Hello all my pretty people! How has everyone’s week been? We had a pretty nice week at the #withlovelakehouse. I didn’t have a ton of appointments this week and that’s always really nice.

We still haven’t decided exactly what our master bedroom goals are. It currently has no closet and as a gal who likes clothes, this is a problem!!! Do we add an addition and turn the powder room into a closet? We’re going to live in it for a little and work on other rooms in the house while we figure out what the best solution is.

The WithLovelakehouse is coming along beautifully. It’s slower than than I’d like but such is life. I am having the worst time choosing the finishing details. Why is it so hard?!!! Usually I see what I want so clearly and in this house so many times I’m like ‘Whoa, Instagram, help me and vote!!’ I think it’s that I’ve always had an out before.
