Renovations continue this week in Florida, the hall bathroom floor and vanity installation is scheduled and I?m making final selections on the wallpaper I?ll be adding to the space. Matt and my son arrive this week so we will be working a few hours on the house each day, then spending the afternoons and evenings enjoying summer.
So far the weather has been warm, with temperatures in the 90s and it?s more humid in the afternoons, but not as bad as I had heard. :) It?s really nice being near the coast. I feel so fortunate that I can hop in my car and be at a beach in a few minutes. I?ve enjoyed several stunning and spontaneous sunset viewings that way. I hope you all are finding joy this summer too. Favorite links from the week:
