the upstairs bathroom…

Before we step into the tiny upstairs 1940’s bathroom, I thought I would answer a question that several readers asked – Why haven’t you painted the doors in your house? When we first moved in, all of the trim and doors in the house were glossy, orange pine. It was too dark and too much […]
paint brush on a stick

I was all set to meet Kriste at the studio this morning, but as I was getting up and about for the day, I realized I really wanted to paint my walls and trim and get the tedious painting project that’s been hanging over my head for years, finished. When the mood strikes to do […]

I checked out my draft folder to look for posts I started, but never finished or posted, usually because something more exciting comes along to write about. As I was digging through […]
upcoming home projects

I sparked quite a conversation about the exterior of my house yesterday! I’ll circle back about that later and share more of my plans for it. Today, we’re back to the inside. If you’ve followed my blog for a while, you know we’ve done a lot to our home. Every room has been painted at […]
