And then I had to keep my cool all morning while we waited to see it. Guys, I am excited about this one! Crossing my fingers I’ll have more to share next week.
Read MoreRemember our laundry room? That one we’ve been working on at a snails pace? Well it finally has a functioning washer and dryer (!!!), and we’ve made some other progress too. So today I’m sharing our design plan, a construction update, and all that good stuff. Despite our slow pace, I’m really happy with the decisions we’ve made.
