I’ve mentioned my hubby’s vision of having John Deere equipment before.  I, too, have a vision.  Part of this vision is having an old farm truck to run into town in.  I’ve wanted one for a while now, but what … Continue reading →

Before and after – The creepy closet

Posted on May 30, 2013 by admin

The eldest’s room was a pretty easy re-do.  (Full before and after here)  There was some texture on the walls we re-skimmed, the floors were re-finished, and everything was painted, but there was one drastic transformation….the closet. I think the … Continue reading →

The bathroom that wasn’t….is. Before and after

Posted on March 28, 2013 by admin

This project was completed a loooong time ago, but I haven’t posted about it yet.  When we looked at this house, there was a room that was once a bathroom.  At least I think that’s what it once was.  It … Continue reading →
