Hi guys! I'll bet most of you already know this, but today is the official day that our issue of American Farmhouse Style magazine hit newsstands! (By "our issue", I mean the issue that features our home and our kitty.) Apparently it hit a few places early, because I saw it at the grocery store a couple days ago and got mine in the mail last week. But. Now it's officially here across the ... View Post
How to Use Barn Doors. Well.
Welcome back, guys! Hope you had a good 4th! I always have good intentions of updating the blog often but then life gets in the way. But, since I know you are on the edge of your seat about this farmhouse/barn door discussion, I thought getting back to it right away might save someone from decking out their whole house in brand new "barn doors" from Lowe's. Though I might be too late because ... View Post

We tend to have the hours between 8pm and 3am free, which is a good thing, because we've been ... View Post
Master Bedroom Progress
Hey guys! It has been awhile since I mentioned the master bedroom...remember the vintage door wall? You can see how we did it here. The door wall got finished, but the room never did, because we used it for storage for our master bath reno. (Here is the beginning of that, if you are interested.) Both of these projects got put on hold in order to finish the main floor, which is just a few ... View Post
Okay, You Can Have a Peek, but Don’t Judge Us
What I meant in the last post about you not being able to see the room was this: if you see this room, you will think we're pigs. And if you want to know what I think about that, read the first post of this blog, "Welcome". It's not that we want to live sloppily, it's just that we have kids who are using our bathroom for teeth-brushing. And a husband/daddy who has taken it over its vinyl ... View Post
