Front entry/mudroom tour + plans for the future
Happy Wednesday! Today I have our entry and mudroom reveal! We’re pretty happy with how it turned out! Behold, our entryway!

Day 84 of our dream home build – almost boxed in!
Hello everyone! Time has been FLYING since I’ve been back at work. I’ve got so many ideas for new posts, but I thought I should at least start with sharing some more of our house progress before we get too much further into the build. After a couple weeks of blocking and sheeting, we are…

Hello!! We are in a very exciting part of our build. We have our floors and walls! I was just going to include the framing in my update, but I realized my last update had a dirt basement floor. On May 29th, we had our concrete slab poured. What great progress for the first month…
