Ekster Antiques & Uniques
For over a week, my mom and I planned a day out last Friday. I had another x-ray and follow-up appointment for my foot (I graduated from the boot) and we were going to hit some antique shops afterward. I was looking forward to getting out of paint clothes and out of the house and […]
weekly reno recap | wood floors & more
There are so many things happening in the house (you can read about our new house HERE if you missed it) that I decided I should write a weekly recap while we’re in the thick of renovations to give you a rundown of the activity. Some projects we do are not worth a dedicated blog […]
