Weekend Wrap Up

 

 

Hi. How’s everyone doing? OK, I hope.

I’ve been consuming A LOT of television and Netflix lately.

Mostly in the middle of the night, because I haven’t been sleeping so great.

Maybe you can relate?

The days keep me pretty busy, especially with all five of us home.

Cooking, cleaning, writing, trying to exercise a bit – all good things to keep me occupied.

However, it’s late at night when there’s little to do – that’s when it all goes left for me.

Anyway, if it seems this week’s list of links is a little tv/movie/Netflix heavy…now you know why.

A Welcome Distraction

 

Hi! Hope everyone’s doing OK!

To those of you who have messaged me they’re glad I’ve kept up the blog, saying this gives you a sense of normalcy, I promise you – writing this blog everyday probably helps me even more!

I’m pretty sure I’ve responded to everyone personally, but if for some reason I missed your email or DM…

Please know, honestly, I can’t thank you enough for your continued support!

Other than that, I’ve got very little to say about current events that hasn’t been said already.

So, I guess I’ll just get straight to the links which I’m hoping will bring you a little joy, a welcome distraction from the endless bleak news.

xx,

Sue

Our High Gloss Blue Butler’s Pantry: Before and After
 

our high gloss blue bar / butler’s pantry

 

This post was originally from five years ago!

Since I still tend to get several questions about this space, I thought I’d dust it off and run it again today – along with several updates.

For starters, I want to be clear about the coral on the shelves which, as I’ve now learned could be pretty controversial.

To be clear, these are not actual real corals.

They’re all porcelain or plaster reproductions of coral! See these examples here.

Hopefully, many of you already assumed this.

However, I do end up having to explain this over and over, so I figured why not just put it out here.

To be honest, I thought these faux corals were pretty basic home decor items. Guess not?

Anyway, now that that’s out of the way, on to the pantry itself!
