Happy Friday, friends! Hope you all had a solid week and are heading into the weekend strong.
Kicked things off by helping my wife with wedding setup at The Big Red Barn in Pflugerville. Big congrats to the Valentine’s Day couple. Nothing like love in the air… and a husband hauling tables.
Now onto the home projects.
First up, bathroom glow-up. We swapped out some dated fixtures for clean, modern lighting. Amazing what better light can do. It’s like your bathroom had its morning coffee.
Next, pendant lights in the kitchen. Out with the builder-grade basics, in with something that actually makes a statement. Lighting sets the tone more than people realize. If your kitchen feels “meh,” chances are the lighting is part of the problem.
And finally, three older but still-working ceiling fans got replaced with sleek new 3-blade fans. Yes, the old ones worked… but so does a flip phone. Sometimes it’s okay to upgrade.
Last little upgrade that might be my favorite: the pantry light switch was outside the pantry. We moved it inside and installed a motion sensor switch. Open the door, light turns on. Close it, off it goes. We also added an outlet inside to charge a battery-powered vacuum. Small change, big convenience. Make life easier on yourself. You deserve it.
As always, if something in your home feels outdated, awkward, or just plain annoying, there’s usually a simple fix. Let’s make your house work for you.
