What I’m Digging: October
Marathon week is upon us!! While we all have our favorite work out gear, I’m sharing some of my favorite workout gear.
Scope Creep and Failure
We have a linen closet that I’ve wanted to update the hardware on since the day we moved in. Thought it would be a quick change out, once I picked out the hardware. That moment is where I went wrong.
I found that DIY’ers (can I even call myself that !?!) only ever show you the super positive side of doing things themselves – and I’m here to tell you the 9180298 trips to Home Depot or 10 weeks it took us to finish something. So sit on back and listen to this funny story of insane scope creep.
- Realizing the previous homeowner’s holes were not 3″ apart.
- Once I took the cabinets off the hinges, I could see horribly they were painted.
- Didn’t realize how hard it was to accurately drill hardware holes.
What I’m Digging: September
We’re starting to flirt with Fall in Michigan – and I am leaning into it. Here’s a few of my favorite things that I’m digging to transition into the next season.
Hunter Chelsea Boots // Patagonia Women’s Los Gatos Fleece Vest // Patagonia Rain Jacket // Columbia Long Rain Jacket // J Crew 1988 Rolled Sweater
CONTINUE READINGBedroom Curtains
It’s been a process, but I think our Bedroom may be the first room that feels “done” in our house. I’ve found that if I allow myself to live in a room and let the decor/ design grow with us, I tend to love it for a longer period of time.
The goal was functional, beautiful curtains Before making investments (or shopping and returning a bunch of products), I like to draw out what I’m envisioning on my iPhoto Editor (take a photo and “Edit” it by drawing your vision on the screen), here’s my photo below:
Materials.
Curtain Rods. Umbra Cappa Curtain Rod – (2) 36 to 66 inches and (1) 66 to 120 inches
Drapery Hooks. Heavy Duty Offset Pin-On Hooks
Curtain Rings. Umbra Cappa Clip Rings
Curtains. Pottery Barn Cameron Pole – Pocket Curtains 50″ x 84″
Ditching Cable
We finally did it. We moved to a Streaming Service as our TV Provider. I know I’m making a bigger deal of this than it may be – but I’m really excited. I’ve pulled together some details of how we made the decision to move to Sling and what you’ll need to get the party started:
Backyard Updates
It is amazing what 6 weeks and some elbow grease can do – (Left – Before; Right – After).
One day it hit me how out of control our fence and side yard was – so I decided to do something about it. I went into this thinking I would be able to knock it out in a weekend- anddd 6 weeks later I’m finally done. If you’re interested to see progress in video format, head over to InstaStories.
Wedding Registry
While were in an age of having far too many options to choose from, your registry can seem daunting.
When selecting a store to register at; pick a store that you love, has a range of items, and you’d use a gift card there post wedding.
