Welcome to my blog! I am Melissa and my husband and I have been married since October 10, 2009. We bought our "forever home" in October of 2008 and we love our old 100 year old home and all of the charm it offers. We are passionate about DYI projects and we've got a few under our belts with this house so far. With the start of the new year we are excited to extend our family:) Stop by from time to time to watch us grow:)

We're getting so close:)




Wall tile is almost complete and it's all down hill from here:) A little sanding and some painting and we will be in business:) I cannot tell you how tired I am of wearing flip flops and showering in our freezing cold basement!! The moment I get to take a bath in my amazing soaking tub, I am going to be a happy girl again. This holiday season has been something else this year. We're so focused on this bathroom project that we've purchased gifts and they just sit in the spare bedroom still in the bags. Would it be bad if I would just gift them in the bags from the store? I mean like the Target, Kohls, and JCPenneys bags? haha I don't think my family would mind....would they??

Anywho, wanted to give an update of the bathroom today and show off the progress:)
