Welcome

This blog is about our journey of fixing up our house. We have learned a lot and have a lot to learn. Our goals on this journey are to: work hard, save money and make it our own. We have felt such satisfaction and love making this house our home. We hope that we can help you to do the same. Happy fixing...

 We are thinking about bead board, a built-in bench and a little table. It would be perfect for the boys to do homework while I am making dinner.

  1. Gorgeous! I think my favorite part (if I had to choose) are the original wood floors you have re-done. Great job!
