Home Improvement!

We have been working on a few small home updates the past few weekends.  Matt's foot is a lot better but he is not quite ready to boat yet, so we decided to do some work inside in the house :)

First, we gave the laundry room a little refresh.  Here are the before pictures:



This chalk board wall stayed the same.


I painted inside and Matt took the cabinet shelves and fronts off and sprayed them outside.



We painted the cabinets, updated the hardware, touched up a few mismatched paint spots on the wall, and updated the utility sink.






Some other house updates involved finally buying a few sets of blinds that work!  We have never had blinds that can be opened/closed correctly - you just have to move each slat - so I am loving being able to open and close the blinds on these 2 windows :)



We also got a new desk chair!  We had a big, black office chair for years and while comfy, it is the first thing you see when entering the house and since we keep our computer/office area out in the open I wanted to update it.



I bought this sign for the laundry room and love it - but it was too big for that space so I found a new home for it.


The last project was switching out the garage lights.  Our house exterior used to be a light tan color and the brown lights worked, but after we painted the house we knew we wanted something a bit darker and larger.


Matt's uncle has a lantern shop in MA and we got 2 of his lights to hang.  We love them :)
