I figured it’s been nearly 3 weeks since I updated everyone as to the current status of the office remodel. After I finished remodeling two weeks ago, I re-finished my desktop. It was a hot mess from years of neglect. Considering that my step-father built it for me, and he’s now been gone for two [...]

Office Remodel Done! Now Where’s My Beer?
I had set myself the task of finishing the office remodel by midnight on Friday and what a squeaker it was because I wrapped it up last night at 11:50pm. Here’s a quick snapshot of me enjoying a celebratory Black IPA brewed by myself and my husband a few weeks ago in the room. More [...]

Craft Room Remodeling (What Makes a Great Craft Room?)
Very recently, Mr. NexStitch and I finished a bedroom remodel that spanned several months (we got hung up on a stain color for the trim and doors). It was an uphill battle, but being the first room in our home to be remodeled - other than my husband’s basement recording studio – it provided the “blueprint” [...]
