By this time next week, I might have some photos with noticeable changes to share--a substantial update if it all comes together. However, this week, we are still celebrating a couple of victories.

Before I offer an update on the guest bath, I want to say, wow! You all really blew off the roof with your interest in our future here at BHH. All of the traffic exploded the blog for about 24 hours. Hopefully, the changes I made to the back end will help with the speed…

It's week FIVE of the One Room Challenge. Week five is usually when the following thought hits me: I need a staff. My enthusiasm is waning; The work is not. Even so, I think I'm ok? That question mark ending is not a typo. This week has just been pure physical labor without a pretty little…
