Honau Kai- Settling in

We arrived late on Saturday, so we made it to the condo and crashed. 

Waking up Sunday we really got to experience it in sunlight. 

I could not have been happier! 

We stayed in a 1 bedroom condo with an Ocean View with a full kitchen with dishwasher, full bath with both a bath and shower, with so many amenities. 

The Honua Kai had two work out rooms which we took advantage of!

Three pools which Joe took advantage of while I read...

Beach front access....

Not to mention very helpful customer service.

Sunday morning, we woke up and headed of to the grocery store to get some supplies we needed for the week.  OMG Hawaii is expensive!  We purchased stuff for breakfast, lunches, and some dinners.

This was by far the smartest thing we did because eating out was so expensive!!!

 

We spent $130 which included

Loaf of bread

Turkey lunch meat

Cheese

Avocados

Onion

Basil

Stuff for pizza

Pasta

Sauce

Beer

Wine

Sparkling Wine

Cereal

Yogurt

Chips

Tortilla Chips

Butter

Coffee

Creamer

Pineapple

Mango

Bananas

This turned out to be the perfect amount of food.

We made more than 15 meals of it. 

$130 divided by 15= 8.6 per meal,

divided by 2 = 4.3$ per person per meal. 

Up next.... How we spent our days....

New Color of Life

Sorry I have not been blogging lately but life has been busy!
So I have alot to blog about after a month of not blogging..

First up... New Guest Room
Lately I have fallen in love with Gray...

Yes I know this is crazy but I have seen it in the magazines as a new cool color.  

So I decided to start working on my summer project- the extra guest room.  

Joe and I have putting this off for a while now because I did not know what I wanted to do with the room.  But after a lot of consideration, I have decided to turn it into another guest room. 

First process was heading to Home Depot to get some color swatches.  

I brought them home, tapped them up to the wall.  Then Joe and I looked at the swatches in the room both during the day and at night because the shades of Gray really change based on the lights.  Thankfully, we both picked the same favorite.  

Next we headed to the store to pick up the Behr Paint and Primer in one. 

I then came home one night to find the room already tapped!!!

AWESOME HUBBY!!!!

The following night after Joe got home from work we went to work on painting the room.  

We did it all in under 1 hour which was awesome.  

We have gotten so we have a good system of painting.  

I do the trim and touch ups while Joe does the big portions.  

I am also the washcloth lady- i.e if me make a mistake we clean it with a wet wash cloth ASAP so there are less touch up later.  

I decided to also paint the light switches white, they were previously yellow the same color as the room.  I thought the white would help them pop!

 Finish Product!!!!

Now I just have to work on getting furniture which I am hoping Craigslist will help with!!!

My plan is to add a bed, skinny tall dresses and small side table!

Another Project Complete

Awhile ago, I blogged about looking into getting new carpets for our basement. 

The carpet was old and coming up.  

Well a couple weeks ago they came and installed them!

We ended up going with CarpetLand because they were the only company that did not nickle and dime you.

We moved everything out except for the couch prior to the workers showing up.

The workers showed up at 10 am and were done by 12pm.

The color we decided to go with was similar but the carpet itself is so nice and soft!

No more carpet coming up!
