This week we are starting our first project of 2016. When we moved into Blake Hill House, Andy and I agreed that we should get the kids' rooms done as soon as possible.

I was not going to do one of these posts. I was going to ease my type B self into January 2016 with nary a word about to-do lists, accomplishments and anything else of the sort. Then, I decided to take a peek at the past year on the blog. It was quite a rabbit…
