Kitchen demo is not only well underway, it’s almost done! Today the range hood came down, center island went bye bye, window bay cabinets were removed, and the upper cabinet by the sink came down. (That one was so well-installed it had to be destroyed to come down, which is a bummer because I was […]
Well, we got the old oven and its cabinet the left side lower cabinets, and all of the badly worn laminate flooring out. I have a problem. I actually sorta love the original tile. It has shiny white divots that catch the light. And I just love the dark floor being gone. Unfortunately, the tile […]
Things must first be broken before they can be fixed. That sums up a lot of things, from personal life to politics to church strife… to kitchens. While my blog has been oft neglected over the last several years, I’m going to be sharing the progress on our kitchen renovation over the next several weeks. […]

They might share the occasional “keepin’ it real – This is my morning face” kind of pictures but they know that too much of that will […]
So I had seen this old brass pineapple lamp at my mom’s house and figured that it wasn’t super special to anyone a while ago. I had asked my Mom if I could have it a while back but never went over and got it. Flames shooting out the knob of a table lamp in […]
I’ve been wanting… nay, needing more storage space for my kitchen. Our house is actually an upstairs/downstairs duplex with a shared front door and indoor stairs. So basically it’s a house with extra doors, if that makes any sense at all. This means that technically […]
Our boys love history. I think it is all of their favorite subject. We are taking our study of Medieval times to the next level this year. Both of our big boys decided to forfeit birthday parties and gifts in order to get a sweet new room decor. We are turning their tiny lair into […]
