  • Posted on July 10, 2020

We just hit three months living in this rental house. In the longest year of the history of the world, three months feels like an eternity. The four or five months left here seem equal to infinity and beyond.

We started a years-in-the-making house renovation in April 2020. Yeah, then. From there we sliced this tiny part of the internet for updates on it's progress, who's influencing us, and life in general.

We’re inching along to paint on the walls for Week 3 of @oneroomchallenge. The blog has a really amateur (and definitely embarrassing) mock-up of color on the walls. Link in bio if you dare!
Week 2 of the @oneroomchallenge and we’re talking paint on the blog, and doubt, but mostly paint. 🎨
Oh hi there 👋 It’s been a minute. You haven’t missed much. But starting today, you can watch me turn this blank space into a Secret Kids Room via @oneroomchallenge. Be sure you check out the blog to see just how secret it is.
The guest room is ready for our first friend to visit! This weather day was spent cleaning and sprucing and preparing for hubs and friend to run 50 miles this weekend. Race support duty starts tomorrow 🏃
The kitchen got a deeeeeep clean yesterday and it felt so good.
This is a picture of a spice drawer. But this is a post to say that the customer service @neatmethod is top-notch. I got my shipment of two spice jar sets on Friday. Sadly, one had broken while shipping. I emailed after hours and asked for a replacement. That replacement arrived Tuesday with a hand written note 🙂 Little things go a long way.
