Happy Friday 5/3/19

Happy Friday! Soooo…we put an offer on a house this week. A rental. I think it was only on the market for 20 seconds before I saw it, texted our real estate agent, and set up a showing. And then I had to keep my cool all morning while we waited to see it. Guys, I am excited about this one! Crossing my fingers I’ll have more to share next week.

I have been eagerly watching this kitchen come together on IG. It’s a collaboration between Katie Hackworth, one of my favorite designers, and Aran Goyoaga, the creative behind Canelle et Vanille. No surprise here, but the kitchen is amazing!

I took a step down on the career latter and I’ve never been happier.

We’ll be gardening this weekend and I’m taking inspiration from this backyard. Also, I’m excited to finally get this lavender out of the bathroom and into the ground.

These painted floors stopped me in my tracks. We’ve been thinking about painting hardwood floors again because it’s such an inexpensive way to keep floors that have outlived refinishing.

Taking stock. Slowing down. And paying attention. I read every word of Anna’s post about their shifting blog.

10 Ways to Lower Your Life’s Fixed Costs. A good reminder for all of us.

And since we’re on the subject of money, here’s a few words from Mr. Money' Mustache’s recent article: “if you have any sort of income at all, it is probably enough to make you feel rich. The only question is, what changes do you need to make to your life over the next few months to unlock this joyful feeling?”

Have a great weekend!
