We have this little upstairs attic space. Pre-kids, which would be about 5 years ago, it was a great little tv spot. The Lucy came along. It was still a great tv spot, but in addition it became a drop zone. Everything that needed to be cleared out from downstairs made it's way upstairs...to sit...and … Continue reading Upstairs Master Room Makeover
We've been in the middle of this big bedroom shuffle. Jesse and I are in the upstairs on our mattress on the floor.

And because our next two weeks are devoted … Continue reading {Kitchen} Subway Tile Backsplash

And I as able to screw down a brand new toilet flange without any modifications. … Continue reading {Bathroom} Tile Floor Finished!!
I know, I know...I'm totally late on the game on this! I think chalkboard walls may have been done to death. But I have not done one, so let's say it is new to me! :) This is the latest photo I have of the dining room. I don't know what I am doing with … Continue reading It’s been done to death…but I’m going to do it anyway!
A few years ago, Jesse and I spent a weekend camping on Lopez Island. It was a great weekend, yada yada yada...not the point! The point being that I found a cool piece of drift wood.
