weekend projects.

We love them. It is that feeling of doing something productive while being able to bond and have quality time together as well. Since before we were married we fantasized about owning a home and having a little project for each weekend. You know, you spend money but it is more of an investment sort of thing.

I absolutely love our house. It has always just felt right. However, there are definitely things I could change. It is amazing how a house of only 8 years can have such "out dated" features. Wooden medicine cabinets are definitely not the 'in thing' right now.
