Kitchen Faucet Upgrade
I’ve always been a big believer that small changes can make dramatic differences. When we first bought our home I knew the style wasn’t quite my taste but I knew with some creativity and vision I could get this place to where I wanted it. I could make it OUR home. If you’ve been follow along you’ve seen all the progress weve made so far on our kitchen including our kitchen island makeover. I was so in love with all the farmhouse charm we had added with the lights, cabinet pulls, and wood detailing and paint, but it still felt like it was missing something. This brushed nickel faucet was…

It made a super cute girly frame for a mirror that never got hung! Super cute right?! Well just over a year…

Popcorn No More

So how’s it going you may wonder? Take a look! So far I under took the hallway that leads to the girls bedrooms and the area in front of the coat closet. I also did the hallway in front of the laundry room and most recently tackled my biggest room yet, the kitchen! Was it worth it? 100% yes. Is this labor intensive? 100% yes. I will not sugar coat the process. It is messy…

Our First Post!
Welcome! Thanks for joining me here for my first ever blog post! I decided I wanted to start a blog to keep a journal of our home and archive the fun stuff we have done so far and all the amazing plans we have for the future!

So, I figure the first post needs to be an introduction to the BIG BRICK BEAUTY and explanation as to how we ended up here! My husband and I met in high school. After graduating and joining…
