We’ve lived in our house just over 5 years. And we are finally actually spending time in our basement. Its been so nice. We have a mini flood , a spending freeze, and reaching our toy annoyance threshold to thank for this progress. Here is what the basement looked like last April: And Now: The… Read More
If you remember, a few months ago we did a pseudo reveal of the mudroom when all of the construction was done. However, we’ve been putting finishing touches/decor in the room since then. We’ve also been USING the room. It is everything I thought it would be. We are more organized and the bookbag mess… Read More
I’ve been thinking about sharing our wedding on the blog for awhile, and I figured our 9th anniversary would be the perfect time! I think this post is relevant for a home improvement blog for a couple of reasons. First, there are a lot of decor decisions that go into a wedding. I loved the… Read More
There is so much of our house that I haven’t shared here. Today I’m going to share our playroom because if you remember, we are getting ready to move a lot of the playroom down to the basement. I should be able to share the basement next week, but for now, here is our current… Read More

We are starting to think about replacing the flooring on our main level. We have tile in our entry and bathroom, vinyl in the kitchen, and carpet everywhere else (great room, sunroom, dining room). If this tells you anything, the vinyl is our favorite of all 3. The tile was not laid on cement board,… Read More
Well I’d like to get a post about our own projects on the blog soon, but I’ve been having trouble keeping up at school. The end of the trimester is just crazy. Everybody is needy and it’s my job to manage everybody’s needs 🙂 Also, this week Parker was a computer hog. He was working… Read More
Now that the mudroom is done, we are going to start tackling some other things on our to do list. We almost have our basement straightened up and will begin working on our lower level. If the beautiful weather keeps up, we would also like to tackle a garage clean up and staining our deck.… Read More
