We didn't have too much planned for the long weekend besides relaxing, eating, and drinking with friends, but it turned out to be quite productive! (Not quite grouting-the-tile productive, though. We'll get there.) We finally finished painting the living room (!!) and actually started decorating it a bit. I unpacked every frame we own and miraculously had enough pictures to fill them, and now all of them are sitting nicely on the mantel. The gray walls actually make the white mantel look not-so-terrible and the fireplace look a little less gray and more beige, which isn't really a bad thing. Here's a reminder of how the living room looked before.
We finally found a good large jar to keep our bottle cap collection in. It was on sale for $10 with free shipping from Oneida.com! Way better than the dozen or so mason jars I've been hoarding to keep them in. Like most people with a bottle cap collection, we have dreams of covering a table top or making some kind of art with them, but we're going to be the ones who actually do it, right? Either way, there's plenty of room for us to keep collecting, and now they make a pretty piece of art for the fireplace.
As for the most exciting purchase this weekend, we finally bought a lawnmower! We made it until the very end of March with just a weedwacker and our own hands to pull out stubborn weeds. I think that's pretty impressive for a yard in central Texas, yes? Nick mowed the entire yard this weekend. I'm not sure how many hours it took, but it was worth it because the yard looks amazing now. Well, of course it was worth it to me because I didn't mow it :P
