Weekend Round Up

June 25, 2013

We had a crazy busy weekend last weekend both socially and around the house. I wanted to pop in and tell you about some of the projects we worked on between birthday dinners, weddings, and naps (hey, a girl’s gotta do what a girl’s gotta do). Warning: this is a photo-less post because I’m lazy and also because I didn’t take any pictures yet. So sue me. 

The biggest thing we did over the weekend was add hardware and put the drawers in the kitchen! The drawers ended up being a huge pain because we didn’t get the second coat of paint on before our glorious Southern summer humidity showed up. We ended up having to wait for a break in the weather since the humidity made the paint thick and sticky (I know there’s a dirty joke there but let’s just leave it, shall we?). 

Here’s a rundown of our other weekend accomplishments:

-Hung new interior door to cat closet. Three down, One to go! Downstairs at least….

-Added trim to bench, caulked, painted. We’re having the seat cushion made so we’re waiting to get the call that it’s done before we do the reveal!

-Lamp post. Actually, we didn’t do anything with the lamp post. We do have the new light on and working but haven’t been able to paint the post yet because of all of these crazy pop up storms.

We also planned out a few more projects to tackle in the next month or so but I’ll talk about those another day. For now, I want to give you guys a chance to win big! Everyone loves free money, right? Well, Michelle over at 4 Men 1 Lady has teamed up with Bounty and the Home Depot to giveaway a $250 Home Depot gift card. Click here to see how to enter to win!

    […] on. How about that time I mentioned that we finished our kitchen drawers but then never showed them to y…? To be fair, this project kind of burned us out and I didn’t even want to look at the drawers […]
