Everything for your Home

In 2016, we bought our first home and as the realtor said, “it’s a cozy fixer-upper“. The previous owner rented the house for about 15 years, so there were old ‘renter quality’ appliances, no A/C, a 70-year-old furnace, deferred maintenance and Duct Tape holding the broken front door together (seriously).

In short, our house was a blank slate needing cosmetic improvements to transform into a beautiful home.

As I continuously improve my home, I’ll show you simple home maintenance tasks, DIY home projects, and also share some gardening tips along the way.

I’m NOT AN EXPERT – so let’s do this, share a few mistakes and learn something together.
