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 […]
ORC Week 5 Outdoor Oasis
It’s time for the week 5 update, ummmm……didn’t I just start this 2 weeks ago?

ORC Week 4 – Outdoor Oasis
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 […]
ORC Week 3 – Outdoor Oasis
Well friends, the weather in Minnesota this past weekend was so amazing! Sunny with temps in the 70’s made it the perfect weekend to stain the deck. Between the two of us, we managed to get two coats of stain on all the railing and even some on the aluminum spindles, womp womp. I’m hoping […]

ORC Week 4 Master Bathroom Lighting & Hardware
This week I don’t have much progress so let’s talk about bathroom hardware and lighting. I’ve been searching the internet for weeks trying to find cheap hardware that was also brass and didn’t look like it was from my grandma’s kitchen. I had my heart set on this one from myknobs.com and also I think it’s […]
