There has been a flurry of activity over at our house in these last few weeks. My last update - here - was after they had gutted the interior of the house. Well, a lot has happened on our house renovation since then. First they peeled off all the brick. It filled a whole dumpster worth - which can actually be ground up and used as fill again, so it's a "clean" dumpster - but not before I ... View the Post
the cottage bunkie: interior finishes
So you saw the other day the exterior finishes we chose for the workshop-turned-bunkie at our lake. Now I'll get into what we've got going on for the cottage bunkie interior finishes.

Right after we got back from our trip to England mid-May, we packed up our house in lightening speed (thanks to some lovely family members who helped out!), and hired movers to get the majority of our stuff into a ...

You guys know I have a bit of a problem with collecting - hence why I started renting things out for weddings + photoshoots (see that here). Makes the whole collecting thing somewhat legit. Right? Ha. I love the thrill of the hunt. Finding something old that is perfect on it's own, or something that I can make over into something I love. This is the story of a vintage window turned picture ...
