Today is the day.
I’ve been dreading posting this because it feels a little daunting if I’m being honest, but I can’t hide from it any longer! I’m actually doing my best to switch my way of thinking into this being a positive. I can now make this place feel more ours, more home, and post about it along the way!

When I first started this blog it was called “Taking Steps Home” and its as a space where I shared A LOT of little house projects I was taking on to make my old home (where my brother & his wife are!) a space that felt like me. I am hoping to get back to those roots here and there and share all the good, hard, ugly, fun sides that come with updating a home!

This list is pretty fluid.
I expect us to add things on / take things off as time and finances ebb and flow. I’ve already found myself adjusting the list a few times since writing it down!

*PS – most of the images here are from the listing before we bought the home or right after the guy moved out and it was empty. YIKES.
