Design

As much as I love our new home, it didn’t have everything on our wish list. Our realtor told us if you can find a house with 50% of what you want, you’re doing good. I think we did better than that! Design wise, there’s a lot I want to change (are you really surprised??).  […]

Pre-Move-in House Renovations

Ladders and mess covering the floors of a home during the wall smoothing process
Refinished federal style maple dresser

I’m almost embarrassed to admit how many dressers I’ve looked at over the past year. Upon moving into our new home last summer, I knew I wanted an entryway dresser.

(A clean boys bedroom is rare, friends!) Easton got the bigger of the […]

Finished kids wooden playhouse makeover
