Great! I’m so excited to share!

Awesome! I’ll do my best on those home maintenance posts :)

Hey, Buddy! I’m glad that the imac graphic didn’t go unappreciated. It’s kinda like that one time I called my macbook pro a powerbook.

Woah! That’s so great that you can spend your time between those two places. I hope I have a warm spot to get away to when I’m a granny. Thanks for your comment on Gus, they call what you’re talking about “regression.” I co-taught him with guidance from our tutor last summer, so I think that I could keep up a more relaxed academic agenda over the summer that still allowed for lots of fun and didn’t take him away from all the good habits and learning he’s achieved so far.

Hey Michelle! Your family can tease you all they want, but it’s true. I love picking a formula and sticking with it – it makes everything cohesive and creates unity between spaces in our homes. So glad you like to read the blog! Happy New Year!

Awesome!!!

Hi Stephanie! So glad you found me. My husband is from Brookfield, WI – he was the one who really pushed for us to get a Wisco cabin because he’s always loved Wisconsin. I’ll for sure check out Elise Joy – I agree with you on goals – my goals are meant to be beacons, not static intentions. What I really want to do is strive for my goals, and wherever I land between here and there I’ll be happy knowing that I tried. Happy New Year!

Liz! I felt the same as you when we had bought our house, I couldn’t find inspiration anywhere. For awhile I had worried that we had made a bad decision purchasing an old home. Then I found blogs like doorsixteen.com and I felt inspired. I realized it was possible to have one foot in a modern world while the other foot was smack in the middle of an in an old house. I’m glad I was able to do that for you. That teal is a great color, so glad it worked for you!

Hi Danielle, Thank you, that means a lot! I’m so excited that you’re excited about the basement project. Learning and using Sketchup has helped me so much with my planning skills. If that’s your sort of thing, I would highly recommend playing around with it to see if it could be a good tool for you. I learned how to use the program on youtube :) .

Hey Caroline! I’d like to think I’m part of the “rest of you” when it comes to renovation. Although some folks have blogs that help fund for their projects, I am not one of them (although I’d like to change that slightly in 2020). I do think that we all like that “HGTV reveal moment” when you get to see the final product; howevs, I still like the “This Old House” version where you get to watch the whole thing come together over an entire season. I’d rather be on the TOH end of the scale :) . Thanks for the comment, and Happy New Year!

Haha. I’m not sure if I can cover all the tips and tricks Ellen, but I’d be happy to keep you readers updated on the day-to-day maintenance that comes a long with home ownership. Cheers!

I’m so glad I have something here for you even if we have different design aesthetics. That’s a great compliment. I love Duluth, btw!

Hi Lauren! I am with you. My favorite blogs were always the ones that were talking about it all. Just because that’s something I like, doesn’t mean it’s something that everyone still likes. I’ve definitely felt the shift from quick posts about the process to epic masterpieces about the reveal. As a one person operation, I don’t feel like I can quite keep up. I’d be happy to share more of the general stuff that I have learned/still figuring out about home ownership. Happy New Year!

I often forget that I should post about my family life too. I’d be really thrilled to share some photos and info from our trip – it was so great! Happy New Year!

Steal away! That’s the whole point. I’m glad that what I’ve got going on here can inspire you :)
Yes! I love the idea of the “future plans” being a place for discussion. I’ve learned so much from the comments of other’s blog posts. I would hope that it would have the added benefit of conversation and community.

Yes, the cabin has a basement and it’s a total mess – but it is clean and dry. Can’t wait to share more!

Thanks, Amy! I am so glad that there is something here that makes you want to come back. Have a great 2020!
