Thankful Thursday

Posted on by Sandee

It’s Thankful Thursday hosted by Brian of Brian’s Home. He wants us to post what we’re thankful for.

I think it’s a good thing to do each week. Focus on the positive things in our lives.

Make sure you link up to the Blog Hop at Brian’s Home and get the code to put on your blog. Then visit all the participants.

I’m thankful for the cooler weather and I can’t believe that it’s October. Halloween is just around the corner and then the holidays will arrive. We look forward to each season. We look forward to each holiday.

The photo above is of our downstairs laundry room. The cherry wood cabinets and the tile are gone and the white cabinets and Piedrafina Marble are in. So much lighter. We are so thankful.


The photo above is our downstairs bathroom What a difference changing out the dark to the light. We are so pleased.

I’m thankful that our remodel upstairs is in full swing. Nothing will look the same when they’re done. We’re good with that. It’s such fun to watch the artistry that the workers display. So talented.

    I like the changes you made. The rooms look lighter and brighter. I love the walk in shower. I’ve thought about pulling the tub out of my bathroom and replacing it with a walk in shower.

    The downstairs is looking fantastic! You’re right, the lighter colours really do make a difference in brightening and opening up the laundry room and bathroom. Much more fresh and modern, too. I hope all goes well with the upstairs reno!

    Happy Thursday, lovely. I can’t believe it’s October already either. It’s definitely time to get the jumpers out in my corner of the UK as it’s become very chilly very fast.xx

      It was to cold to walk outside today. I walked indoors where it was warm. 🙂
