Operation Laundry Room {wiring/plumbing}

Remember how we tore out our stand-up shower with plans to make our giant downstairs bathroom into a dreamy laundry room?

We’ve been keeping our readers up to date on the status of our ‘baby fund’ on Facebook and ... [ Read More ]

He agreed to reschedule, not even bothering to mention that the ‘next day’ ... [ Read More ]

Reader Question… UNFINISHED PROJECTS

by

A lovely reader asked a very valid question recently, and we decided to answer... and bare it all. Here’s her inquiry. What do you do to stay motivated in the the middle of a project? I have begun and I am nearly at the end of redoing these book shelves and have not completed it! It drives me nuts! Any advice on getting started again? I think picking the final paint color is mentally blocking ... [ Read More ]
