Take a tour of all the home renovations projects we’ve done on our fixer-upper,
our 1940’s New England Colonial home.

If we’ve learned anything in the last few years, it’s that we’re not afraid of getting our hands dirty.

We are doing projects at a quick pace, so I usually have trouble keeping up to date with everything that is going on around here! Just send me an email if you want an update on something that I happen to be ignoring : p
