All about the progress we're making on our home renovations.
One of the easiest things to do to update a room is change out light fixtures. It’s a very quick and inexpensive DIY project that you can easily do to customize your space and make it your own. The fixtures in our house aren’t terrible – they work and they’re fairly new. They’re just not our… Read More
I first had the urge to make these Fire Pit Benches after stopping for a break at a trailhead during a long Sunday morning bike ride. I loved how they seemed to be made out of just two pieces of wood cut in the most efficient way possible, with minimal complicated cuts or connections. A truly… Read More
It’s been months since we demoed the master bedroom closet. If you want to get into details, it’s been approximately four (almost five) months. Yikes! You can see where we left off with the closet in this post. I’ve been trying not to complain, but it’s been painful last four months without a dedicated closet for our things. All… Read More
Let’s just say we have learned a lot this past year about renovating a house. One of those lessons has been in deciding when to hire out work and when to do it ourselves. Sometimes it makes a lot of sense to do a project yourself. Especially when you are looking to keep labor costs down and if the… Read More
I can’t believe it’s already July! Time is going by so quickly. Here in lumber land we’re finally finishing up lots and lots of projects around the house. I’m very excited about all our progress and have tons of updates to share. First things first… WE KNOCKED DOWN WALLS! There were these awkward pony walls that separated the kitchen… Read More
Since closing on our house in August we’ve been trying to tackle way too many projects at once. We’ve been doing so much that I forget to blog about it all! One of the first projects we did was in our kitchen. But since I haven’t mentioned the kitchen much on here, I figured I’d back up and… Read More
I’m back! And first, I’ve gotta say, winter has just been dragging on… and on… and on… here in Madison. What makes it most unbearable is that when you think it’s over and the snow has finally melted it decides to snow again! WHY!?! Within the past week the last few patches of snow have melted from our yard… Read More
Happy New Year! We’re a few weeks into 2016 now and with things finally getting back to normal after the holidays, Max and I were able to sit down and talk about some of the projects we would like to tackle on the house this upcoming year. We’re pretty excited! We closed on our house in mid-August and… Read More
The hall bathroom is coming along nicely! I talked about some of the changes we wanted to do to this bathroom in the previous post. And now I finally snapped some photos to share the progress we’ve made so far. But before I show the progress photos let’s remember where we started! The walls were two different… Read More
Over the last few months we’ve been simultaneously tackling multiple projects at once. It’s been pretty overwhelming. But one of our projects that’s almost in decent enough shape to show on the blog is our main bathroom. Max was able to snap some before photos on the house during our last tour before the closing. Here is… Read More
