Making Over a Thrift Store Metal Basket I love thrift stores. I love browsing the aisles, looking for that one treasure that needs a new home.

The Knockdown Part Two

Renovations· The Guest Bedroom #1· The Guest Bedroom #2

11 Apr

Knocking down walls, part two. It’s become apparent that Brett and I love taking down walls. Maybe it’s because it gives you almost instant gratification.

Renovations· The Exterior

23 Mar

Removing the Outside Ramps Staying on trend with this house’s ridiculous need to have multiples of everything (four water heaters, three outside electrical meters, two furnaces, etc.) it would only make sense that there would be two outside ramps – one at each main entrance.
