When I wrote about building our home, I mentioned we were finishing the closets ourselves. The reason for this was to save some money and to make a better organized space. We didn’t want the standard builder shelf and rod, but we also didn’t want to pay thousands for a custom closet system. Believe it Read More

I’m a little late on the blog this week. As you can imagine we’ve been busy getting moved and settled. In any case our home build is complete, and we started moving in one week ago today. Our occupancy was 108 days from when the builder started digging. The original schedule was 120 days and Read More

However, this week our home build seemed to get exciting again! The cabinetry, flooring, trim, and doors all started to get installed. We both love how the kitchen turned out. The garage Read More
