WHAT A MESS!

This is what my desk has looked like all summer due to grad school!!!!! I'm ready for my 2 week vacation!!!

Bedroom Update

So we decided on the Edland series furniture that we blogged about a while back... so far so good. We are very pleased with the way the room is turning out and though we are not completely finished yet we thought it was time for an update.

Custom ordered upholstered nailhead headboard in a neutral off white color.




First time I've used a power tool, as you can see it took my full concentration.. Oh and please excuse the mess, but I'm just trying to keep it real..lol

Restaurant Review: Grand Lux Cafe

5000 Westheimer Road
Houston, TX 77056-5619

The idea for Grand Lux Cafe came to life when The Venetian Resort, Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas asked David Overton, Founder of The Cheesecake Factory Restaurants, to create an upscale casual restaurant concept for their property.

Excited by the proposal and the opulent "Venetian" theme, Mr. Overton traveled to Europe to study Italian trattorias, French bistros, and the grand cafes and pastry shops of Vienna. This culinary tour through Europe, focused on food, architecture, décor and design, provided the inspiration for what the restaurant was destined to become.

Blending the grandeur and luxury of European cafes with the sensibilities and spirit of an all-American restaurant, "Grand Lux Cafe" was born. Today, with locations in Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Chicago, Dallas and Houston, Grand Lux Cafe is proud to offer it's guests unique, casual global cuisine in an elegant yet relaxed atmosphere.

Taking pictures inside using Eli's new Iphone, yes he finally got it :)




This place is beautiful inside


Oven Baked Rustic Pizza and Caesar salad, Yellow Tomato Pasta Pomodoro with Chicken Meatballs YUMMO! No, it's not the healthiest meal but it was one of the tastiest!



This place never disappoints us and thought we should share about it's greatness! They have a great lunch menu that serves til 5pm at great prices, portions are a good size, atmosphere is lively, has great service, AND we think it's way better than Cheesecake Factory.
