Today, I’m going to share with you what I learned during my shower remodel, and how you […]
The Laundry Room & The Blackout Shopping Trip
Oh guys, I suppose I’m right on track with the typical week 3’s of the One Room Challenge.

The Laundry Room Nightmares Are Made Of…
Okay, so maybe my blog post title is just a teeny tiny bit melodramatic. But honestly guys, my laundry room is horrid and in terrible need of a renovation. To begin with it isn’t even IN my house.

Master Bedroom: One Room Challenge Week 5
Guys, it’s week 5 of the One Room Challenge, and I’m stuck in bed sick. As in chills, fever, and the incapability to do common things like stay upright on my legs for more than 5 minutes at a time, or eat. Blegh. I guess there isn’t going to be much progress to share this […]
