Easy DIY Headboard
Ryan and I have been hard at work today making this super easy headboard. It takes a lot of time, but anyone can do it! We had most of the supplies we needed, so we only ended up spending about $35 (for 1″ foam and fabric). First we traced out the pattern we wanted

Town Cleanup Day
We have been working hard today to get the siding off of the house. Our local dump is having a Town Cleanup Day where you can drop anything off for free. So, the siding has got to go! We are only taking off the outermost layer so that we have a smooth place to put

Bathroom Update
We recently finished the built-in shelving unit in our bathroom. As I was preparing to write a post, I noticed that I haven’t done a bathroom update in months! We are all settled in now and only need trim, which will be coming along soon. I will write a separate update about the shelving

Mice, Mold, and Mildew
It’s hard to imagine the pantry as a place to store food after the nasty things we discovered today. We gutted the walls down to the studs, which was definitely the most disgusting job we have done so far. The window must have had some leaking issues, as well as the roof, so we had

Landscaping
Even though our neighbors still have snow in their lawn, ours is gone (for now at least)! That means we can finally start tackling some of our outdoor projects. We are saving up funds for siding and roofing right now, so our other projects will be rather minimal. However, today I learned that a little

Easy DIY Chicken Brooder
We ordered 25 cornish cross chickens to raise for meat. Since we haven’t done much work on the upstairs yet, we built a brooder we could use in the house and then move outdoors later. We made the brooder almost completely from scraps, but it would be cheap and easy to buy the

Snowboard Storage
Since the snow is finally melting, I think it is officially time to put the snowboards and winter gear away. We have always had an issue storing snowboards. They end up in the garage, up in the rafters so they don’t get bumped. Thankfully, we now have a good space in the house to store

Kitchen Command Center
I have been seeing a lot of blog posts and pins on Pinterest about “Command Centers.” Basically, they are a catch-all for that mail and junk that would normally be sitting on the counter. We definitely have an issue with the counter mess so it seems like this might be a good idea… We have
