Our MCM (the Prairie house as we call it), was our dream house. We even considered getting the blueprints from the original owner’s son so we could re-build it when we moved. (But with our mobile lifestyle, there wouldn’t be enough time for that!) The Story To recap our MCM story: we purchased it for […]

Affordable bathroom reno (the after)
Waaay back in week 3 of the fall 2018 One Room Challenge we were making over our bathroom. I had a post written about our progress, but before I could publish it, we got big news: we were moving across the country again. There was no time to hit publish. There was no time for […]
We have a wall! And a 1.5 bath house.
We got the dividing wall up in the bathroom, and our house officially went from a 1.1 bath to a 1.5 bath. It’s week two of the One Room Challenge! The shower had pretty cute mother of pearl plastic tiles on the two walls. But the bottoms of the walls were rotten underneath, so they […]
The World’s Weirdest Bathroom

Powder Room Demolition
Not really demolition…I just removed the counter’s muffin top and backsplash, took down the light and mirror, the floor’s backsplash and mudded the walls to get ready for painting. It’s week two of the $100 room makeover challenge! On day one of the challenge last week, I spent over half my $100 budget. On Sunday, […]
Powder Room Makeover Coming
Our master bedroom has a powder room. A sad, sad little powder room. It’s actually possibly one of the weirdest powder rooms ever designed…but more on that next month when we remodel the main bathroom. As with the rest of the house, it hasn’t really been updated since it was built in 1961. We would […]
