wet bar refresh
Sooo…we have this wet bar in our basement family room. It’s nice to have a little fridge down there for drinks and a place to put a coffee maker, etc. for guests (the guest room is right off the basement family room). But, I have to admit, I haven’t really been treating this wet bar […]
August 2019 Favorites
As I look back over August, it was a good month! I had a lot of favorites as summer was winding down and fall started to creep in with the changing of the leaves on a few trees and school starting. Usually, August is hot and it drags on, but that has not been the […]

Believe it or not, there are rooms in this house that have been furnished, but are otherwise untouched. I haven’t painted the trim or walls or intentionally decorated them. One of those rooms was the boys’ bathroom. […]
