I love my home. It may not be super fancy, elaborate or have much character (yet) but it’s the first home I’ve owned and my son and I have lived in it for more than six years now. I’m the type of person who has a lot of sentimental attachment to a house, so I have many great memories associated with this home already.

However, in the six years we’ve been here I haven’t done too much with it. Sure, I’ve painted a few rooms and bought some furniture. But I haven’t really decorated or customized it to fit my family’s needs. This is ironic considering I have many plans for updates I want to do, but I’ve never taken the time to actually do very many of them.

That’s where this blog comes in. Each quarter I plan to tackle a different area of my home and work on completely customizing it for us, while staying within a reasonable budget and DIYing as much as I can. Some areas of the home may need to be done in phases, and that’s okay.

So stay tuned for my next post to find out the first space I plan to take on!
