Before Matt and I bought our house, we always talked about all the things we would do to make it unique. We watched HGTV for countless hours and I made a Pinterest board for all our projects. For some reason, we forgot that projects require doing a lot of work. Soooo, Matt and I did zero house projects for the first 6 months in our home {excluding hanging pics and painting an accent wall}.
Fast forward to this past weekend when we finally did all our procrastinated housework in 2 days. We {and by we I mean Matt's parents. Thanks mom & dad! :P } cleaned out our garage, built new shelving, mopped the floors, painted another accent wall, built a headboard, reorganized our office, and the list goes on.
We definitely experienced the joys and sorrows of home ownership this weekend. Joys: you get to do whatever you want to make it yours and be proud of it! Sorrows: you have to pay lots of money to get things fixed like broken A/Cs and cracks in your concrete slab foundation.
All that to say, check out some of our work from this weekend! We're pretty excited about it :)
