When Family Trumps Projects

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.

  1. Good for you! I’m so glad you got to relax with your family. Also, Ikea vanities are the bomb (yes I said bomb).
