We made a lot of progress inside during the wet months (all 9 of them) and just had a handful of things to finish up in the guest space. Bathroom Door Always important. Probably would have been nice to have up before the in-laws visited. But at least they had more amenities since their lastContinue reading

Pinterest is just so lovely…and full of ideas that I must try. So naturally, I’ve come up with a long list of projects in my head before the house was even done being built.

So many plans When we built the house, I had so many plans that we needed to finish up because 1) our builders basically gave us no options and 2) if we did ever want something “different” the materials were limited and costs were probably 3x what we’d normally pay.

Finally! Well, we didn’t have Jonathan and Drew to show us all of the wonderful things throughout the house or a big before billboard pulled apart by Joanna and Chip…but we did finally get to kick out the contractors and move in! And just to refresh your memory…the before: And the after: Just in TimeContinue reading

Vanity Redo

Because building a house isn’t enough work… Let’s make our own vanity for the powder room! We could have just gotten a simple pedestal sink…but where’s the challenge in that? Let’s do something completely different! Or something like Joanna and Chip would do! (I honestly don’t know why Jim still goes along with my crazyContinue reading
