With this all of this COVID-19 going on schools have closed which means I am not working currently. This is upsetting because I love my job and miss the kids but I’m using this extra time to be productive around the house.

The first thing on my list was to refurbish the microwave cart I bought into a coffee/tea bar.

The next thing on my list was to rearrange the kitchen. I really wanted a table and chairs in the kitchen so we weren’t always eating on the couch. With how our kitchen was arranged before I couldn’t fit my small table and chairs nor would I have been able to fit the coffee/tea bar. Plus it just felt so cluttered and didn’t flow very well.

So I moved some things around and was able to not only fit the new coffee/tea bar but also the table and chairs! I love it now. We’ve had dinner at the table every night since.

We have discussed laying new flooring and fixing the walls as well but with my being out of work for an indefinite amount of time we don’t have the extra cash to do that. Plus we are wanting to move sooner rather than later (*finger’s crossed*) and so we don’t want to put too much money in to the house.

There’s a lot of annoying things about this house (nothing is square or level, previous owners didn’t do things correctly or did them cheaply, weird decals all over the kitchen, etc) but I love our little house. It’s our first home as a married couple and it’s cozy and cute. I love being creative and decorating and doing home improvement projects so I’ve really enjoyed this house. Plus it’s good practice for our next house (which will also be a fixer-upper).
