Happy St. Patty's

Hope everyone enjoyed this gorgeous weather. I know we did. Justin and I went to the beach for the first time this year. Well, maybe not the FIRST time but it was the first time we could lay out and enjoy the sunshine. It was beautiful.

We got home and did a little around the house. Right now, we are in the process of painting our brass door knobs bronze. They are turning out so nicely! We're also giving all the doors and trim a fresh coat of white paint. They were off white originally. I can tell it is going to take forever to get them all done (doors and knobs) but so far, everything is looking great!

Katie shared a great trick for vacuuming rugs. I can't believe how well this worked! We just flipped the rug over and vacuumed the bottom of the rug. It vibrated all the loose dirt from the rug. You would not believe how much excess dirt we got from the rug...after we had already vacuumed the top! We did this at least five times and got so much out. The rug was actually lighter when we finished and just look at the dirt. It also felt softer underfoot. Great idea Kate!

I went to Lowe's a signed the contract to get our new floors installed in the bathroom. I can't wait. That is really the last big project that would, without question, have to be done before we could sell the condo. That isn't the end goal but it feels good to know we could put it on the market. Hope everyone enjoyed their St. Patty's Day!!
