Home Tour: Our Entryway Makeover

Yippee! The post we have been so excited for is finally here! Last weekend Andy and I finally went up to the cabin for the first time since we bought the place. We took a whole bunch of photos and filmed a video walkthrough of the whole house. Since there’s...

The Story of Our House… Plus Some News

I was thinking recently about how we’ve been sharing all these pictures and projects around our house for the last five years, but we’ve never told you the story about how we actually came to live here. This is a long story, and you might as well read through to the...
