Well…here we are again… with another case of the “nasties”. Only this time, it’s the half bathroom with before pictures.  And you already know how I feel about those nasty before pictures. ???? I feel really sad. Deb can’t look at them without having a horrible reaction inside. I guess we have to look at […]

If you follow me on Instagram and Facebook, you see Ivy’s ???? picture a lot.  I mean… who doesn’t have 14,000 pictures of their dog on their phone doing nothing but sleeping?  ????????‍♀️ I shared about Ivy’s Rescue on my Instagram stories and had several of you want to replay them.  But, as you know, […]

OK guys…..  It’s finally time for the kitchen reveal.  Room reveal posts take a long time because of the massive amount of pictures and picture editing, etc, and we’ve been rather busy around here.  You know…the pergola…. another project that is taking F.O.R.E.V.E.R.  We have lots of things to finish before the dumb “W” word sets […]

[…]

Looking back through old pictures of this house makes me realize two things:   One being, this house was so sad when we first bought it.   The energy that the entire structure exuded was that of depression, disease, and desperation.  The air was heavy.
