DIY Budget Kitchen Reno – The Big Reveal!
The stress and mess is coming to an end….the #NeverEndingReno is finally (mostly) finished. Four months years in the making, the first leg of this renovation started in 2012, and we picked it up again in the fall of 2015. But first – BRACE YOURSELVES….this is where […]

DIY Canister Labels + FREE Printables
When I started working on the #NeverEndingReno in the kitchen, one of the things I was determined to do is squeeze in some open shelving – no easy feat in my teeny-tiny kitchen. I ended up mounting a long shelf above the window – it […]

I’ve been really busy this week putting the finishing touches on the kitchen, working on the attached back entryway and cleaning up the house. My plan is all coming together….finally! Plus, for the first time in 3 months my dining room isn’t dust covered workshop. HUGE […]
