weekly reno recap | new roof, new range & more
Someone asked where the weekly reno recap went… Ummm. Yeah. So…you see, when you’re in the process of moving in and major renovations are happening as well as normal life stuff, well, things just slip through the cracks. Hence, no recap. The inquiry didn’t feel like an admonishment at all but like an encouragement. We […]
a pillow you can customize
Disclosure: This post is sponsored by Marlow, a brand-new company from the founders of Brooklinen.
