I'm sure everyone goes through this in one way or another, right? But this last creative funk has lasted MANY MONTHS for me.

Looking back at 2019
WHAT A YEAR!! Our blog definitely took a weird shift when we started doing more renovation projects than actual DIY projects and furniture builds. So much so that when I started going back through the projects we did in 2019, I didn't expect to have much to report other than home improvement projects. But I was wrong!! So let's take a little walk down memory lane and recap our year here at Reality ... [ Read More ]
