Hi, friends! I haven't written here in a while and wanted to send out an update. It's been quite a year with a lot of changes in our life. We recently bought our first house (just one neighborhood over from where we were renting), Matty switched schools and started 1st grade, and Hannah has been growing so fast (and even lost her first tooth a couple of weeks ago!).
We love our new neighborhood! We're even closer to my parents, have met a couple of truly great families close by, and feel really at-home and settled here. We're working on making it more "ours" slowly but surely and I'm loving the updates we've done so far!
We (read: Matt) painted the kitchen cabinets and added new hardware, updated our exterior light fixtures, and switched out the foyer light fixture (plus a couple of smaller updates here and there). For the kitchen cabinets, we tried a more cost effective paint first but wound up going with Benjamin Moore Advance in the end. The price difference is worth it! The white we used is called Simply White and the green is Willow Grove. I love the natural tones of our granite countertops and I think the two cabinet colors add to that nicely. This project turned out to be a much larger undertaking than both of us imagined. I'll share tips and tricks we found useful along the way in another post!
We plan to update the backsplash in the kitchen and make our living room more usable next. Can't wait to be able to spend time on our main level more comfortably!
I hope you've been doing well and taking care of yourself during this time. I'm trying to focus on doing things that bring me joy and spending quality time with Matt and the kiddos. What have you found that makes you feel the most joy lately? I'd love to know!
Will write soon - Alex
