    Big Style in a Small Space: Our Cabin Bathroom Wallpaper Makeover

    ByMary Crozier August 12, 2025August 13, 2025

    Remember those wallpaper rolls I shared a peek of a few weeks ago? Well, it’s time to reveal where they ended up! Our tiny cabin bathroom — once drenched in a bold, deep red — has traded drama for calm with a fresh neutral-and-sage pattern. The difference is night and day, and I can’t wait…

    Exterior Revivals: Before and After of Home Facelifts

    ByMary Crozier May 13, 2024May 14, 2024

    Who doesn’t love a good Before and After photo, especially when it comes to homes. For nearly 10 years, I found my passion in restoring and remodeling homes in our neighborhood.

    ByMary Crozier April 23, 2024April 23, 2024

    When my eldest daughter heads off to college, it is a good opportunity to update her room with a more sophisticated look.  It is painted a pretty green and has all the makings of a young teenage girl’s room.
