I happened to be thinking about the house we left behind almost six months ago (!) and I realized that I never posted about our basement refinish. We enjoyed the completed space for two of the seven years we lived there; not nearly long enough.I think part of the reason…
I hosted book club at the end of May and it became my deadline for some home improvement projects. My friends had of course seen our house in its pre-makeover state, but having a deadline gave me the drive to finish three huge projects by the end of the school…
I officially reached the “nesting” point in my pregnancy. As per tradition, once I made it a few weeks past the midway point and finally felt human again, I tackled a few massive projects with my newfound energy. I have done this with every pregnancy. When the sickness subsided with…
We’ve held off on making a lot of changes to our early 90’s home because we’ve always thought we were just here temporarily. But fast forward five years, and we’re still here. We decided it was time to start updating some rooms to look a little more 21st century (I…
Every day now, I wake up with this panic that today could be my last day of “freedom” before the baby comes. And because of that, my energy is through the roof. I’m running circles around Troy who keeps reminding me that I should be taking it easy, but I…
Our lives are a tad on the chaotic side as of late; as evidenced from my phone: First of all, there is the basement remodel. We’re making progress, but the race is still on to try to finish before the baby comes (and for everyone to shift bedrooms). With the…
Nesting is in full swing for me. The last few months of pregnancy are when I feel my best, funny enough. It doesn’t quite make up for feeling debilitated the first four months, but I am appreciating the extra surge of energy. The nesting hasn’t transitioned over to any prep…
Last summer, I started on a series of projects to revamp or spruce up some rooms in our house. I transformed Blake’s Room, The Guest Room, which later also turned into Nash’s Nook, The Workspace, The Master Bedroom, and The Makeshift Playroom. Looking back, I noticed that many of these…
We decided to make our guest room into a shared nursery. We weren’t quite ready to give up our guest room completely, but we also didn’t think it would work for the boys to share a room yet. The space is a little crowded and Nash’s section is literally just…
We have an unfinished basement that really isn’t good for anything but storage. We would love to add a couple of bedrooms, a bathroom, and a main family room/home theater to the space. However, since we have neither the skills nor the funds for those ideas, we are left with…
