Oh I love it when things work out like this. Bad news, the plans for our new house had a column at the end of our kitchen peninsula that would have made the breakfast room seemed closed off from the rest of the kitchen and living room. Insert sad face here. 🙁 Good news, my builder, Ridgewater […]
What Camera Should I Buy?
I recently received a message from my sweet friend Betsy asking me to recommend a camera for her. She’s a blogger and is wanting to step up from a point and shoot camera. Since I thought some of you might be in the same boat, I’m posting my response to her here. (This is not […]
New House Update – Sheetrock City
