No, I’m not talking about fall, or pumpkin barf spice everything. I am talking about the One Room Challenge! For this challenge, we will be tackling the front/formal living room. It recently looked like this before I sold my beloved ektorp furniture. We recently purchased a sectional from Costco of all places and I needed a […]
A new venture
Last summer, I had an idea for a business, a space where people could come together to create. We would have a variety of classes and my wonderfully creative friends who all share different passions and abilities in art would be able to share their passion with others. People who want to create but need […]
It’s time for the 3rd Annual No Spend February!
Have I ever told you that I hate the color red? It’s probably my least favorite color. Anyways, after that random introduction let’s move on. February is fast approaching and that means it’s time for a NO SPEND month. This time we will be using all the money we save to pay for our […]

ORC Week 6 – Reveal of the Outdoor Oasis
It’s reveal day! AH! Six short weeks ago I decided to start the ORC and use our deck for the “room.” We had to restain our deck this year so we figured it would be a good time to really make the deck somewhere that we wanted to hang out. With springtime in Minnesota […]

Well, I don’t have a lot to update on this week. We did manage to finish staining the deck last Friday. My man took the afternoon off from work as we had a small window in which to stain before it rained, again and again, oh and then again. Ruby’s pretty excited to be […]
