Happy Friday 9/3/21

Happy Friday! And happy Labor Day weekend! This might just me my favorite holiday all year long :) We usually host 20+ out-of-town friends and family and throw a giant bbq and attend our local fair and rodeo and have a great time. This year will be a little more subdued but we’re still looking forward to seeing a few of our favorite people and spending late nights catching up. I can’t wait! Hope you have a good one, too!

I finally found a light fixture for the Poplar Cottage bathroom! Remember that project?! Yes the house is still 8’ in the air, but it’ll be coming down eventually and that bathroom is gonna need a light. Whitney (of @carpendaughter) used this budget-friendly sconce in her powder bathroom and I immediately ordered it. So good! (amazon affiliate)
