Hey there, everyone! The weekend is winding down and I hope you had a great one. Ours was filled with house projects, but we managed to squeeze in a date night.
SATURDAY:
The day started with coffee, breakfast, and a workout (which I will share in a separate post because it’s a good one).
When I got home, we spent the day working on our house. Stair stripping, pantry painting, curtain hanging, cleaning and yard work. Riveting stuff, I know haha! But it is SO exciting for us! Our house feels more homey with every project we accomplish.
Shout out to my husband who works his butt off all day and still spends his weekends on projects. He never complains and I am beyond lucky to have this sweet handyman!
After house work and a shower we decided to get out of the house and have a date night. We had movie credits so we went to dinner at Northstar Cafe, then saw the new Planet Of The Apes. We had so much fun.
SUNDAY:
After coffee and breakfast, I went to church. After church I made an egg, turkey bacon and cheese foldover with plantain chips for lunch.
So tasty.
Next was SO. MUCH. HOUSE. WORK.
My finished pantry!! It was white and I painted it to match our cabinets. The assembly portion was all my husband!
We continued our projects and worked until we wanted dinner. Dinner was bomb!! Chicken legs and baked pickles wrapped in turkey bacon.
Before baking!
My plate!
Now off for a little relaxing before bed!
Have a great night!
With love,
Carly

I love this post so much because the hubs and I spend our Saturday sanding and painting our kitchen cabinets! You are absolutely right though, with each project we complete it feels more and more like our home 🙂 great post!

Yes!!! Sanding and painting our kitchen cabinets was a task, that’s for sure! But looking at all we have done compared to when we started makes me feel so proud of us. Good luck with your projects!
