I’ve fallen behind on writing. I’m incapable of keeping multiple balls in the air, so when something takes priority, former priorities fall to the floor. I chalk it up to my ADD mentality where I hyper-focus and fall behind. I have to admit though, my latest adventure that has distracted me from writing is a big, fun, and consuming distraction.

If you look at my Pinterest board, you’ll see hundreds of pins related to home remodeling projects. I have spent hours researching and planning. As of October, we officially began a journey I thought we’d never take. We’re remodeling the kitchen, upstairs living room, dining room, the girls’ bathroom (with inside laundry closet), and replacing the flooring on our carpeted stairs. It’s a dream come true, and I am beyond grateful to God for allowing this to happen!

My home is a modest sized late 70’s ranch-style home. From the front, it looks like every other typical brick rambler in middle Tennessee. But what I adore about my home is location, the lot, and the fully-finished walk-out basement, which is a rare find in the city where I live. I’m a mid-Western girl, so to have a basement family room was always my vision. When we bought this house 7 years ago, I knew we’d eventually want to make improvements to this house, but just living here was a huge blessing. Starting in a few short weeks, our home will undergo a facelift.

Along the way, I’ll be sharing pictures of this journey. I’m not great at habitually documenting details with pictures, but I’ll do my best. God willing, by early summer, we’ll be done! Here are some current photos of our home.
