August Recap
Dan and I celebrated our anniversary a week early this year, it’s actually in early September, but late August was close enough. When you’ve been married over 10 years with a kiddo, the exact date, or month, doesn’t matter anymore, but having a babysitter does.
I can’t believe summer has come and gone, and it feels like we actually accomplished some improvements around the house! The front porch rebuild is done and looks amazing. The porch was a project that was on the top of our to-do list for years, and we put it off because we knew it would be a big investment to get it done right. It was definitely worth the wait, and a great reminder that it’s ok to take your time when renovating especially if it is your forever home. We also got a couple of vintage mid-century modern chairs professionally refinished. These chairs were another great example of waiting to get something done right. We’ve had them longer than we had the house, having them refinished was never a priority, but I’m so glad to have them back and looking good! The next couple of projects on our to-do list are to get the kitchen painted and have a new fence installed. I doubt we’ll get either of those done in September, but I’m hoping both should be attainable by the end of fall.
