WE MOVED! | WHEN, WHERE, AND WHY?

Posted on September 28, 2021December 9, 2021 by Megan

To put it simply, we had too much. Too much house, too much yard, too much time and money spent… We try our best to be aware when something is taking too much of our resources, and not just in time and money, but energy, attention, space in our brains, etc. That’s where we were at with our old home. It’s a beautiful home, with a nice yard, lots of space, a great location… and yet, we weren’t happy because we were stretched thin…

REFINISHING OUR DECK | DIY RESTORATION

Posted on September 17, 2021December 9, 2021 by Megan

I know, I know… “Weren’t you finishing your basement?” The answer is- yes. But if you’ve been to any store that sells lumber in the past year, you would know that prices are outrageous. We finished insulating and framing most of the outside walls before we ran out of lumber and decided we should wait…

I cannot tell you how GOOD it feels so good to be back with another easy DIY! So much has happened since January, but also not a whole lot has been accomplished.

AFFORDABLE KITCHEN ORGANIZERS | AMAZON FINDS

Posted on January 28, 2021December 9, 2021 by Megan

Organizing is really “on trend” right now, which is kind of my dream come true. Bins, baskets, drawers… These are a few of my favorite things. The only problem with trendy things is the inevitable markup. Organizers are so expensive- it can be nearly impossible to make a dent in your project without a major…

For my birthday this year, Megan surprised me with a new Google Nest Thermostat! We’ve considered getting a smart thermostat since we moved in, but had always decided it was better to spend the money on something else.

BUILDING INDUSTRIAL SHELVES FOR OUR HALF BATH

Posted on November 14, 2019December 9, 2021 by Megan

When we purchased our home, a few pieces were left behind by the previous owners such as a pink teepee, fuzzy bathmats, and landscape blocks. We have gotten rid of most things (i.e. everything listed above), except for this contemporary glam round mirror in our half bathroom downstairs. The half bath has looked exactly like…

BATHROOM FAUCET BUMMER

Posted on July 14, 2019December 9, 2021 by Tyler

First, a bit of background. We’ve replaced faucets before. Our downstairs bathroom faucet started acting up about a year ago and we swapped it out for a new one. Our kitchen faucet has a peculiarity where after you swivel it back and forth enough times, a threaded collar inside works its way loose and the…

For us, weekend nap times usually mean tackling an outdoor projects.

It’s a pain in the tail to mow around and…
