I absolutely love any reason to visit an antique store. The idea of rummaging through pieces of furniture that have survived the test of time brings me this sense of adventure. There is something to the thought that you can take something old and make it new again. So when we moved into our newRead More
This is one of my favorite furniture refinish projects we have completed thus far. I inherited my grandfather’s buffet when he passed away. He held a special place in my heart and I will always miss him. Having something that was his is such a wonderful memory of him. It is something that I canRead More
The boy’s blue dresser project was right up our alley. Something that Kevin and I like to do is find old pieces of furniture and refinish them. When I say old I mean sturdy, all wood, with lots of character pieces. The kind that they don’t seem to make anymore. It seems like now aRead More
I thought I would write a quick post about sweet little Mason. Since this is currently happening and it blows my mind. He has started pulling himself up on everything. It felt like he went from yoga poses, trying to figure out crawling, to straight climbing and standing! My almost 8-month-old is growing so fast!Read More
Anything that sounds like a train looks like a train or might be a train is right up Grayson’s alley. He loves all things TRAINS, or as he calls them “Coo Coo’s”! We recently spent a weekend at my Grandmas lake house in Lake Erie. I’m pretty sure there were about a million trains thatRead More

We put together his Graco Dream Suite Bassinet and Changer. The sweet little bed came together quickly and we wheeled it intoRead More
I will hold on to my dream of white cabinets in my kitchen even though it’s more or less a pipe dream at the moment. Unless I, myself, paint our current cabinets, win the lottery, or be named in a long-lost relative’s will. I don’t play the lottery, don’t have hopes for the will partRead More
We initially moved into our new house in February 2018. From our home inspection, we were well aware that a project that we would have to work on was the deck. It was definitely something that we liked about the house, at least from the part we could see. There were rotted boards and lotsRead More
It is truly amazing what we as parents are willing to do for more sleep. Whether it be a swaddle, expensive bassinet, multiple types of pacifiers, or any other claim to fame aiding in more sleep for one’s baby. Well, at least I will do just about anything! I have to say neither of myRead More
