Our previous home

This is the home where our blog began and my kids were raised. "The Esquire" -- a Ryan Homes floor plan that I built in 2005. We upgraded it's builders-grade quality ourselves on a tight budget. We sold The Esquire in 2018 to move into "The Picket Fence House". I include lots of before + after photos, source lists and links to DIY tutorials. See how we decorated during the holidays take our seasonal home tour. Another fun feature is to shop my home so that you can recreate a similar look in your own spaces!
