Sharing a quick update on life currently.
It’s been just over a week now since moving into our new home (you can catch up with that journey here if you missed it) and we’re already diving into a few projects around the house. There’s SO much to do, honestly, it’s hard to know where to start.
We’ve slowly been chipping away at all the little things that need to be done just for us to be able to function in our day-to-day, you know things like mounting bookshelves, installing towel hooks and mounting new stick vacuums (pretty excited about this beauty!). Brady’s also been working his way through some of the many little projects and repairs that have come up along the way too. Really, we’ve mostly spent our week just trying to get the house unpacked, set up and somewhat organized so that we can get started with some of the more fun projects we’ve been planning.
In between trying to get all the little things done this week, we did manage to tackle our first little reno project in the new house too (mostly because we hired it out to someone else!). The day we got possession of this house I called up a local painting company (the same one we’d hired to paint the exterior of our old house last month) to paint our front entryway walls and ceilings. It’s a tricky little space with crazy tall ceilings and a spiral staircase wall that I knew would require some special equipment to paint around, plus, calling in some reinforcements would mean I could have my walls painted for me while I was working away on all the other things that still needed to be done. They were able to squeeze us into their schedule just a few days after we moved in and I couldn’t be more thrilled with the results!
Seeing this first little glimpse of progress was just what we needed after all the disappointment we’d felt during our move (you can catch up with that story here if you missed it) and now I’m just itching to get to work on the rest! I can’t wait to share our plans with you!
And now, here’s a quick little update of where we are currently…
