After 1 year, although it seems like more, my husband and I decided to continue the laundry room makeover. I’m telling you, things move slow at my house. My husband wasn’t too thrilled that I’m back on the “I want to make changes to the house” train, but he still helped, reluctantly of course. 😀 … Continue reading Laundry Room Update
Hello and welcome to Mrs. Lady Renaissance. I've decided to create a "home tour" category in order to make it easier for me to update any changes.

I instantly felt a ton of weight released into … Continue reading Home: Phase 2 – The conquest, the rebuilding, the exhaustion of the kitchen.
My husband and I purchased our home a little more than a year ago. We purchased it in dire conditions.

Unbelievably, there was … Continue reading Before: Our home, phase 1: The teardown. . .arrrrggggg
