Style Scouting: Vol. 212
Thanks for stopping by for this week’s Style Scouting. My Sunday post where I share the random stuff that captured my attention or inspired me that I found online.
Before reading through the links I found this week, I wanted to make sure to thank all of you for leaving me such nice comments about the damage that Hurricane Helene did to my house. I got to read all of them when I went to my sister’s home where they got their power back two days after the storm.
Reading them helped keep my spirits up instead of thinking about all that needs to be done to fix the roof and guest room and living without power for 6 days. I laughed out loud after reading what Janet wrote… the tree is keeping with your “white and woodsy” design style. :-)
The past week will be one I won’t forget, but when I think about all that was lost in the Asheville, NC area and in Florida, my problems are small.
Being without power for 6 days was tough, but we got through it. When the power did go back on the fridge that was already giving us problems before the storm basically didn’t restart and leaked all over the floor, ruining the floor.
We were able to get a new one right away, but now in the kitchen we have floor damage, plus kitchen ceiling damage from the tree. Insurance will cover some of it, but after lots of thought, we will hire someone to redo the entire kitchen – floor to ceiling. I will post more about all of this soon, right now I am just trying to get back into my daily routine.
The rock stars in my life this past week are our neighbors who have helped us remove some of the tree debris and also the tree removal service guys and the power company lineman. They have been working around the clock!!!! I can’t thank them enough for all they did and are still doing!!!!!
Now onto this week’s links.
