July Blog Update

Thursday, July 1, 2021

 



Hello, My Lovelies!  Happy July! 

June flew by, didn't it!  We've been going to the lake a lot, and attending church when we're in town.  It's nice to get back to some normalcy!  

Our painters were finally able to paint our house.  They had to wait on a few sunny days which have been few and far between; now we can focus on the landscaping.  We have a plan, and we now have an estimate.  I really like the person we've hired to implement our designer's plan for our new landscaping.  We have a bit of a wait (probably late August), but it will be worth the wait, I think.

In the interim, we've been working on the inside of our home.  We made some changes in our dining room,


You can read more about our dining room refresh, HERE.


I'm also working on a post for next week featuring super-fun changes in our family room.  


Stay tuned!


I'm also planning on sending out my July newsletter next week.  If you haven't subscribed, please sign-up in my sidebar for my TinyLetter.  I promise I will not blow-up your inbox!


Tomorrow, I will share my book club book on Literary Friday.



Curious what our book club read?  You'll have to wait until tomorrow!
It's a secret until then!


Now that our painters finished painting the exterior of our house, we can replace our outdoor furniture and enjoy our patio and deck (as long as it doesn't rain).  Because I'm hoping we'll be eating alfresco more now that we can (finally) use our outdoor living space, I put together a simple Independence Day vignette in our breakfast room.  I didn't set the table with plates and cutlery.



I admit I'm a sucker for tacky patriotic flowers from the grocery store.  The more dye and glitter the better!




That's it for now!  Please come back tomorrow and see what my book club read for June.


Until next time...

Blessings!
