Monday Lovely: Letterpress prints

I never thought I'd say this: We're in the home stretch of the nursery/master bedroom/bathroom remodel. Carpet will be here tomorrow and the last of the touch-up painting is getting done today thanks to my wonderfulwonderfulwonderful father-in-law. (Did I mention that he is wonderful?)

Last night I took a soak in our new ginormous bathtub (Thanks to my sister-in-law's wonderfulwonderfulwonderful boyfriend. He got us an awesome deal on this SIX FOOT LONG tub. It's incredible. Michael Phelps may be coming over later to swim laps, I'm not sure.)

So now that I can focus on the really important things, like decorating, I ordered a few prints on Etsy that I think will make smashing additions to the nursery nook. I'm so excited to see them framed on the wall.

With special thanks to my inactive lifestyle + love for snack foods

As you may or may not know, Zach and I have been hard at work installing new hard wood floors (and by "Zach and I," I mean just Zach, all by himself, no help at all from me, him working solo, me passing the time by getting my makeup done at Nordstrom to avoid all things work-related). He installed them. And then sanded them. And then sealed them. And then sanded them. And then sealed them. Again.

The Sunday before last was "Sanding Sunday." And for about 6.5 hours we (again, not me) sanded using THE WRONG SANDER. It wasn't nearly heavy enough to really get the job done, despite what the folks at Home Dept would have you believe.

So, when I came home and Zach needed my expert help, I happily obliged. Enjoy the footage of my construction expertise below. We make a great team.

Apparently being "dead weight" is my specialty.
