So, funny story about the house below. We bought it and we’re moving in.

It’s harder than I thought and I’ve had moments of being overwhelmed, mostly when standing in the middle of one of the stores surrounded by 1,000’s of possibilities. When this happens. I try to remain focused by thinking about the main ele...

So after yesterday's dramatic fail, I thought maybe I'd post about something that just involves moving already created stuff around the house, so that I could only screw it up by making it look ugly.
