New Industrial Living Room Sconces

Did you all have a fabulous holiday weekend?  Ours was productive/exhausting.  Don't worry.  We're taking a little vacation here soon.  Ike too.  Ike really needs a vacation.  He's excited for a week at the lake.

We made excellent progress in our living room.  It'll still be another week or two until the reveal because it's quite the undertaking.  We are loving the progress we have made so far.  Nate's building skills always impress me.  This may be his most impressive building work yet.  He's lucky he has me to give him crazy ideas. 

We finally picked out living room sconces.  Some of you questioned our choice in industrial lighting.  Mainly the functionality of industrial lighting.  We appreciate your thoughts!  You definitely gave us a lot to think about.  In the end, we felt they were the perfect solution for living room update.

I finally made a curtain decision.  It's definitely a bolder choice than I would normally make.  Bold equals scary.  I'm now into scary.  Maybe I'm even grown-up enough for horror films?  Wait. No.  Too scary.

(Although, I have seen them pop up more and more lately.)   I kept thinking there is probably a reason.  Eh. I figured I'd order some and give it a try.  (I went with the Threshold Grommet in black.)

Tour Through Blogland

Today is a big day.  I'm participating in the Tour Through Blogland.  (Google it. It's a thing. I swear.)  My buddy, Caitlin, over at Desert Domicile asked me to join in on the fun.  I can never turn down blog fun.

If you're new here, run.  I kid.  It's not all bad.  I have a super cute dog.

The Tour Through Blogland includes a few questions and snooping through my house.  I'll post some of my favorites but you can take the full tour here!  (The full tour includes sources and paint colors!)

Here's the exterior of our house.  We needed a color besides the traditional tan or white.  Blue it was.  I love this color so much.  We've actually had strangers stop by to ask us about the siding we used.
