It’s done! The final step of the kitchen remodel was completed yesterday when Kirk hung the open shelves. We started our remodel journey in January and it has been a long process — but it was so worth it! I am over the moon excited about how it all turned out. Kirk kinda likes it … Read More
Father’s Day Fun(?)
Some serious, heavy duty, physical, labor took place at The Cottage this weekend. Friday was flooring delivery day and we had to get several sheets of particle board ripped up before delivery. We opted to DIY the floor demo to save us a chunk of change. With the linoleum backing paper covering the particle board … Read More
Phase I Complete
Baby Girl hosted a girls night at TheCottage Friday night. Mr. D and I agreed to leave for a few hours so the girls could have TheCottage to themselves. So…. Friday we woke up with a LOT of work to do! 1. Queen bed had to be dismantled, moved and set back up. 2. Two … Read More
Bride weekend!
All day Friday was spent getting TheCottage cleaned, baking, cooking, putting away paint cans and tools and putting 3 bedrooms back together.

Floor one done.
Back in this post we had just pulled up carpet and Mr. D was ready to get busy installing the new flooring. Before he jumped in laying flooring, he had a little prep work to do. This oscillating tool is awesome for undercutting the trim. Nothing like having the right tool for the job! Mr. D … Read More

Slowly moving forward
Mr. D and I are no strangers or newbies to home remodel/renovations. We have given more than a few rooms new looks in 30+ years of marriage including a two-story addition on our first home that had a family room, two bathrooms and a master bedroom. However, in all those makeovers, we’ve never done a … Read More
Meanwhile back at TheCottage…
The day after we returned home from Cincy, Mr. D and I have been doin’ work at TheCottage. While we were gone the awful popcorn ceiling was removed and a new knockdown ceiling put it its place. Such an improvement! We opted to save some change and paint the new ceiling ourselves. It seemed like … Read More
