B&B {Belly & Bearsy}

This is a very busy week for us. We are packing up the condo getting ready to head to Chicago. Our little girl is growing each & every day. Her kicks & punches are finally strong enough for my hubby to feel.  As far as our little man, well he is still a little man. I swear he thinks he is a human.

Rent Me

Our condo is for rent! Make our home yours this September. Check out/share this link if you or someone you know are looking for a place in Quebec City. Where are we going? We are headed to Chicago for the next 9 months or so. Goodbye Quebec hello Chicago.

Table Talk

Our new city condo meant downsizing our six seater dining room table to four. I saw this as a perfect excuse for a little thrift store shopping. We stumbled upon this beauty of an oak table in Vancouver. Our new purchase was a fraction of the price compared to my dream table. The only problem, it wasn't white. While we thought we could sand down and refinish it we knew we would be biting off more than we could chew. We stumbled upon a vintage store in Quebec City who happened to refinish old goods. We sent this bad boy off for two weeks of sanding, priming, sanding, painting, repeat x8. It returned a whole new table! Beautiful, clean, & white.

We paired the heavy white oak with light aluminum chairs.

Ta da!! I am paranoid about scratches, so for now it has a table cloth.  As well as vintage glass bottles (which hold candles during special events). Best part is two leaves can be added to allow 6 people to dine comfortably. We will be testing this out tonight for our first dinner party of the summer!

Feel Good Friday- New Surroundings

We have truly enjoyed our first few weeks in our new home. Our favorite part? We are in the heart of the city & we can walk to everything. Pubs, bistros, markets, shopping, coffee shops, etc. it is all right outside our door. Here are some pictures of our new surroundings. 

 Gorgeous church that can be seen & heard form our front balcony.

All the food & shopping is right that way.

 A historic art museum 

Patios line the entire street

So close to the water this area is full of paths, parks, & lots of people.

Moving Chaos

Moving day, well what can you say about it? It was crazy long & a lot of work. But what moving day isn't? Our day started at 7am & we finally crashed somewhere after 1am. We had such wonderful help from all of our friends & family. We greatly appreciate your patience (several Uhaul trips) & strength (appliances up 3 flights of stairs). Our condo is slowly starting to come together. Here are some pictures from the chaotic day.

Let the moving begin!

 Will it all fit? Million dollar question.

 Little closet....  lots of clothes.

 Garbage corner.

 What will be my office area.

 Not for sale! 

 Main hallway

Bear could you get off your buns and help?

Movin Day..almost!

We have a big day ahead of us tomorrow. We finally get the keys to our new condo!!! A majority of our goods are in storage the rest is sprawled out everywhere from our U-Haul. Our poor families have had to put up with us & all of our luggage for nearly a month now. We are so excited to settle into our new place. I can't wait to unpack, decorate, & make it our own. Poor Bear doesn't even know where home is anymore!

Our Dream Condo

My fiancé & I are beyond excited to move into our new place this summer! Located right in the heart of the city; we are within walking distance to bakeries, pubs, coffee houses, and boutiques. We can't wait to add our little touches & truly make this place our own.

Love the outside of our building, looks so homey. Can't wait to enjoy morning coffee on the front balcony.

Original hardwood floors, open floor plan, & exposed brick what more could we want?

How about a cute little built-in bookshelf to home all of my vintage books I hoard collect.

Love the storage we will have in this newly remodeled kitchen. Imagine all the crepes that will be made in this space! 

We are on the hunt for the perfect round table that extends allowing us to host all of our family over for dinner parties. 

Updated kitchen & bath? Score! The lighting is perfect for makeup application :)

The master bedroom has wonderful lighting.

Spare bedroom is quite spacious and will be ready for visitors this summer....any takers?!

{Can't wait to share more pictures after we move in}

Feel Good Friday-New Casa!

After an exhausting condo search in the beautiful downtown Quebec City area, we have finally purchased our dream home! While I am not revealing any pictures yet, I am hinting to you our new address, which happens to be one of my favorite songs, Aberdeen.

{Check back next week to see pictures of our new place!}
