How we are finishing the basement on a budget

January 23, 2019 by Kim Woodward

The beginning of the new year is a great time to plan projects for your home. One project on our list is to finally finish up the basement. We started finishing the basement with the main family room in 2017. It was a great way to give our family more usable space. You may remember […]

A family Christmas tree with a handmade touch

December 7, 2017 by Kim Woodward

Is your home ready for the holidays?

There’s truly no place I’d rather be than home.

And that also includes the store. Which is why I’ve done almost all our holiday shopping this year from the comfort of my computer. In my pajamas.

We are living in the future.

November 7, 2017 by Kim Woodward

installing DIY shiplap walls and farmhouse trim from wood flooring

Yes. We are STILL working on the basement and the DIY shiplap walls. (We started the basement project back in June.)

This is real life DIY. And real life DIY comes with pregnancy and bed rest (me) and 5 broken ribs (Ryan). That means that finishing the basement has taken about 3 months longer than we anticipated.

Installing wood flooring on walls

August 15, 2017 by Kim Woodward

Unfortunately, real life home projects don’t always progress like those you see on t.v. Or, at least, home projects at the Woodwards’ aren’t made for television. (Seriously – how do they finish projects so fast? Oh right. Paid professionals and lots of money.) So while we’ve been making slow and steady progress on the basement […]
