Well, we tried to have a reveal for you today. Kind of. I spent the whole day yesterday sanding and painting our old vanity to bring it up to par with the rest of the room, but around 3 pm, the paint started acting weird and peeling and it wasn't looking the greatest. Chris suggested buying a new vanity and I couldn't say no. When your husband says, "Maybe we better just get a new piece of furniture." You say yes. So, after he was done with work, we drove the 45 minutes to Ikea and picked out a vanity that we loved and then on the way home, before our Home Depot stop to pick up a toilet seat and caulk--we stopped for dinner. And really enjoyed it. Salad and sandwiches at Zuppas isn't fancy, but it was so nice to be sitting down and eating together and laughing and then I realized, stopping for this sit-down dinner meant we probably wouldn't get the laundry room done tonight, and I felt okay about that. This trumps projects:
(Our fall family picture!) That said, the vanity will look gorg. The gallery I hung up this morning looks amazing. And we still gotta figure out the plumbing for that darn sink. Monday. Reveal. Promise.
Tonight we are gonna do more of what I talked about above--the laughing and eating part. Maybe even carve some pumpkins. What's on your agenda??
Happy weekend, friends.
