Sharing memories of summer and simple summer bathroom decor for ideas and inspiration.
Hello, August. It’s nice to see you again.
This time last year, we were hauling block for the garage foundation, counting down the days until we got hitched and had a stress level out of this world 🙂
Funny how much changes in a year.
Next weekend we’re actually building the garage; the project that has been two and a half years in the making. The project that had us staying up until dark, trying to get all the block in before our family descended on us for the wedding.
Speaking of wedding, we’re coming up on our one year wedding anniversary. ONE YEAR, my friends. I find myself constantly thinking if they’re all going to fly by this fast?
August is also marks being in the house for 2.5 years. And this bathroom? It was our very first start-to-finish room renovation project.
Technically, the entryway was the first space but it isn’t actually done, so we can’t really count it. The bathroom on the other hand, while there are things we want to go back and update, is completely done. The trim, the tile, the counters, the sink – everything is installed and finished and working.
I still remember going to our builder outlet store with Brett and my parents, picking out the tile floor. And then a few months later, strolling the aisles of Lowe’s in West Saint Paul at 9 o’clock in the evening, on our way home from some family function.
It’s funny what memories stick out when looking back – which ones make an impact on us and which ones fade into the dark.
So, as we wind down another summer season, I wonder where we’ll be next August…
While I can’t be sure what memories will spark next year, one thing is for sure. I know we’ll be looking back, thankful for another year in a house that we get to make our own.
All our best,
