Fresh Coat of Paint and a New Name

It's amazing how much of a difference a fresh coat of paint can in a room! That's what I spent most of my Saturday doing, cleaning, prepping, then finally painting our kitchen, and we LOVE how it turned out! We are slowly (and I mean slooooooowly) renovating our kitchen piece by piece. Here's a picture of what we started with when we moved in almost four years...

Once i've updated...

For today's motivation, I found a couple pins from pinterest that I keep referring back to when I get into a rut and find it hard to just get out the door. My next 5k is three weeks away and I feel very behind in my training, but I...

Updated Mirror

   When we first moved into our house a little over three years ago, there was ugly wallpaper in almost every room, but slowly and often times it was very frustrating, we removed almost all of it (I'll get to that in a later post). There was a mirror in the downstairs bathroom that I absolutely loved, but there was one thing that I didn't like about...
