For the past few weeks, I have been trying to figure out something that I could start right now. The main bathroom renovation is still in limbo while we wait for bids. During February and March, I have room in my schedule for a relatively quick and inexpensive project. Last Thursday, I was watching the…

When we first moved to BHH in June of 2014, the amount of work to do was daunting. Crippled by the fact that we had two mortgages at the time, we worried that something significant would happen, and we would not have the money to fix it. I had real nightmares that the stone foundation…

What a luxury to have new cabinets, appliances, and lighting! While those updates were the obvious benefit, the hidden delight was the electrical upgrade. We no longer tripped…

I promised the reveal today, and I almost did not make my deadline. Photography is a nightmare in these teeny tiny spaces. (Note to self: Get rich and hire a professional photographer for all of your projects.) In the beginning, I wasn't sure where I was going with this overhaul. After all, on a smaller scale,…
