DIY wrapping paper rack
The third and final room on the upper right side of the house is coming along nicely. We have deemed this last bedroom the Craft/Art room. Oh and wrapping room. Every wrapping station needs a wrapping paper holder. Probably the easiest DIY project...
Shared Boys Room -Navy and Mint
Seems like we scampered to finish the kid’s rooms first so they could feel settled in the new home. The boy’s shared room is just about complete. Just waiting to find another set of curtains and two matching desk chairs, but thought I would go ahead and...
Staining the deck (or the most boring post you’ll ever read)
It was time for the deck to be stained, according to how long the wood sat to dry out after construction. They say to wait at least two months before staining and sealing new wood. Here you can see the railing vs. the floor where I put stain. For the HOA...

Painting a garage entry
Well we’re almost done unpacking! And projects are under way in the new house. We couldn’t wait to get started and we’ve been painting, sanding, wood cutting fools for the past two weeks. One of the first things I did because it was easy...
