I was looking through some old pictures a few days back that really got me thinking about how much some of the spaces in our house have changed in the last few years … and I thought it would be fun to take a quick trip down memory lane and look at some “then” and…

It’s been almost 3 weeks since the sod was installed in the center of the circle driveway, marking the completion of the entry way addition project! It’s hard to believe it’s finally officially done!

It sounds like a silly thing to think about replacing, but it made such a difference – in the bedroom especially. The master bedroom and bathroom (and also the kitchen, hallway,…

I’ve been a little delinquent in posting, but the project to paint our master bedroom is finally done! It took the painter nearly a week and a half to finish, with most of the time being spent in the master bedroom suite. Here are some before and after photos. Before After All in all, we’re…

Wallpaper – when is it ever a good idea? It doesn’t matter what the pattern is – it’s going to go out of style and, even when in style, it’s such a matter of personal taste. What I dislike about it most is that removal is no small task. Best case, it’s hours of tedious…
