Laundry Room Makeover | Part 2 | The Reveal
Okay, well, it’s almost the laundry room reveal. This is how it looks after all of the big stuff is done. I am waiting for the new schoolhouse-style light fixture and I still need to paint the trim on all of the doors, but those are just small finishing details and I don’t want to […]
fireplace update options
I fully realize I need to start another project like I need a hole in my head, but it’s hard to stop the wheels from turning. If you get it, you get it. One thing that keeps catching my attention when I looked around the living room is the fireplace surround. The color is actually quite […]
