Today I have the pleasure of bringing you a lovely home tour from my friend Jenny. We met several years ago when we were in the same bunco group. Alas, I am no longer playing bunco, but I am grateful for the friendships that came out of it. The last time I was at Jenny’s I think she and Ryan had recently just finished building their home.

While tackling a remodel project comes with its own sets of challenges,… Read more »

For the past month and a half, we have been chipping away at her inherited guidance classroom, with still a few more projects left to go. We are taking a little pause for the next month, so I thought it would be fun to give you a progress report today. If you recall from the original… Read more »
