Loves, it has been two weeks since we were able to hit up the cabin, but boy, we are excited as we race up. I just hit publish on this post, so by the time you read this, I will be there dancing around the rose garden and seeing if we have apple blossoms on the ancient apple tree that wraps around our front door. I mean, it gets me every single time.

As you might know, we reglazed our windows, and I need to add a new antique brass latch to the window above the kitchen sink so that it closes all the way. I’ll install this casement window lock, so head to my Instagram stories for a look. I’ve said it once, and I’ll say it as long as it takes – upgrading your home’s hardware is a game changer for a designer look on the fly and a budget! Okie, let’s hurry up and read this post so you can check out the upgrade.

Even more exciting, the walls of the living room are up with fresh sheetrock after the water leak. Do we have a home again? Well, not entirely, given that the kitchen and toilet are both gone—and we still need to apply a skim coat—but it’s a start. A very good start. Progress is divine!

You might be wondering what that brown stuff is. We added Rockwool insulation. It’s perfect for wet climates – remember, the cabin has more than one hundred inches of rain per year. This stone blend of insulation is highly moisture and mold-resistant. After our little mold incident, I wanted something that would set my nerves at ease. Plus, it’s fire retardant and helps soundproof, but not much more than that standard pink stuff. What’s not to love? Also, it was fun and easy to install.

I am so thrilled that we can heat and cool our cabin with the wood-burning fireplace more efficiently and keep the water out! I can’t wait to keep you updated as we make fast track to the bathroom remodel next. The time is soon!
