When we first walked through the living room of this house, we were concerned. It was split up into two narrow spaces. There was no way it would work for us. We immediately knew that the only way we could buy this house was if the walls could be taken down. Our first step was […]
When we first looked at this house the biggest disagreement we had was about where the dining room would go. There is a space off the kitchen that I am guessing is supposed to be the dining room, but it was just way too small for us and our large table. My original thought was […]

Last week I shared about the Best Mates program going on at Outback during which they are giving 10% off to military families from May 27 […]
I know, a hallway renovation doesn’t really sound that exciting, does it?! But this hallway was a lot of work, so I’m going to show it to you! Also, I just don’t have to oomph to tackle the kitchen before and after post and it’s many details, the kids rooms are a disaster, and I […]
I have been wanting to do a fun photo gallery wall for some time. I had the perfect spot for it going up the stairs to the boys’ bedrooms. Pinterest gave me some really cute ideas. I imagined this cute little collection of photos. And then I started laying out the frames that I had […]

Parenting through this crazy housing situation we have been through has been hard. We’ve tried to be consistent as possible but when your kids don’t even have a bedroom to be sent to, it can be tough. I have had these tidbits from a Love and Logic email saved for a long time. I like […]
I’ve learned a smart way to store paint brushes during all of our renovation adventures. I thought I’d pass it along as a handy tip! When you have to put two coats of paint on something it’s a pain to wash the brushes out only to use them again the next day. The old stand […]
