in news completely unrelated to this photo, we picked up our first csa share of the season! we decided to do it through our local farm + max gets to see various animals at pickup so it’s a win win for us all. now...any good ideas for using garlic scapes?! #farmhousedialfano #mstarrdesign http://liketk.it/2CDdu @liketoknow.it @liketoknow.it.home @liketoknow.it.family #liketkit #LTKhome #LTKkids #LTKfamily

already missing our peonies... #farmhousedialfano #mstarrdesign / http://liketk.it/2CxrS @liketoknow.it #liketkit #LTKhome @liketoknow.it.home

ok so i don’t even care that i’m showing the most boring corner in our house (normally inhabited by microwave/toaster/coffee maker) because this is the one area of the backsplash that is done and i’m officially dead. seriously. and now i’m re-thinking what shelf/shelves to put back up here to try and actually make the area pretty?! tile is @fireclaytile klamath and if you zoom in you can see how perfectly imperfect it is. #farmhousedialfano #mstarrdesign

while the end result is worth it, our little house is not exactly conducive to work being done. there’s chaos everywhere you look but these insane dahlias from @youngfamilyfarm prompted me to straighten up the living room and i was able to breathe a bit. the update on the kitchen by the way is that the big wall will be finished + grouted tomorrow and the wall behind the sink will be done hopefully by the end of next week! #farmhousedialfano #mstarrdesign http://liketk.it/2CsLT #liketkit @liketoknow.it #LTKhome @liketoknow.it.home

the last of our peonies on my 40th birthday. cut by a sun kissed + windswept max and me after a most perfect day in rhode island (check out stories to see everything we did) and really a most perfect weekend. the weather was unreal and there’s no one i would rather share back-to-back birthdays with! FUN FACT: i went into labor 3 weeks early at 7pm on june 8th and it was assumed max + i would share a birthday. but in true determined fashion, she made her debut in just under 5 hours at 11:48pm and snagged her own birthday. ✨

ps. how good is our @fireclaytile backsplash gonna look?! #farmhousedialfano

THREE. words can’t describe the joy you bring to our lives, those who know you, and those you meet. stay curious, silly + kind my free spirited girl. #maxrosealfano #tunneloflovenatick
