Matt and I set out to update our kitchen on a budget. I shared a few “in between shots” and demo details here. A few things for you to keep in mind (which we kept in mind while we planned!) This isn’t our dream home/kitchen/etc. So, while we definitely wanted to like our kitchen, we … Read more

The tour.

Wow. That is what I feel when I watch this trailer. That and a giant lump in my throat. Not only am I amazed by the talent and dedication of my brother in law, the actors, and the producing theater Burnt Thicket, but I am ever reminded of the importance of others hearing stories like … Read more

Time for Change: Updating our Basement on a Budget!

When we bought our {first} house over 5 years ago, we had to make it work somehow. Like many newlyweds, we were on a limited budget, so we had room mates! We lived downstairs, rented out the upper level. It worked really well, and we did that for about 2 years. We decided to make … Read more
