Best. Week.

It has been an AMAZING past week.  I mean seriously.  We have gotten SO much done that it is unbelievable.  And we actually did some of the work ourselves!  The big stuff (kitchen cabinets) we can’t take credit for, but we can take credit for tying up a lot of loose ends and making this place look phenomenal (just one … More Best.
