank goodness we only have to deal with this level of cold a few times a year!

    1. I am so glad you like your ChappyWrap - I love the ginger jar print. You are quite far north of me, so it does get colder than Venice. We have not gotten below the mid forties at night thankfully.

  2. I love your posts and your beautiful home. And today we even had a biology class thrown in for good measure.

  3. I have been following you for years -- love your daily posts. I am also a former Chicago area gal raised in the Marshall Field's tradition but living in Southern California for the last 30 years! I enjoy your style and shopping tips. You find the best deals!!! Regarding Chappy Wrap -- I also follow a great Chicago area blogger named Danielle Moss. She is currently working on a Chappy Wrap collaboration in which 30% of all sales go to childhood cancer. Just wanted to share in case you didn't know. I thought your energy and enthusiasm could get behind that effort!

    1. I don't miss those Chicago winters at all. I saw Danielle's story and darling rainbow blankets and will definitely post when they launch. Although intended for children, they would be great for pups as well and I will get one. Thank you!

  4. I got the same "paint shortage" line from my guy. I told him to cancel my job and somehow thirty gallons appeared the next day at the price he originally quoted!!

    1. There actually are shortages, especially with exterior paint. It has to do with resin shortages.
