I don't think it's any big secret here on this blog that it's my husband and my dream to someday own our own little farmstead. We've been on the hunt for the last 3 years to try to find it, but still haven't come across "the one" quite yet.

Basement Rec Room Changes
I can't remember in the 3 years I've been blogging, if I've ever mentioned that we have a basement rec room in our home. I know for certain I've never photographed it or featured it in a post, because if I'm being completely honest with you all -- this level of our home typically looks like it was hit by an Armageddon-sized toy bomb. It's … [Read more...]
