Week before last, I showed y’all the fabric design that I had come up with for the draperies in our dining area, which is the room I hope to tackle when I’m finished with the storage room. Here’s the original design I shared with you. After I shared that design, I made a few more...

Yesterday was a very different kind of work day for me. Y’all know that I almost always work alone. When I’m ready to work on a project, I put on my noise-cancelling headphones, turn on a podcast, and get busy. I stop every two hours and check on Matt, but other than that, it’s just...

Today I want to talk about the most vulnerable topic for me — weight and weight loss. If you’ve followed me for years, you know that my weight issues have been an ongoing struggle for me. It’s been a sensitive area for me for the last two decades. My real struggle with weight began shortly...

I took a day off from working on the storage room yesterday because I needed to think through the two options for the flooring that I shared with you yesterday. In a nutshell, my two options were to keep the subfloor and concrete board in place, repair the small portion of concrete board that I...

I’ve made some good progress on the storage room, but it has been slower than I expected. I’m okay with that, though. I’m not working on a schedule, and I don’t have a date by which this project needs to be finished. So as long as I’m using my time wisely and working diligently, I...

Y’all know me well enough by now to know that the first idea is almost never the final idea. And that’s true with every project I do, whether I’m making a chandelier, designing fabric for curtains, or mapping out a floor plan. I start with one plan, and over time, I let that plan roll...

Now that I’ve found a dining table for the breakfast room, I’m really anxious to finish up the storage room and get to work on the breakfast room. Don’t worry. I haven’t forgotten about the storage room, and I won’t get too distracted with other things until that room is finished. But during my downtime...

Since the beginning of this year, I’ve been checking Facebook Marketplace at least once a week for dining tables available in my area. I’ve told y’all before that the Marketplace offerings in the Waco area are terrible. The stuff on Marketplace in my area seem to fall into one of two categories: (1) junk, or...

It’s been about two-and-a-half or three weeks since I showed you all new pictures of the front of our house, and before I took those pictures, I bought new plants for the mailbox planter, the two pots beside the front steps, and planter between the chairs on the front porch. But then I forgot to...

Yesterday, I met with my contractor to discuss the details of the sunroom remodel, and I’m starting to get pretty excited about this project. This doesn’t mean that the remodel is going to start right away. As I’ve mentioned before, the goal is to do this out-of-pocket so that we incur no debt. That means...
