I love hearing how excited you guys are for us to get started on this entire building process.  I get messages all the time asking WHEN things are going to happen.  Well, your guess is as good as ours.  The Woods and Ivy Cottage can be started any time soon!  ???????? ????????     As […]

I know I’ve told you a million times that we like different sitting areas.  Morning coffee, happy hour, lunches, snacks all need to be enjoyed with different scenery.  ????   At least that’s how we think.  We always sipped our coffee on the front porch at the House on Winchester.  And our happy hours were USUALLY […]

  Thank you to eBay and ShopStyle for sponsoring this post. I have been DYING to show you the dining room makeover in the camper.  I actually laugh at myself when I call it a “dining room” because it’s like 6’x3′.    ???? Well…. I’m REALLY laughing in this pic ???????? because Deb was taking […]

If you are new here, we are living in a rental while we build our new house.  In order for us to NOT be miserable living in a house that’s not ours, we decided to give the backyard a makeover on a budget.  We spend every freaking minute that we can in our outdoor spaces. […]

  NOTE:  We approve everything we do here at the rental with our landlords.  We aren’t using our own money as we do have a barter system with them for these projects.  It’s a question I get multiple times whenever I post about them.   I’ve told you several times that we will be here […]

I already shared that we are going to give this backyard at the rental a makeover on a budget.  We love being outside and love lots of different areas to hang.  This backyard isn’t functional AT ALL.  We love vegetable gardens, fire pits, barbecue areas, etc.   And since we will be here all summer, it […]

Well…   Plans sure do change at the drop of a dime, don’t they?  We truly thought our new build would have at least been started by now.  We were hoping we would be in there doing our finishing work by mid-summer.  And moving in by the end of summer.   But, we finally admitted to ourselves […]
