😭😭😭 This is what holds me back from working on some of our big windows. They are in desperate need of repair, but some of these wavy glass panels are like 4 feet tall and I would lose it if I break them.

I’ve really been trying to save money for some outdoor projects this summer, but I think we can all agree that this $20 chaise lounge was an essential purchase.

I don’t know. Do I have too many plants?

Also, I picked up a cute curb bike across the street.

I also just remembered that I put this horrifying antique snowman ornament inside the half wall when I boarded it up. I cannot wait for someone to find this when I’m dead in 50 years.

I was feeling kind of bad about how long it’s taken to fix up the back entryway, but then I found these pictures of what it was like shortly after we moved in 😬
