One of my favorite rooms in the house is my craft room! I love crafting and creating all kinds of things and have gone through many “crafting phases” in my life. For the past several years I have been making soaps & body products, it started as a hobby that has now grown into a …
We have one of those houses where no one uses the front door. Many, many years ago the road used to run right in front of our house and the driveway was off to the side. Perhaps they used the front door then? Eventually the road was dead ended, a park was built and the …
My husband and I have been married for over half of my life. He is amazing and always super supportive of all my crazy dreams. When I told him I wanted to get some chickens a decade ago he might have looked at me strange but said “let’s do it”. I kept adding more chickens, …
The living room in our 1852 house is “intimate”. Let’s be plain, it’s small by today’s standards. Despite it’s cozy size, it was one of the rooms that sold me on the house. Back when the house was built, this was the room they would have done their entertaining in, the room all their guests …
The kitchen is arguably one of the most important rooms in the house. Everyone gathers there, meals are cooked, laughs are exchanged. I have a love/hate relationship with my kitchen.

Last year we were very grateful to move from a house with just one small bathroom to a home with three bathrooms. Three small bathrooms, but three! For a large family this was a big deal! The biggest downside is that all three bathrooms were in need of renovation. While I someday plan for a …
I was really excited to take on decorating my bedroom. I have to admit until this point, my bedroom was always just an afterthought. At the old house, the “primary” bedroom was very small and the whole house had a major lack of storage. So I would say my focus was more on function than …
When we bought our house we were coming from 1300 square feet and 1 bathroom, upgrading to 1650 square feet and 3 bathrooms! We lived in our previous home for 22 years as a family of six. With 1 bathroom. So you can only imagine how thrilled I was to no longer have a bathroom …
The kitchen might be the heart of the home, in our house the dining room is the hub of the home. Not only in family meals shared around the table, but our dining room is literally a hub. It’s in the very center of the house with 7 doors that spoke off of it. That …
I was so excited about the front porch when we bought our house. It was run down, but I could so clearly see what it could be! First, let’s start with some before pictures Great space right? This porch was grungy, dirty, and just plain neglected! This is my favorite type of transformation. Paint is …
