Remodel Update

I just wanted to update everyone on the remodel.  All the sheetrock is installed, mudded, taped, and textured.  The electrical is all in and ready for lights.  Our base cabinets went in and our countertops were installed.  We will install our island and our 8x4 island countertop once the hardwood floors are in.  Steve finished one of the sinks in the master bathroom and fingers crossed that he will be finishing the second one today.  We (we meaning Steve) demoed the powder bath on the main floor and we are currently tiling the mudroom and bathroom.  The stair railing is almost completed and we just need to finish putting the caps on each of the posts. The hardwood floors are scheduled to be installed this next week.  After the floors are installed, the cabinets are next, and then our cabinet guy will be painting them onsite for a better paint finish.   We have trim to finish up and shiplap to install on the main floor.  We will also need to finish carpeting the stairs, finish the … [Read more...]

Simple Homemaking || Honor Your Unique Style of Homemaking

When we create a home we love and care for, it will become a place we celebrate. This will look different for each of us.  I know as a homemaker I can ask myself a couple questions as I work out my own unique style of homemaking. Where am I at?

Early Summer Favorites

I'm prepping for summer around here.  This summer will be full of camps, crafts, library visits, hikes, gardening, a bit of travel, maybe a little camping. Favorite shoes I just purchased.  I have been looking at these for a couple years now.  I bought them when they were on sale. I'm also planning to purchase another pair of saltwater sandals, my red ones have finally begun to fall apart after years of use.  I've always been so impressed with these sandals and their durability. Okay, I'm loving my sinks by Native Trails.  They are the ones we are using in our home, in our kitchen, master, and powder bath, and they are so pretty, they add texture and contrast and are different then your traditional sink. This goat cheese from Trader Joes.  I have actually had multiple people comment to me in the store when I buy this telling my how this cheese is so amazing. Yum. I just signed up to take this watercolor class by Jones Design Company. This song is my favorite right … [Read more...]
