To say I have been busy busy is an understatement. You would think we would have a custom built mansion. Alas, that is not the case. So what have you been slaving over Ms Belle? Grab your cup, follow me around and I'll show you! We have a fridge! Yall. Seriously. After 2 years being…
Stairs Redone
I am so so glad this is finally over! This was supposed to be an easy tear it down and put it back up. Insert big belly laugh. The goal was to simply add a step or two at the top to turn the stairs toward the front of the house instead of continuing straight.…
7 Quick Takes – 6-21-14
#7QT - Up this week: Summer, ice cream cones, refrigerators, box store workers, husband awesomeness, canned ground beef and exciting news for Bou! -1- It's finally officially summer. I think.

Bedroom Phase 2 – Beds
I knew what I wanted. Exactly what I wanted. But I had no idea how to get it. After extensive Pinteresting research, I saw a lot of people using those storage units from Target or Walmart. But at $40 each and needing 4 per bed and it still not being exactly what I was envisioning,…

There I said it. Wow does that make me feel better! Maybe it wouldn't be so bad if I, you know, knew what I was doing. But alas I am a complete novice. I thought for sure it wouldn't be much of an issue. Throw up the sheets, spend a few days mudding, bam, done! …

Writing on the Studs – Verses
I decided to break this into 2 posts because, well... I have no good reason other than I am doing these on my phone and apparently I was killing the picture post with to much data. Um, oops. So here we are. This is the detailed scriptures version of this post that explains more of the…
Drywall – Day 2
Also known as running a marathon while lifting weights. This is how we ended Day 1. Only 2 sheets left on the side walls and the ceiling to do for Day 2. No problem right? First I want to say that I am even more upset with the guy that did the insulation. The second…
