Ah, I get such joy out of the littlest things. When I was designing the layout for the kitchen I knew I had to have the stove on this wall. But this door to the pantry and electrical closet couldn't be moved so I just had to work around it. I decided to put two... Continue Reading →
The kitchen counters have been installed! We got the Cortina Quartz and are super stoked with it. The installers did a great job. Hopefully this weekend we can get the backsplash done. And then we need to build the hood. And finish caulking the trim and touch up paint and this kitchen should be done!... Continue Reading →
Projects on the house are now being done in little spurts. Not one room is completely finished. While we finally got all the base moulding done on the first level, there is still a ton of caulking, sanding and painting to do. I think the bedrooms are the closest to being completely done.

I ordered them last week - they were having a Black Friday sale that I couldn't... Continue Reading →

New half wall made with the original 2x4"s from 1906 that will look into the dining room and a fancy beam to help hold up this... Continue Reading →
I've been a cleaning and organizing freak lately! Look at me go - another project in the bag! This little desk has been sitting in my garage for, oh, almost 2 years. Poor thing. It's so cute! And now... So pretty! I sprayed it with Moss Green Satin from Rust-Oleum. And surprisingly, it only took one... Continue Reading →
