A quick little update & my favourite reads from the week.
It’s been an exciting week around the Mercer house! After seven weeks of waiting out backorder after backorder on this laundry set, our new washer + dryer were finally delivered this week! Not only do we have a fancy new washer + dryer to enjoy (very exciting indeed after using the old set that came with this house for the past year and a half), but even more, I’m just so happy to be done with carting our laundry to my Mom’s house. Huge gratitude all around this week!
On top of finally getting our new laundry set, we also made a decision about our hardwoods this week. This felt equally exciting to me, mostly because we’ve been humming and hawing over whether we should go with lighter or darker floors since first moving into this house (read more about that here). After all that back and forth between options, finally committing to our hardwood floors felt pretty big for us!
You can see the two options we’ve been waffling between pictured above with some of the other finishes from our primary bedroom and bathroom. While I LOVE the richness of the darker floors, I just couldn’t stop thinking about the warm tones in the lighter oak and the way it would brighten up all of the spaces around our home. Hoping to get our hardwoods ordered up this week so that we’re ready to install them once we’re done with the drywall and paint in the bedrooms upstairs (catch our latest reno update here).
We’re planning to start hanging some drywall upstairs this weekend and, once that’s all up, we’ll be able to call in some reinforcements to mud and tape while we start prepping the bathroom for tile. I’ll share some progress updates over on Instagram through the weekend my friends. SO excited to see these spaces finally coming together!
