I cant even begin to tell you how much I love having a playroom. Seeing toys all over the house just drives me crazy. I guess I just need order to stay sane. Yes in the past I was unable to do anything about it, but now every toy has its own place and if need be, I can just… Keep Reading
Momma’s got a sewing room.
I think this just may be my most favorite room in the house now, but that has not always been the case. This is the room that caused my worst “why did we buy this house” melt-down. When we purchased the house this room was not being used for anything, it was a big, dark, empty room. There was no… Keep Reading
I kinda like it.
So I just kept going with my first paint choices and I’m glad I did…I kinda like it. No, I don’t love it, but I really like it. And in all honesty I think it will grow on me. This is a change. A big, bright change. So time will only tell. But one thing I do know for sure… Keep Reading

We have a tree!
I still cannot believe my eyes…we have a Christmas tree in our living room. Oh and we actually have a living room! I’m not sure which one I am more excited about. Since we had very few Christmas ornaments I had to buy some at the good old Walmart. Next year we will add a bunch of handmade ones to… Keep Reading
Home renovation updates
So apparently some of you are curious as to what things are looking like around here. So the living room is pretty much done except for installing the sliding barn doors onto the kids playroom and the doorway to the cold cellar. As you can see the hardwood floors are covered in cardboard for protection from little boys with hammers… Keep Reading
Home Renovations.
How true is that? Those of you that have lived through a major home renovation like us know how true that is. But thankfully we are finally seeing it come together. The rooms are painted. And the hardwood floors are in. And so is the tile. Yes, it has been far from easy (especially this past week), but WE WILL… Keep Reading
My newly upholstered love seat and more dollar fabric deals.
I finally finished reupholstering the love seat a few days ago. I have to say it is far from being perfect, but I just love the way it came out! I find myself constantly staring at it in awe that I did it. I am shocked by how easy the process was and how rewarding it is to be able… Keep Reading
Making it work.
We are right on schedule for finishing the other side of the house (squeals), but it might be one big ole empty 1/2 a house. We realized that our funds will be depleted and we will not be able to furnish it. Realizing that was a bit of a bummer. So the red couch I have been dreaming about for… Keep Reading
We *heart* dry wall.
Three 16 hour days, 80 sheets of dry wall, lots of coffee and take-out and we are done. We have walls! It was a lot of work and took a lot of patience, but it was also a lot of fun. It was great to be working on the house with the hubby again, but definitely harder with 3 little… Keep Reading
