Day 107: Project 1896 (Our Home Renovation)…Special Mudroom Edition!
Those of you who follow me on Instagram may have seen my Stories yesterday, and some issues that have creeped up over the past several days. I don’t want to dwell on that right now, though. Instead, I’m going to talk about an area that’s actually, thus far (knock on a 2×4, I’ve got lots…)…

Where do I begin? The past week has been somewhat of a blur. So much so that I completely overlooked Friday as a blogging day, and didn’t even think of it until Saturday night. Thanks so much to those who sent so many nice comments my way here on the blog, on Facebook and IG…

How exciting – I’m at the point in this process where I can post renovation updates in consecutive weeks, and not have them be totally redundant! Last week, it was all about excavation and the footings being poured. After that, things continued to move quickly. The next day, the forms went up for the foundation…

It’s been about a month or so since I’ve blogged about our renovation, mainly because I’ve been waiting until something ‘exciting’ happened. Day 1 was amazing – interior demo was swift and ruthless! Reminder… Days 2 through 50 or so seemed to drag on. Although progress was definitely happening, it was just not as visible…

First of all, I wanted to thank everyone who took the time to read and/or comment on my One Room Challenge reveal last week. I am overwhelmed by the feedback, and couldn’t be more delighted with the results. It stands as one of my favorite projects to date – I adore creating unique and imaginative…

It’s been a weird, wild, and wonderful (in a weird way) day. I am posting much later on Tuesdays than typical – I’m lucky to get one out at all. So I’ll make this quick… I’ve spent a lot of time decorating my house, which was built in 1896 (hence #KRIProject1896), and making the rooms…

I think it’s finally time to start blogging about the renovation my family has been planning for, oh, about 4 years. After a series of postponements and false starts, we are ready to go now. Let’s get this party started! And by party, I mean 7-8 months living through a major construction project that involves…

I hope you enjoyed the holiday season! It feels like ages since I’ve blogged, though it hasn’t been – I just took a short, planned hiatus for the holidays. And yet the holidays went by so fast. I don’t understand how that works! I postponed writing this post until this morning, because I honestly felt…

Hey, y’all! (I’m not from the South, but I can still say that, right?) I know it’s been awhile since I blogged. I definitely haven’t given up on blogging, but over the past few months I’ve been busy watching both my two boys (3.8 and 8 months), and my business grow like crazy. It is…

Bathroom projects are among the most common renovations people undertake in their homes. They can be exciting, but also stressful. Aside from possibly having to adjust your everyday personal hygeine rituals during the course of construction, and dealing with ballooning budgets and slipping schedules – you’ll need to commit to specific not-inexpensive and not-flexible materials…
