July Recap
July is over, and we finally have some momentum with our renovation projects! We started the month with some long overdue yard maintenance. We are hoping to get a new fence put in later this year and wanted the overgrown weeds to be trimmed back before we start to coordinate that project. A pair of vintage MCM chairs we’ve had for years are getting professionally refinished. The new appliances we ordered at the beginning of the summer were finally delivered and they look so good. I’ve slowly been purchasing new accessories for the kitchen refresh and have narrowed down the paint choices. Getting the kitchen painted is currently on pause so we could focus our attention on another big project outside. Our front porch rebuild is finally underway! This project is definitely an investment, but it was important to me that we keep the design intent of our 100 year old brick bungalow. Among all the renovations we have going on, we’ve also been reorganizing basically everything we own. This has turned into a bigger and harder project than Dan and I anticipated, but having a less cluttered home will be well worth it. Even with all these projects around the house, we’re still trying to soak up the lazy days of summer!
