Weekend Reads | 12-4

Welcome to another Weekend Reads…it has been a crazy few weeks!

I’ve been a little MIA, and that’s because we FINALLY moved after over a year of renovating our new home.

Portland Craftsman Renovation - dining room

As I’ve mentioned on stories, there’s still things that need to be finished in our home renovation like painting, kitchen backsplash, shower glass and patching up the exterior of our home.

This renovation just focused on redoing the kitchen, master bath and bedroom, and parts of the basement.  But we are still planning lots of projects to do ourselves in the other rooms of the house like redo this fireplace in the dining room!

In addition to moving, we also hosted our first little Thanksgiving, cut down a Christmas and started decorating the house for Christmas amongst the numerous boxes that are still left to be unpacked.

I can’t wait to share more when everything is a little more in order!
