Click. Read. Love. 8.30.19

I honestly can’t believe it’s already Labor Day weekend. While part of this summer felt like it dragged on forever, in the scheme of things it flew by. We are gearing up to refinish our floors so we’ll be moving everything out of the first floor the next few days. Then we paint the nursery and we’re ready to decorate! I just got the final design revision from Modsy and I love it so much. I can’t wait to share it with you. Wishing all of you a great weekend and sending safe wishes to everyone in the path of the Hurricane.
