Next week we will be hanging drywall on this side of the house (insert lots of screeches!!) Seriously, this has been a looong time coming! And while I’m trying not to get too excited, I am. Fingers crossed that we will be celebrating Christmas this year with a Christmas tree and not another Christmas branch and that we will be… Keep Reading

Inspirations for my home.
I have finally decided on a color scheme for the living room and dining area. For the walls, I have chosen Rosemary Green from Benjamin Moore and red as the accent color. I have loved these two colors together for the longest time, but have found very little use of them together. I was nervous about pairing them together, but… Keep Reading
House updates.
Three weeks ago my hubby took the week off to work on the house. Before he could start framing out the walls, he still had more demo work to do. So after an hours worth of work, this was what I saw…Iya-yaI! Luckily my hubby is a hard and fast worker because within a few hours the room was clean… Keep Reading
Our home…the planning stage.
The plans for the other 1/2 of our house are underway. While the hubby was busy sketching and figuring out load calculations for the heating and cooling systems this weekend. I was busy picking out paint colors, furniture and accessories. The hubby kept reminding me that it would be close to a year (if not more) before we would be… Keep Reading
The day we had to steal the ice shanty heater to heat our house.
As I watched the weather report this morning they said it was a chilly -28′ outside. And that is without the windchill, thank goodness the wind is not blowing this morning. Hearing him say that, immediately brought back memories of our first winter living here. At the time our house only had a bedroom, bathroom and a semi-finished hallway, which… Keep Reading
The kids playroom {then and now}
After posting pictures of our kitchen, I got a few emails wondering, do my kids have any toys? and where the heck do our 3 little ones play? Well… right in our kitchen of course and in here… the hallway! That’s right my kids playroom is actually in the hallway. It is not ideal, but “it is what it is,”… Keep Reading
2010 Christmas branch
Just another reason why living in this house of ours is so hard…no place for a Christmas tree! For as long as I can remember, I have always wanted a house that would hold the biggest Christmas tree eva, but instead our house can only hold the smallest Christmas tree eva! That makes this Christmas tree loving momma so sad…. Keep Reading
Our kitchen {then and now}
Thank you for all of your kind words about our house. It really means a lot to me. When I started this blog I was never going to show pictures of our house or tell you all exactly how we live, until recently when I have become obsessed with all of the remodeling blogs out there. I love reading others… Keep Reading
We saw the light at the end of the tunnel.
Saving this old house of ours is what we have been doing for the past 6 years. We purchased our 1870’s farmhouse a little over 6 years ago. For some reason when we first saw it we fell in love with it. I’m not sure why, but it was probably a case of being young, dumb, and in love. We… Keep Reading
