Creating Space & Life

    A few years back we were thinking about moving.   We were looking for a bigger house with some property.  After looking for almost a year in this crazy housing market we decided we would just create our dream home in our current space.  It was a great decision and we learned a lot!  My next couple blogs will be about how I decided to Create My Space. I wasn't just remolding for me, it was for my husband, for our future, and to make a place that was ours.   We may have been doing it for the dog too, he seems to love it! We updated our living room, kitchen and bath.  Some of this we hired out and some we did ourselves.    The first step was figuring out the color scheme.  I was painting the living room, kitchen, hallways and down to our finished basement. Pinterest was my by best friend in doing this.  I looked up the color schemes I liked and saved them to my remodel Pin.  Once I narrowed down the color scheme I was going with, I went and bought samples of those colors.  This ne

Hello!  Well here goes nothing!  If you are reading this you might be wondering what I'm going to blog about.

Lol), and treating my dog as a second child because of empty nest syndrome.    That is Barkley! Okay, back to the blog.  I have been debating what to write about. I was about a half hour into the research before it  became overwhelming.  The first recommendation is to write about your passion.  What ever your passion is just write about it, post pictures, share quotes.  Don’t write about what other people have written about, so many blogs have been over done.  Start a new and interesting one about your passion…..  This got me thinking….  What is my passion??  To figure out what my p
