  • Home Renovations: Part 4

    ,

    Are you ready for the pink countertops? Yep, pink countertops. And I lived with them for almost 9 years. And, really, I lived with them because I thought I didn't have a choice. I thought that kitchen renovations would be tens of thousands of dollars and we didn't have that kind of money. Plus, every… Read more

  • Christmas card outtake

    I'm working on a blog post about the kitchen renovations but we're still knee-deep in the family room/den renovations (Tom is hanging curtain rods as I type this and I have to stain part of the floor in a few minutes) so I'm way behind schedule. Add in two sick kids, a holiday program for… Read more

    Okay, back to the living room! This was my absolute FAVORITE part of the home renovations we've done to date because it's where we spend all of our time. And it was such a huge transformation for us. And, to be perfectly honest, there were some tears and some regret mixed in. We've hated this… Read more

  • Daily December

    ,

      Full credits can be found in my Designer Digitals gallery. I've decided to do another Daily December album. This year I'm doing just a digi album using one of Cathy Zielske's templates.  I'll write more about it next week (and finish up the renovations posts) but I totally forgot that I'm going to be… Read more

  • Home Renovations: Part 3

    ,

    The third room that we worked on caused us the most anxiety and the most joy so I'm going to split this up into 2 posts so that I can tell the whole story. I mentioned in a previous post that we were totally shocked to find hardwood floors under our carpeting in our dining and… Read more
