Hello there!
I’m Melissa and I live in Madison, Wisconsin with my husband (Max) and son (Elliot).
We also have two rescue Cavalier King Charles Spaniels: Henry and Sophie.

This blog (formerly known as Lumber Loves Lace) began in 2015, right before our Valentine’s Day wedding. I decided to start this blog to document our life in Wisconsin, recipes, and DIY projects.
Later that same year we closed on our first house! We’ve slowly been updating it. And I have even more slowly been blogging about it. In 2016 we welcomed our son Elliot and I took a short break from all things renovating and blogging. But lately I’ve been feeling the need for a creative outlet and so here we are!
Thanks for following along 🙂
