This week, I am going to talk about the kitchen again, specifically about Lowe's kitchen design. We were snowed in on Tuesday. We got so much snow that even Andy took the day off. With him home all day, I was able to spend most of the day in M's room finishing up the prep work.…

We are still in the midst of M's room renovation, but can we talk about the kitchen instead? When I sat down to write this week's post about the bedroom renovation, I realized that there really is no news. Our optimistic deadline of having the room painted last weekend has come and gone. We are…

Week one in M.'s bedroom started with a little planning hiccup. If you are just joining us, you can read about the bedroom renovation plan here. Last weekend we intended to rent a wallpaper steamer which had always been available locally on a walk-in basis. I guess we were just lucky the last few times…
