Happy Friday 1/7/22

Happy Friday! How’s your 2022 shaping up? We’re feeling optimistic and excited and crossing all of our fingers and toes that we wrap up our primary bathroom remodel this year! ;) What are your goals? We had epic snow fall in our part of the world this week - cancelled school, can’t get out of the driveway kind of snow - and I snapped this photo before spending an hour shoveling a path from our truck to our front door. I’m not usually a winter person, but I’m actually loving this snowy wonderland!

I hate to be the person that tells you everything wrong with my house when I share a picture, but a new paint job is definitely on our would-love-to-get-to-it list of house projects for 2022 (if we were organized enough to make such a list ;). You can see the color scheme we’re dreaming about here including historic colorized photos of the Farmhouse!
