DIY Picture Frame Trim on a Frameless Mirror
Major spoiler alert! Because the home gym is just a quick phase one, it's nearly finished. It's been painted a couple fresh coats of white flour (bye, bye burnt orange), the ceiling fan is hung, and we're well on our way to being finished. Promise you'll get a closer look at that pretty ceiling fan […]

Introducing the Layout of the New Laundry Room, Bunk Room, and Bathroom
Our current laundry room is not the most functional in its location or size. When we walked through the house before buying, it was the one thing that I struggled with, especially coming from a house with a second story laundry room with double the machines--we were spoiled! Here, the laundry room is small and […]
