I went on a declutter spree this morning and have a box for goodwill, box for my mom and stuff for my sister. My sister is stoked bc she just got her first apt.
Other than that we are in vacation prep for the annual July 4th beach week.
When we get back we have to tackle some stuff on the to-do list. Doors won't paint themselves!

We've been too busy to get much done. I did pick up a new rug for the front porch and got more weeding done in my garden. I need to do more weeding, but I'm going to wait until tomorrow. It is supposed to be much cooler.

We're still working on finishing our living room. Still didn't find the perfect sofa that will match the carpet. The wall mirrors and paintings are almost done (ordered custom paintings) and got pretty lamps for the two corners of the sofa. Hope will finish shortly.

I put a dent in my back porch/sunroom. I moved an old ladder shelf that didn't have a home out there and it improved the room so much. I picked up some baskets for storage on the shelf and now I'm so motivated to get the new floor down and the new couch in there.
I can envision the finished room so clearly. I can't wait to have it done.
We went from having 30% of our mudroom complete to 80%. H also rehung the family room curtains that had previously been less than perfect in their spacing.
I'm actually really happy with our progress this weekend. I painted my soon-to-be-office (SW Shagreen, very nice) on Saturday. Yesterday I decluttered and cleaned our bedroom (um, first time it's actually been clean since we moved in in April) and DH got almost half of the new subway tile backsplash installed. Can't wait until the kitchen is finally DONE!
DH moved the curtain rod in my closet so I can actually use the space now!
I worked Saturday, so I didn't get much done, otherwise. I did finally get some weeding and deadheading done outside, though. I've been so busy trying to get settled inside that the outside (except the grass) has been left to itself since we bought the place.
I decided to re-do our DIY upholstered headboard and requested that H build me a build frame that I can also upholster. He cut the wood and I ordered the fabric. As soon as the fabric arrives, I will put it all together. I am so excited.
I also made a small dent in organizing my office.
I'm not ready to commit to stencil on the wall, so I made a piece of artwork for my hallway using canvas and the stencil:
