Never Give up on That Home Remodeling Project You Desire

About Me

Once my husband and I moved out of our "starter home" and into a new one, we absolutely loved our new home. We wanted to spend the rest of our lives in it due to the location close to our families. However, over the years, we realized that we were growing tired of it more quickly than we expected.

We greatly enjoyed the remodeling process as well, and we want to share what we learned with others on our new blog!
