We *finally* have an appointment to look at a venue this week. I’ve been emailing and calling places for the last three weeks, so it’ll be really nice to feel like something is happening. Fingers crossed!! While my own planning is still mostly on hold, I...
Going into our kitchen reno, there were two big unknowns: the chimney and the floors. You may remember from our plans that we were hoping to be able to expose the brick chimney that was hiding behind several layers of drywall. We also were hoping...
Our entryway is a huge waste of space. It’s probably the biggest, most open room in the whole house, with a large staircase and gorgeous stained glass windows. But we use it for nothing but piles … piles of mail, piles of things to take...
