Stuff Room

January 29, 2014

Stuff Room

I talked yesterday about finally hanging the bulletin board and today I'm excited to share with you the mudroom evolution!   It's certainly one of those rooms that will evolve with time, but I am excited to have a space to hide/organize all the junk that accumulates like snowpants, car seats,  school papers. and miscellaneous "stuff".  I should

Complicated.

Complicated.

The kiddos have been out of school the past two days due to extreme cold temps.  It's difficult to think of things to do when it's so cold outside.  So, what did I do for entertainment in the cold?  I put my babe into a pink knit peapod and took adorable photos of her immobilization. I did manage

Bar Stools

I picked up some barstools at TJ Maxx this weekend. They are comfortable and I like the weathered, imperfect finish on the legs.  But when I brought them home, I wasn't crazy about them.  I wish that they would be a little taller than the top of the breakfast bar and perhaps something with a more open back.

Cold.

Cold.

As I am sure most of the country knows, we in Wisconsin are experiencing a polar vortex.  I saw someone post on Facebook that it was colder in Wisconsin than in the South Pole or Antartica.  Our pipes in our upstairs bathroom are frozen, and the bathtub won't even drain.   Needless to say, my kiddos have been

Kitchen Reveal

I have been hesitant to post "before" photos of the house until now because I was afraid people would think I was crazy for taking on a house in the condition it was in.  I saw all the ugly things about the house, sure.  The ugly features were pretty hard to miss.  But when we walked through the
