One Room Challenge Basement Bedroom Reveal
Nothing makes six weeks go by faster than having a deadline! I am very happy to report that despite not posting every week (some weeks there was just nothing much to share), the room is complete!

We have a couple of details to finish such as paint touch ups around the outlets and light switches since we literally got the electrical outlets changed hours ago! We also had to order a custom sized door and a light fixture ... continue reading...
This and That

Something easy to print and slip into a frame to welcome in the season why I wait for my garden to come back to life! To access the VIP library, simply ... continue reading...

Since spring has not sprung yet where we live, I have the wreath hung above the mantel. When the weather warms up and the snow finally stops I will hang it on the front door. I think it is going to look fantastic against the black door. For once I remembered to photograph the whole process and I am ... continue reading...
The renovations begin!
Hello friends! It has been 4 months since our oldest flew the nest, and although we swore we would start the renovations ASAP, here we are 4 months later just getting going. The quicker we get this bedroom renovated, the sooner our younger daughter can move into that room. More importantly though, the faster we get her into the renovated bedroom, the faster we can reclaim her old room and put our family room back to use as our family room! When you live in a little home, trust me, ... continue reading...
