Well it’s been nearly a month since my last post. Did you miss me? With three little kids, a pretty demanding full-time job and the hustle and bustle of the holidays, I haven’t have much time to work on any home improvement projects lately. Add to that pile, I’m using all of my free time […]

Other than some sunburn, we couldn’t have asked for a better time. Since we finished the built-in in our sitting room a few months ago, we’ve been spending a […]
