Tour Our Light and Peaceful Home

It’s been quite a bit of work but we did it. We’ve taken dark and dreary house and gave it a complete make-over. Welcome to our light and peaceful home.

Of course we wanted to completely remodel and update the bathrooms, but because we’re not even sure of the outcome of the house, toilets and sinks were enough, for now.

Now that we’ve moved the dining room into the sunroom, what will we do with the space? The answer is easy. Leave it empty. But first it has to be cleaned and that entailed many days on our hands and knees until we finally had a dear friend loan us one of these… If only...

Our Kitchen Remodel Project at Tres Bohemes

The first place we had to conquer was the kitchen. One just cannot live in a house where one cannot prepare food, especially if one loves to cook as much as we do!

Our Dining Room Remodel from Clutter to Zen

We inherited a house. Well, kind of. It’s still working it’s way into whatever it is supposed to be. But that doesn’t stop us from making it what we want it to be right now. Grow where you’re planted right? In other words, make wherever you are now be as close to the dream as you...
