~Good morning! It has been nearly a full year since I made a Thursday Thoughts post and to say things have changed since then would be an understatement. Â That was still around the time that we thought it would be a 2 week shutdown, kids would be back in school shortly, etc. Â My kids still aren’t back in school full-time, in-person yet, but (fingers crossed) that is supposed to happen next month. Â Both of my kids are excited to be back in-person and would pick in-person any day over virtual.
~I did a comparison on my Instagram about the Tory Burch Cloud Millers vs. Regular Millers a few weeks ago. Â At the time I was planning on keeping the Clouds, but noted I liked the regular Millers better. Â Well, after reading some reviews about the Clouds chipping and cracking after only a few wears, I decided to return my Clouds. Â Timing was perfect because Tory Burch is currently having their Spring Sale and I scored a pair of Patent Millers in “Sand” (on sale for $149), added a candle ($68) and ended up getting an additional 25% off via the Spring sale. Â So I got Millers + a candle for $165 – about $35 less than I paid just for a Clouds. Â Score!
~We have taken on a few home projects in the last few weeks and I am thrilled with how they came out.
Office Before / After
I painted my office (Willow Tree SW7741 by Sherwin Williams), picked up a new rug from Ruggable and added a few more accessories (Ottoman from Target, Mirror from Hobby Lobby) to change out the look.  I still need some sort of art for the back wall but haven’t found anything I love yet.
Fireplace Before / After
For the fireplace we took down the tile and put up this panel ledger. Â It was a fairly easy project (took an afternoon), but it makes SUCH a change!
~Next up I want to do a peel and stick wallpaper in my downstairs 1/2 bathroom. Â Has anyone used peel and stick wallpaper? Â Was it as easy to use as everyone makes it seem?
That’s it from here! Â Hope everyone is staying safe and healthy!! Â What have you been up to lately?
I’ve missed these! And your Silent Sunday pics 🙂
Ahh, thank you! I am trying to be better!
I kept my Clouds. I have wide feet and need the padding so they work from me. I’ve worn them a few times but taking them on vacation for a few weeks and if they chip quickly I will return them and try to get my $ back. $200 shoes should last!
Please report back on chipping!!!!! I agree for $200, they should last.
