I honestly thought I was being better about taking these pictures each week – but alas, not all of them have the same angles. The back of the house has undergone some equally dramatic changes but I know that I’m missing probably two months of pictures. The house was backed so close to the back…
I was headed to the grocery store this weekend rather casually and figured I should grab something for dinner. In an effort to prevent a lot of aisle wandering and salty snack purchases, I grabbed a sticky note to make a list. And in that minute I dreamed up this recipe for a seared fish…
Consider this the official five month mark! When we were first getting construction quotes, the timeline ranged from 4-9 months… who knows where we will end up but it’s been a busy five months so far. This wasn’t the easiest week in the book. Lots of discussion around plumbing and electrical. The hardest part of…
Just like many areas of this house, the hall bathroom has undergone several transformations to get where we are. And when you look at the floor plan changes…. you might just chuckle to yourself at the end result. Why? Because it’s going to be exactly the same as it was for the first 70+ years…
It feels like we are on a roll of super productive weeks. After those incredibly cold weeks in December and early January, things are happening… every…. day. Even on Saturdays.

Of the three bathrooms in the house, the downstairs bathroom is the one I can most clearly visualize coming together. Awhile back I wrote up some background on the space, but now it is time to introduce some of what is swirling around in my head. As previously stated, this bathroom is more than just…
… to picking a tub. After this week’s moderate panic, I found some degree of clarity around what I’m potentially looking for. Unfortunately, it is probably not what my plumber wants – but he also said he doesn’t care as long as I’m happy. To help share some of the crazy that has been inside…
Guys. After a month of looking at dumb plumbing fixtures … and feeling like I was “done” making decisions, I’m not. Or am I? WHO KNOWS ANYMORE. I had started months ago by just saying “do the whole house in Kohler Bancroft!” please and thank you. Then, I had a poor experience with a sales…
When I was looking back on the pictures from this week, it was hard to believe all of this happened in just 5 days. It was exciting when the house landed on its foundation last week, but man – the progress just keeps happening. Each day was something new. In one day alone, we added…
