our digs: the fall 2015 version

It's been a while since we've done a bit of a recap on where things stand with each room in the house, so I figured it would be the perfect time to take you through a little tour. Just to remind you guys: we basically started from scratch with our house summer of 2014 - ripping the roof off, and adding a second and third storey and attached garage. We have been back in our home since January of ... View the Post

How To Build A Cedar Porch Ceiling

There have been a lot of outdoor projects on our “to do” list this summer. After (more or less) completing the renovation/build on our home over the winter, once the snow melted, there were so many things in our front and backyard that needed addressing. Grass.

We have been trying to keep a balance of soaking up the season with fun activities and outings to our family cottages, mixed with some weekends at home dedicated to exterior projects around the house.

Wallpaper Hanging Tips From A Beginner

So I know I said I was focusing on getting our bedroom closer to done, but I got side-tracked with Maya's closet. "Oooop-ieeees" as Maya would say. All of our closets have been pretty much a disaster since we moved in. We made sure there was a rod and a shelf in Maya's closet, but then just shoved things in, including two small dressers we had from the old house. In all honesty, it was still ... View the Post
