I know I’ve been promising house updates and before and after pics for several months, but now that my first flower farming season is finally starting to wind down, I’m able to focus a bit on the house again and actually follow through on that promise. The majority of our big house updates that we …
Back in January, I did a post on seven of the house and yard projects we wanted to try and tackle this year. Now that we’re over halfway through 2019, I figured it’s time for an update! (Plus I’ll give you a mini update on a room that I HADN’T anticipated on changing!) I’ve copied …
