Mini porch update

I'm officially back from the beach and holding down the fort for a couple of days. I'm thankful to have my two guard dogs (haha) here, but in all honesty I don't really enjoy being home without D and Grace. I'm such a sissy. I sleep with one eye opened and it makes for a tired day.

I do, however, not mind the free time I will have this afternoon between work and bedtime. That I can live with.

Today I plan on finally:

• Unpacking and organizing my closet.
• Hitting up Homegoods without having both D and Grace whining to leave.
• Getting wood cut for my chalkboard frame and painting it tonight.
• Registering for a gym membership and getting in a good workout.
• Eating dinner in front of the TV...trashy reality TV is preferred.

It's gearing up to be a productive evening. Hopefully I can tire myself out enough that sleep won't be as difficult. In the meantime, I got the ball rolling with a 5 minute porch update project. One of the problems we've had at the new house is that there aren't house numbers that are clearly visible from the street. 90% of neighborhood is still under construction, or not even started, so there are lot numbers everywhere---which don't correspond with house numbers at all.

Here's where Pinterest comes in and saves the day:

I found this image and fell in love. Turns out, it linked to an Etsy Shop, Piccadilly Peddler, where I was able to place an order for $10 and literally 3 days later had my own house number to apply.

Didn't it turn out cute?! Now for the rest of the house...
