Our Home Restoration: Before & After

We Bought the House Knowing It Needed Everything—And We Were Really Excited About That Most people walk into a house with old flooring, no appliances, and a half-sunken bathtub and think, “Nope.” We walked in and said, “Perfect.” From the start, we knew this place was going to be a full-gut, top-to-bottom, take-it-down-to-the-studs kind of […]

Effortless Entertaining: A Guide to Happy Hosting

Housewarming Gifts That Everyone Actually Wants
