1 Day Left: Home Update

We are down to 1 day left until we close! We close tomorrow morning around 8:30am and plan on starting to move stuff in tomorrow night. Both of our parents are coming in town tomorrow too, so we should have a lot of fun. We have movers coming Friday morning to move all of the big furniture and stuff like that. I can’t believe the day is here; time flew by so fast!

These pictures are from earlier in the week but you can see that the appliances are in and the kitchen is pretty much good to go. I need to get a darker outlet cover for the island though, that is bugging me.

And our blinds are all in and look great. I love the white wood! My favorite are the blinds on the little windows, they just look so cute.

& we have a yard now! Its crazy how much bigger the space looks with grass. At this point, I am so thankful for the sprinkler system so that we can help the grass get a good start.

We also went around the other day and taped all the little spots that needed to be touched up in the house. I was a little tape shy at first (the builder had already taped this corner up) but then I got the hang of it and taped away!

Here is a picture of our mailbox and the workers putting in the grass out front. I am going to want to plant flowers in the front and put bricks around the edge of the flower bed. It is looking great though.

  • One piece of wood + a little creativity = the cutest fall DIY. 🍂🎃

I love when you can take something you already have and turn it into something completely new for your home. The DEWALT 20V MAX 12-inch Brushless Cordless Chainsaw made cutting these wood slices so much easier, and then it was just a little paint + a few simple finishing touches to bring my idea to life.

If you’re ready to tackle a fall project of your own, @homedepot has the tools and supplies to help you get started. 🤎

  • #AD I love seeing kids get opportunities to learn by doing. 🔨

The Home Depot just launched Skills Explorers, a new Path to Pro curriculum created in partnership with Scouting America for youth ages 11–17 that introduces them to hands-on skills like carpentry, electrical work, and other skilled trades.

It’s a chance to build practical skills, confidence, and maybe discover an interest or future possibility they hadn’t considered before.

If you have a kid or teen who loves building, making, or figuring out how things work, this is definitely worth exploring. 🤍

These Halloween icon glasses make the BEST little Halloween gifts! 👻 I filled each one with an eye mask, hand sanitizer, lip balm, candy + a mini clip for a gift that’s fun, useful, and actually leaves them with something they can keep.

Perfect for Halloween parties, girls’ night, teacher gifts, coworkers, or neighbors. 🧡

  • IYKYK… 👀🎄 An icon-style glass for $5?! At @pOpshelf?! Say less. #pOpshelfPartner

And it wasn’t the only find that had me doing a double take—the $3 dish, $5 drum candle and $10 décor find were TOO good.

I’m loving how these affordable Christmas finds came together to create that high-end, collected look without the high-end price tag. ✨

If you’re decorating for Christmas, head to your local pOpshelf before your favorites sell out!
