Things are moving right along in M.'s bedroom. Andy and the kids removed the wallpaper over the weekend. I did not help at all. I am becoming adept at wandering around with a broom and "looking busy" so I do not have to run the steamer or scrape the walls. It is not that I…

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.

(Teen Bedroom Day 1, Teen Bedroom Day 2) Andy and I took about a week off from working on the teen's room. During the second day that we worked on the bedroom, we created the Frankenwall. What followed was several days of very wet weather. It felt like it would never stop raining. Due to the…
