Don’t be deceived by her smile and twinkly eyes - she woke up from a nap and chose violence. It has been 90 minutes of just spraying the cats with water every time they try to eat the tree 🎄 

I was hoping this picture would be of the bathroom but the daylight didn’t cooperate with my timing. We’re getting there though 😉

We’re so close to done I can feel it. 
Left to do:
• small bit of drywall work (sanding and painting) 
• final piece of trim to install 
• switching out the tub drain for the proper finish
• hemming shower curtain 

Not saying these won’t take time, but I hope to have them done by next weekend to photograph. We’ve put in a lot of hours this weekend, had some set backs, but also learned some new skills. This project has taken a lot longer than we anticipated but has been so worth it 😍

First tore the shower out July 17th.
It has been 86 days of showering at our friends, neighbours, and hotels.
And now, finally, after hours of work, tears, and sweat, I can shower tonight.
We’re not done - but so so much closer.

Does September feel like new beginnings to you too? Maybe it’s from so many years of school, but September always felt like more of a fresh start than January. After a long 12 months, I’m finally starting to feel like my feet are on the ground again. 

Not just in my personal life, but with projects. The shower is close to being done, the weather is cooling off so we can finish the outdoor stuff we were working on, and I’ve got some fall crafts up my sleeve. 

So I’ll be over here, soaking up the shoulder season of summer and fall ☀️ 🍂

Not really sure what day it actually is on this project 🥲 but this was about 3 working days worth of updates! Thankful for friends and resources to help us get to this next step, and also thankful to not have to use the dungeon bathroom (basement) anymore 🚽 😂 next up: waterproofing! Excited to use @schlutersystemsna Kerri Board! 

Side note: I need to keep a cordless circular saw in my car for HD trips that will require cutting wood.

Haven’t spent as much time out on the patio as I would have liked. Between the heat, the smoke, and time, it hasn’t always worked out. But the smoke has died down, it’s not super hot, and my @tikibrandproducts torches came in the other day. Not sponsored, just happy to keep the bugs away 😅 there’s still a couple months left of summer and I want to soak it all up ☀️

About Me!

Hi! I'm Alyssa and I love to DIY, decorate, and work on building a holistically beautiful and functional home. After living tiny for 3 years in a 400 sq foot apartment, we purchased a 1960's fixer-upper and love making it our own on a budget. I can't wait to continue on this journey with you!
