Live-ing on the Edge
Range hood test fit
The range hood is sprayed and test fit around the off-centred beam. Now to take it down, clear-coat it, and install the backsplash.
O Christmas Tree!
Our first Christmas in the house means our first Christmas tree cut down from the back glade. This 14 footer had some trouble getting through the front door, but looked just right once inside.
This means war!
Fun game: when you’re waiting for your paint to be mixed grab some paint chips and play war! Darkest shade wins the round.
