It takes hands to build a house, but only hearts can build a home
I love my master bedroom. I love climbing into our bed, flipping on the television to watch “Friends”, while the LOML falls fast asleep. Or cuddling with the kids on a cold night, watching one of their favorite movies, nibbling on some popcorn. My master bedroom is huge! Most people would like to have my […]
I’m so excited to show y’all our new cozy reading nook in our master bedroom! But before I do, a little recap of how we got here. We had a small alcove in our bedroom that housed the LOMLs computer desk. I’ve wanted to revamp our master bedroom for awhile and when I saw this […]
The cozy reading nook in our master bedroom is coming along so nicely. I’m so proud of all the planning and work that we’ve put into this small but fun space. When we started this blog, we were definitely what you would call “novices”. We knew nothing about building bookcases, laying wood floors, pulling up […]
I’m so excited to be working on our cozy reading nook in our master bedroom. So far, we’ve built the bench. You can read all about it here. I found the black cubicle at IKEA in the damaged section in the front of the store. Fifteen dollars is quite a deal!! Next we built two […]
Our master bedroom is huge!! Now, I know most of you wouldn’t complain about this problem. Let me explain why I’m whining a little bit about it. We’ve lived in our house for 16 years and as an amateur decorator/DIYer/design blogger, this room has always stumped me. It has the usual bed, nightstands, entertainment center, […]
HAPPY 2014 Y'ALL!!! I hope the start of your new year has been a good one. Mine has been pretty lazy. I've been hanging with the family spending lots of time together eating, playing, laughing. The perfect way to spend time!! But now reality has set in. Everyone has started back to school and/or […]
HAPPY (ALMOST) NEW YEAR!!!!! I hope your 2013 was full of blessings! I can't believe another year is almost gone. Time really does fly when you're getting old having fun!! We've been busy in our family room this year. I just couldn't seem to get out of that room. […]
As I sit in my family room looking at a beautiful wall to wall, floor to ceiling bookcase, I let out a big YEAH!!! I’m also doing the happy dance!!! We’ve been working hard for a long time, learning so much and having a lot of fun (that’s my word, not the LOML’s!) while building […]
In EVERY project we have ever done, there's always something that doesn't work out exactly the way we planned. The built-in bookcase in our family room is no exception. I am the idea man (or woman) and the LOML is the how-to man (and he really is a man!). The thought and work he has […]
The built-in bookcases in our family room are coming along quite nicely….slowly, but nicely! This is the picture that is floating around in my head. We've cut all the wood with our table saw. The shelves have the dado cuts with the router. And we used our Kreg Jig, Jr. to cut screw pockets to […]
