The Primary: How big is your bedroom?  Are you lucky enough to have a decent sized space?  Although I did consider myself lucky to have a wonderful primary bedroom before the addition, with lots of windows and a decent size 1940’s closet…I wanted this new bedroom to be big!  Did I need all that space?  No.  Did it have to be huge?  No.  I wanted it to FEEL big though.  Mission accomplished.  The bedroom is not huge, but it’s not small either.  It’s roomy!  The other bedrooms

The Baby Bathroom. The Mini Of The Wonderful New Primary Bath. Hello Baby! I think that if our original 1940's bathroom and our new spectacular 2020 primary bathroom had a baby, this would be it! Do you have a retro bathroom ready for an upgrade? If so, you can do it! So, once a lot of the bigger stuff was getting closer to being finalized in our reno world...I started researching redoing the original bathroom. Although I loved that original green tile and thought it was

I've been dreaming about creating these two sites for about 5 years. The Home Obsessed idea came to me during the pandemic, while the addition was being completed, and I literally had projects out the ying yang, I needed something to calm my brain. Seriously, I think I must have gone to Ikea and Home Depot 5 times a week for like 6 months!

One of my favorite parts of the Addition was getting a second bathroom!! And oh, what a bathroom it is. I cannot tell you how happy a second toilet makes me, LOL, even if I have to now clean two of them, instead of one. I wanted the bathroom along the back of the addition, because I knew we got the best sunlight back there in the mornings. At first, I didn't think we were going to be able to make it fit this way. Mick made the floor plan work with suggesting the closet o

My House Anniversary is hand written on my calendar every year. And each year, I transfer it over to the next year's calendar. What's your House Anniversary? Mine is November 29, 2007! Today is 18 years ago that I closed on this house and it was an absolute dream come true!! Mick moved in a bit later, in 2014! I used to live in a totally different area of town about thirty minutes away and dreamed of living in this neighborhood for ages. Before getting this house, I firs

Ahhh The Addition…..Talk about a labor of LOVE.  We planned everything. We had a budget, literally down to how many nails we would use. We drew the floor plan over and over and over...until, it was perfection! We got a beautiful new Primary Bedroom, Bathroom and an Amazing Closet!!! We also got a super cool Mudroom! All tied up in a 25' by 25' square. We originally set out to do everything ourselves. Well that became a little overwhelming and we ended up hiring someon

FLASHBACK TO 2021 Video From 2021 At The Bottom My all time favorite DIY in my life is definitely my Ikea Pax Closet! I designed this layout myself using the Ikea Pax Planner (which they changed the format to completely in the middle of my planning, so I had to start over - le sigh)....but then, I did it and I built it all by myself! If you've been thinking about updating your closet, you can do it!! I got tons of inspiration online from other peoples Ikea Pax closet journe
