Ashley and I really wanted to get patio chairs so we could enjoy our backyard and deck. Problem was, a set of chairs can be very expensive and we had enough expenses right now with the new house. Then one weekend Ashley went out garage sale shopping and ran across a set of 6 of […]

Painted Candle Holders
When Ashley and I first moved into our new home there were these candle holders located above the fireplace mantel that we just didn’t care for very much. At first glance, one would have thought they were hard-wired into the wall but upon closer inspection we noticed that they were only attached to the wall […]
Chair Rail Preview
A small preview of what our basement now looks like. The entire basement is now wrapped in chair rail and has two tone paint. We also did all three of the kid’s rooms. I will be posting more details later but for now enjoy!
Outdoor Farmhouse Table
One thing Ashley and I said we really wanted on the new deck was a table. A table that was capable of having 8 people sit around it in comfort but that also looked cool and was function for the space when not in use. I also knew that I was going to have a […]
Pull-Out Trash Drawer
Ashley and I have wanted a pull out trash drawer for quite some time now, even back when we lived in our townhouse. The problem has always been room. When we moved into our new home, we thought we could get away with an external trash can and even considered getting one of those stainless […]
New Thermostat
This isn’t much of a post but I wanted to get something up to show everyone that we are continuing to do work on the house. This was a simple swap. Removed the old thermostat and installed a new energy efficient model that allows us to schedule temp changes throughout the day (even though we have yet […]
New Microwave
I know that I have been promising some updates to the house and I finally have one to share. We have been very busy doing stuff around the house and have gotten quite a bit done but I don’t feel that anything is 100% yet. It’s getting closer though. Shortly after moving in, our microwave […]
New Things Coming
I know it has been awhile since I have posted. Ashley and I have been pretty busy with life. Most notably, we bought a house! We haven’t technically moved in yet but we already have a dozen or so plans in the works to paint, fix, rehab, and remodel. This is a very exciting time for us. Below […]
Dresser to Desk Project
A few weeks ago my wife showed me a project on Pinterest where someone took an old table, cut a few feet off the top and mounted it on the wall to make it into a desk. We were in the planning stages of a room remodel for our daughters and thought something like this […]
Linen Closet Addition
It’s no secret that our townhouse is busting at the seams with the 2 adults and 3 kids that live there. In the past, we have gotten very creative in making due and finding ways to store things. We have also done a great job and just chucking stuff (aka donating). One place that I […]
