Bedroom Revamp
Sometimes you don’t have to completely redecorate a room for it to feel fresh and clean again. It can be enough to simply clean things out, get rid of clutter and freshen up. I was starting to feel pretty frustrated with our bedroom because it just started to seem kinda, well, gross. It wasn’t a…

Redone Entryway and Landing Pad
Our apartment is blessed with a pretty decent entry space. There’s room to hang coats, take off shoes and drop your stuff when you come in. For the past year, however, it’s mostly been a parking lot for our bikes. While it was nice to have our bikes in a place where we knew they…
