Today marks week 6, and therefore the end, of the One Room Challenge. Did we finish? No. However, we are so super close. We’ve made tons of progress and have some decent “befores” and “almost afters” to show you. I really hope you will stop back by the blog in a week to see some… Read More
We are SO close to being done with the fireplace! This week (week 5 of the One Room Challenge) Parker did the crown, the mantel, the rest of the inner molding, and bricked the hearth on the great-room side. He also filled all of the nail holes and sanded. The only thing left to do is… Read More
We made some great progress during week 4 of the One Room Challenge. We are still working on the fireplace. It’s one of those projects that was hard to predict time and cost. It’s proving to be a bigger project in both respects, but we are getting closer!!! Unfortunately, the pictures will not do justice… Read More
It’s going to be a quick update for week 3 of the One Room Challenge. The kids are home on fall break and we have a visitor from San Diego (not staying with us of course)! All week was dedicated to bricking the great room side of the fireplace. It’s done! This was a really… Read More

We also participated in… Read More
We are living the renovation life over here!! Like I mentioned in the last post, we are replacing all of the carpet and tile on our first floor (except the new tile in the mudroom, of course). We are replacing everything with hardwoods except for in the bathroom where we will put new tile. In… Read More
Oh my gosh! It’s been almost a year since I last blogged!! There are several reasons for that. Mostly, we weren’t doing that many exciting things to our house, so I didn’t feel excited to blog. I could have forced myself to keep it up, but I do this for fun and that wouldn’t have… Read More
I know garages aren’t the most exciting spaces, but this project has added a lot of peace to my life! I am glad we put off working on other spaces to get this done. There has never been much organization to our garage since we moved in. There were times when it was not too… Read More
Anybody else like to go look at model homes? I love it…except that awkward part where you have to explain that you are just looking for fun, and you don’t want to build a house. A few years ago we stumbled upon this MI house a couple miles from us. We decided to take a… Read More
