Our Front Door Is Installed!👏🏻I’ve craved Our Front Door Is Installed!👏🏻I’ve craved a door like this for over 5 years. Lots of glass and light-colored wood. I have lots of similar doors saved in my camera roll to prove it. I’m so happy it’s finally mine!
.
.
This was the first choice I made on our exterior renovation. All other choices were made because they compliment this door. Like I really like it a lot!😍But also you have to start somewhere with all of the decisions in a renovation, make one choice that will influence the rest.
.
.
Cannot wait to get it sealed and protected from the elements so it’ll last for a looonnnnggg time!🤩

Do you think Lucy is a natural with the camera?😆No coaching necessary!

It hit me last night. THIS is the house my kids wi It hit me last night. THIS is the house my kids will grow up in. This will be the background to their memories. They won’t remember the broken tile, unpainted handrails or all of the works in progress like they’ll remember how their home made them feel.
.
.
They don’t need anything fancy, just a place to let their imaginations run wild.🌿I’m praying to keep that in mind with all of the decisions I’ve yet to make during this renovation process! If they can’t fully live here, neither can I.🥰

Today brought me right back to this time last year Today brought me right back to this time last year during the first part of ‘Lockdown 2020’. When the only people we saw besides our family were the municipal workers picking up our garbage.🤪But it also brought back the best memories of playing outside all day, getting plenty of snuggles, and the most perfect springy weather. It was a weird time but I feel like I was the best version of myself. And I don’t want to ever forget Spring 2020.
.

I hope we have even more memories to add to the bank for Spring 2021!☀️🌸
