  • Finishing the basement

    ,

    We are so lucky to have a large, mostly-finished basement. We have two storage rooms that are unfinished but the rest of it is finished and is one large L-shaped space.

I love the way that a new beginning feels fresh and makes me feel refreshed. Usually I start a lot of new projects with the new year –… Read more
