    Go Green, Save Green!

    Happy Earth Day! I’m proud to say that this year Ryan and I have made a lot of changes to decease our environmental impact.

    Fireplace Before and After

      When we bought this house, our favorite thing about it was the fireplace mantel that had seen better days.  We started out by giving removing the mantel and stripping the many layers of paint off. Then we stained it to match the other furniture and wood floors in our house. But the most notable…
