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
Pantry Remodel with Open Shelves
Once our kitchen was pretty much done, we started to realize just how irritating our existing pantry situation was. And not in a nit-picky, I-only-live-in-perfect-houses sort of way. In a my-husband-will-lose-it-if-the-garage-door-keeps-slamming-into-the-pantry-door sort of way. When our house was built, it was gifted with an abundance of doors in a very teeny space.

Beautiful Lighting (on a budget)
Hi, guys (or y'all, to those of you in the South), So I'm trying to do blog posts more often and keep them shorter since I know you all get bored after a couple of sentences. Or at least that's what I hear from expert bloggers. You like bite-sized pieces like M&Ms rather than a Hershey bar, which will melt in your pocket if you break it into squares to save for later.

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.)
