The Paper Bag Floor – Picture Heavy
I know I talked about it and even posted some snippets of the floor. I have gotten many questions about the floor I wanted to see how the floor has held up before posting about it. I finished the floor back in August (the 16th to be exact) which means it has been a little … Continue reading
Reclaimed Wood Shelf Ledge – Pottery Barn Knockoff
This past spring my previous neighbor was deposing of an old picket fence and asked me if I wanted the wood. I of course said yes because it was free wood.

We Have a Living Room!

One Step Forward, Two Back
