Fall TableScape

If you follow me on Instagram then you know, I do a little dibbling and dabbling in the home reno/diy/What was I thinking category. Just this summer the hubs and I ripped out one of the randomly placedd cabinets in our kitchen and built a banquette. I was supposed to share this with you guys a long time ago, but I got super busy and well yea we have banquette!!

Monday-Thursday I’ve been hitting the gym or my living room for 5am workouts.
