The August Recap

August 31, 2023

Hi! I’m hoping so many of my new friends from Instagram have landed on this post. I love to quickly recap the month and give insight on whats to come. August was full of planning and I can’t wait to share more. I’m opening up, sharing more with you guys and trying to be as purposeful as I can be – both of our time is precious and I want everything to be meaningful on both ends! We, well Greg, finished up the deck repairs and now we wait for it to sit for a few months (wood needs to acclimate) to decide on stain. 

We are FINALLY moving onto my office project. I mentioned this in the last recap, but this is going to be my FAVORITE before and after – the vision I have for this multipurpose space is so simply good. We’ll work through refreshing the original fireplace and tacking a big empty window area…I’m sure you can guess the solution! Otherwise, we’re trying to balance our jobs, parent life and social without going too hard with pressure on projects. Stay tuned on IG stories for all the behind the scenes!

In this post, I’m sharing everything we did, all the decor tips and finds for you, and much more! Thank you for being here and making all of this a dream to share. I can’t wait to see where we are in just a few months.
