So, I took a bit of a summer break. I hadn't really planned to, but plans just kept forming, and life became more important, and I realized it was a much needed break. I will admit though I've had kind of a hard time getting back to my projects: all those little things on my to do list so I can one day stop and smell the roses. So, here I am getting back into the swing of things. I missed my wittle bloggy-blog.
I mentioned in my last post that we are giving our kitchen a mini-makeover. #goodbyeyellowkitchen Between the hubby's and my work schedules - and our summer break - it's taking a lot longer than I had hoped, but I think we have most of the major projects out of the way. Now, we are just down to the nitty-gritty...you know, the stuff that always gets pushed to the end that's just not as much fun to do as the rest of it. I'm not entirely sure when those last little bits will get done. To be honest, that's driving me nuts, but I'm trying to be chill and just go with the flow about it all. I'm more grateful for my life being so busy because it means we are living.

But, that also means the most exciting part -- the reveal -- is still a ways off. Womp-womp. So I thought what I would do in the mean time is share all the little projects that make up the big project, which will hopefully get you excited for what our kitchen looks like now.
In an attempt to add some greenery to my house with indoor plants, I opted to put an aloe vera plant in my kitchen for decorative - and practical - reasons.
I can't really remember how the idea came about, but when I was planting the little aloe plant in its pot, I was wishing it wasn't the color it was because it just didn't work with what I had going for my kitchen. I thought it would be neat to have a pot that looked like Kraft paper. I'm trying to keep my kitchen modernly neutral with farmhouse touches and the Kraft paper look is right on par with that. But how does one get a Kraft paper pot for a real plant?
Wrap it.
