For those of you having a hard time picturing the lay-out of the house, I thought it might be helpful to post the architect drawings.
I don’t know if you can tell, but I LOVE home remodels. I love the thought process behind taking something not so great and turning it into something wonderful.

Here a look at the scrapbook where I put my house ideas. It is old and beat up. It’s also primitive. Just pictures torn out of magazines and taped into the book
I put all kinds of ideas in my book- and I am still adding to it.
oops sorry for the sideways pics!

Ok I know it is flickr faves day and I have been bad about doing that lately. I have been bad about just keeping up lately. Hopefully we/I will be back on track real soon. I have been doing most of my blogging with a baby on my lap and it just...
Exciting times around here- check out the new couch!
