I am putting two days together again because yesterday was laundry day and finishing The Summer I Turned Pretty, which was so good and totally not my usual watch.

Today I decided to start getting the little things done around the house that I have been wanting to get to. I have been changing out the light switch plates from beige to white. We had so many left over from when we had to gut our house in Baton Rouge and since our walls are white it just looks better.

I have also been itching to get the stereo stand cleaned out. I bought it to use in my house in Austin as a kitchen island. It’s also been a TV stand and a changing table. But the drawer and the cabinet was stuffed full of stuff.

It had gotten to where we could barely close the drawer.

After everything was put where it was actually supposed to go.

The cabinet area was stacked to the brim.

I found so many seeds that I had forgotten I stored in here.

It’s still stacked pretty full, but now I know everything that’s in there and got rid of the stuff that wasn’t supposed to be there.

I have some projects I need to get started this week.

Donny and I ran down to Sherwin Williams on Friday and picked up a gallon of our interior paint. Dang but paint is so expensive. We did get a deal because we are buying though our landlord and they buy A LOT of paint from SW. Sometimes I wish that I could paint our walls something other than white, but I really don’t mind it too much. When we bought our home in Baton Rouge I painted all of the main rooms white. I love to have the extra paint on hand so I can touch up where it’s needed. It just makes everything feel so much cleaner.

I am also going to paint our metal chairs that we use outside. We decided to go with the same color as our kitchen table chairs because it’s just such a great color. That’s going to be more of a project since I’ll have to sand them down first.

I got a new coffee mug at the thrift store the other day. I love that it is my favorite color and is perfect for Fall, especially since I don’t really decorate for Fall.
