renovation update!

It’s been like, eons, since I’ve posted a renovation update. Between moving and nesting and celebrating, I’ve been lax with taking photos and documenting our progress. So, in an effort to keep you informed, I’ve created a little page of all of the progress we’ve made since we started. There are quite a few holes
