Yet another room in our home now has curtains! Hooray 🙂 It’s little finishing touches like this that really make me feel like we’re making progress.

Right now, progress looks like…. An empty bathroom prepped for tile. An assembled vanity in the living room. Three ceiling light boxes installed waiting for lights. Two bedrooms mostly painted. Painted den windows.. with excessive tape residue leftover. A makeshift worktable in the dining room. Can we just have an honest moment here? Sometimes looking
