year 2 – 2012 house renovation plans

We have made a lot of progress in the past year but there is hopefully a lot more to come in 2012. At least I really hope so. While I love the renovating, I am looking forward to a bit of a rest for the big projects.

Take a look at this great post from Ask Anna on how to fix that so bloggers can reply to you.
