Good morning! I hope you all had an enjoyable weekend. It’s hard to believe Easter is already this week! Here’s a bit of what we’ve been up to lately.

Home Projects & Updates
I wrapped up my final details in the den and have it photographed, so I’ll be sharing that soon! Steaming the linen drapes was definitely the least favorite part of this little makeover 😉
We got this semi-flush mount bead chandelier installed in my closet last week! The one for Kurtis’ side arrive too so we’re so close to wrapping everything up.
I ordered some of my Florida drone pics in a printed version so I could verify the quality. I ordered from Mpix and was very happy with the quality! That larger size is a 20×30 and the others are 9×12 sizes. Next step is figuring out what platform I’ll put them on so you guys can also print them!
We had ordered a dumpster to assist in our spring cleaning efforts. I may have been a bit overzealous when picking this size. I think we only filled it to the second set of vertical pieces. Ha! Good thing our friends had some items to add, so now it’s almost half full 😉 Turns out we had way more donations that actually items that needed to be pitched – which is always a good thing!
Kurtis also power washed the pool deck and all of our other pavers and courtyard concrete. This is the newer version of the pressure washer we have and love. It’s so easy to move around. Spring feels so close!
And in stupid-moves-on-my-part news, I somehow got paint from the closet on our dresser. And it was a pretty sizeable splotch. Below is after I scraped off all of it that I could. It honestly looked like bird poop at that point! Thankfully my friend Jill had one of the PB Seadrift kits.
Here’s after I used a mix of the marker and the wax. I feel like after another day it blends even better than the picture below! I was also able to touch up an area on our Sausalito vanity with the same kit! You can see all of their touch-up kits here, but I was super impressed with the supplies included and how well it worked!
I wrapped up spring decorating and photos in several rooms so I’m hoping to share our spring home tour by next week if all goes according to plan! I hadn’t made any changes in our main guest bedroom for quite some time, so it was fun to swap things out. I also finally found a great look for less option for our shadowbox fan palm art. Ours is this version, but this one looks very similar. It’s definitely smaller than ours but may be a good option if you’re on the hunt for something similar!

Here are the faux poppies I featured in last week’s Wednesday Watch List! This is just once set and I think they look so cute in the pool house bathroom for spring!

In Case You Missed It
Following are the posts I shared over the past two weeks, in case you missed some days!
Following are the most read blog posts of last week (excluding any of the new posts already mentioned above). Many times this includes old posts that are popular on Google or Pinterest.
Around Town & For Fun
The weather has been all over the board lately, but there were definitely some nights that were fire worthy! We started watching Bad Vegan on Netflix and had it finished by the end of the weekend. All of these swindler type documentaries have been fascinating to us!
It snowed again. Enough said.
I’ve started filling up my bird feeders again. In this photo I was trying to take a picture of the various finch that were on the feeder and a cardinal happened to swoop in at the same time!
The cats got to go outside on the pool deck on one of the warmer days. They clearly are in heaven when they can spread out on the warm pavers!
Hawkeye could sit at this door all day (and sometimes does if we open the door and use the screens)!
We’ve been storing our goddaughter’s birthday gift from her parents in our garage for a bit. Nick came over to wash it when Kurtis had the power washer out. They actually got the car for “free” several years ago with Jill’s car, and they finally feel she is old enough to use it. She’s for sure going to freak out when she sees it later this week!
We also had a fun midweek dinner out with Kurtis’ sister and brother-in-law, a date night on Friday which we actually hadn’t done in quite some time, and then grilled out with our BFFs and their girls on Saturday. Lots of fun meals!
I finally went out and rearranged our solar landscaping lights! They tend to get messed up through the winter so I have to go rearrange them all and point them the correct direction again. This is the second year running with the same set and we’re still really happy with them!
The plan is to have the pool openend on Friday! The weather is supposed to be freezing all weekend, so hopefully it still happens, but we’re excited to see the water again!

Hi, I love your Weekend Recap, always encompasses, well, everything.
Hope your Friday plans to open your pool go as planned despite your predicted cold weather. I live in Ohio and our weather has been cold, rainy, snow flurries, warm, sunny and pretty much on repeat.
