Home Tour: An Update on the Dining Room

| Home

It’s time for another room tour! I realized recently that I haven’t done an update on our dining room since we moved in June of 2018, so it was time! It’s one of the first rooms we updated, so it’s funny to me that I haven’t done a tour yet.

Let’s start with a quick before and after.

Now that we’re a third of the way through July, let’s recap everything I read in June! Whoops. My big goal for the year is to read 52 books, and I’m a bit behind, but I still managed to read 4 books last month.

Sunday Scratches #102 (On a Monday)

| Behind the Scenes

Sunday Scratches is where I share the little stuff that has happened throughout the week. In hockey, “scratches” are people who are on the roster but do not play in the game. On the blog, “scratches” are the things that have happened to me throughout the week that aren’t necessarily big enough to be an entire post.

Happy Sunday Monday! Here are the scratches for the week.

July Goals

| Behind the Scenes

Happy July! Even though it’s totally still March in my head (#pandemicbrain) I’m really happy that summer is here. I’ve got so many plans for what I want to accomplish, even if I can’t do them with other people!

But I’m getting ahead of myself. First, let’s look back on June.

101 in 1001, Take 2: Check-In #8

| Behind the Scenes

It’s time for the penultimate check-in on my 101 in 1001: Take 2 list! In just about 100 more days, I’ll wrap up this list and launch a new one. 😱 Crazy how time flies!

If you’re not familiar, 101 in 1001 is a list of 101 things I’d like to do in the next 1001 days (or approximately 2.75 years). I’m currently working on my second 101 in 1001, which started in January of 2018 and will wrap up this coming October.

Now that we’re 90% of the way through, I’ve decided not to change any more of my goals. Normally I allow for changes, especially when I have big life changes like moving from Cincinnati to Kalamazoo. But with a pandemic going on, it feels like cheating, because I’d probably change 30% of my list to things I could do in the next 100 days. Instead, I’ve started working on my third 101 in 1001 list, so all of my new ideas are going into that! Plus, I’ll carry over whatever I don’t finish.

Speaking of finishing items, here’s what I’ve completed since my last check-in!

Nail Polish Colors for Summer

I love a good nail polish. And while I have no problem wearing my favorite shades any day of the year, I really enjoy being able to match my nails to the season I’m in.

Lucky for me, we just entered summer, one of the most colorful seasons of the year! With so many options, it can get a bit intimidating… so I’ve narrowed it down to my favorite shades to rock this summer.

What I Read in May

Is anyone else having a hard time reading during quarantine? I feel like people either have a really easy time with it (because it’s an escape from how terrible the world is right now) or a really hard time with it (because it’s hard to focus or find the brain space for another story).

Even though I’ve been struggling with it, I still managed to finish three books this month!
