    24 Paint Samples

    Choosing paint colors was the part I’ve been dreading most about this kitchen renovation. Any indecisive person can relate to my nightmare: having to choose from 17 million colors. I’ve been scouring Pinterest for weeks now and had a list of colors I wanted to try so when I left Home Depot on Saturday with 12 paint samples, I was pretty confident that I would have at least one color that I liked. After all, I only had 5 paint samples for the outside of the house and chose one almost immediately.

    Happy Friday my long, lost friends! It’s been forever since I’ve update y’all on anything other than the kitchen, so let’s catch up. Graduation {our busiest week of the year} was last week.

    Sloan Kitchen Challenge | More Progress

    Happy Monday Tuesday Wednesday, y’all! I know I’ve sucked at blogging but it’s because I don’t have much to share. Turns out, when you’re renovating your kitchen, that’s pretty much all you have the time {or energy} for. I know it would get old after multiple weekending post of the same ‘ole stuff. Pulling wire and hanging drywall is not that interesting!  We are so ready for our house to be back to normal that we spend every waking second trying to get the kitchen finished. Unfortunately, that doesn’t leave much time for anything, let alone blogging. I’ve got an inbox full of comments to respond to and a Bloglovin’…
