February was a BIG month around here. We finally got the tile up around the fireplace in the study, hung our new curtains and best of all, had new carpet installed, both in the study and on our staircases. This means that not only can we finally call at least one room in our house DONE (well, aside from a few furniture pieces anyway), but we can also walk down our stairs without metal nosing digging into our feet or scraping our heels on rocks. It’s made such a big difference to the look, feel and function of both of these areas.
In between all that, we kept plugging away with our renovations upstairs (catch up with our latest update here), finally planned out our ensuite design and started ordering up all of the materials and of course, enjoyed a whole lot of real life in there too.
Read on for a quick little update of where we are currently…
CURRENTLY
Reading: I just finished up this powerful book and absolutely loved it! Moving onto this one next, which has great reviews as well.
Needing: Our dryer is on the fritz and I’ve decided I’m going to take advantage of the opportunity to replace our washer and dryer. I’ve hated our washer ever since moving into this house, but held off on replacing it because I thought there may be a chance that we’d put in two laundry sets when we got around to renovating our laundry room and I wanted them to match. That day is getting further away by the minute though and I’m tired of waiting and making due. So, laundry set shopping it is! Any recommendations to share?
Creating: I’ve been playing around with mood boards for our primary bedroom for weeks now and even shared the first week in last week’s Newsletter (sign up here if you missed it). If you want to try your hand at making your own mood boards, I shared a tutorial a few weeks ago that walks you through every step.
Loving: Our newly finished Study!!!
To Do: Brady’s planning to keep plugging away at the bedrooms and ensuite renovation upstairs. Hoping I’ll have an update to share soon!
Wearing: We’ve gone from Spring back to Winter around here these past few weeks (typical Alberta weather), but luckily these cute boots can do it all.
On my wish list: I’ve been eying up these beautiful zodiac medallions for ages now, I’d pair it with this chain.
Planning: Now that the ensuite bath is planned out, our bedroom and closet plans are next on my list to work through.
Working for me right now: I’m so excited to be training for another 1/2 marathon this May (this will be my 7th one!). Having a goal always helps to keep me motivated and push myself forward.
What’s not: The big old dump of snow we got last week. Spring felt SO darn close one short week ago and now it’s feeling more like Winter that it has all season. Let’s hope this latest dump melts away quickly!
Anticipating: Now that we’ve got the Study renovation all wrapped up, I’m hoping we’ll see some faster progress with our renos upstairs. Here’s hoping we have loads of progress to share with you soon!
I’d LOVE to hear where are you currently! Let me know what’s new and exciting in the comments below.
Wishing you SUCH a lovely day my friends!
