i love october.

Iloveoct

marabella clutch, terrain iron fire pit bowl, apple latte tiny infinity bracelet, cb2 white console table, ikea alseda stool, ikea ivar shelving, rewined scented candles, target threshold bar cart.

I'm all over the map this month… I have too many projects with too many steps running in a loop in my brain. My goal is to simplify what needs to be done (for the backyard, for the office, for everything else) and break things down. This week : I'll get quotes for hardwood flooring and I'll get the installation scheduled. I'll figure out where we can rent a power washer for the backyard and start pulling out weeds. I'll do a practice set up my booth for the Queen Bee Market and make a giant to-do list.

And in the meantime, I'll think about how I'd really like a bar cart in the dining area…

    Are you considering the IVAR for your office? I have loads of pieces in my basement that I’d gladly pass on, but alas, Germany is a bit inconvenient to come and pick’em up, right 🙂 Excited to see where this is headed. I am in awe of your weekly goals – I once read we overestimate what we can do in a day, but underestimate what we can get done in a week. I am no good at breaking private projects down in doable milestones whatsoever, so you impress me over and over again. You go, ladies!

    We have Ivar shelving at home and we’re not really a big fan of it, although it’s quite good for storing stuff. Apart from that, lovely items 🙂

    I’ve been debating the same bar cart and trying to justify the price tag because everyone needs a bar cart right!! Ahhhh I should just get it!

    you can rent the power washer at a Home Depot or Lowes (not sure if they have stores near you) but it for 24 hrs, relatively cheap.

    We have the shelving in our garage, very sturdy. Lots of good ideas, but honestly I would skip the bar cart. You’re going to have a crawling/toddling Ellerie very soon!
