baseboards make such a difference
Baseboards. Such a simple project in reality but one that kept getting pushed down on the to do list. That to do list of random unfinished projects that has been haunting us all 2011 but thankfully we crossed a lot off that off in the last two weeks.We had the wood floors installed last February and have been living with the gaps between the floor boards and the old baseboards.

refinishing an exposed beam ceiling – part 1
We are starting off the year with a big project. One that will hopefully lead a finished family room in the first half of the year. The space currently looks like this. This room was one of the biggest selling points for us. It is a massive room with tons of character which makes it great for entertaining.

2011 wrap up – most popular posts
I'm loving all these year-end wrap ups I'm seeing so I decided to join in on the fun. Yes, I am following a trend but it is a fun trend! Granted, my stats are nothing crazy but it is still nice to see which posts were the most commented on or viewed. It has been an amazing first year of blogging. This is just a hobby for me and I went into it just to keep my close friends and family up to speed on our renovation. It is nice to share the ideas and inspiration with others who enjoy it and don't … [Read more...]
