    Kitchen Renovation: Not for the faint of heart

    ByMandy DiVita October 19, 2018May 10, 2026

    So, this is the picture on the listing for our new house that drew us in… the 1970’s kitchen we had always dreamt of…. kidding… definetly kidding… sledge hammer was all that came to mind… or lighting a match which in hindsight might have been the better option… I’m sure you’ll agree in just a…

    Master Bedroom Made New!

    ByMandy DiVita April 24, 2018May 10, 2026

    The master bedroom was one of those rooms that caused us excessive use of the tape measure and pencil to paper and I might have even knocked my head in to a 2×4 a few times {on purpose}!  We had an extremely steep & dangerous basement staircase that was located off the kitchen and it…

    Mudrooms are for Mud and Poop!

    ByMandy DiVita April 10, 2018May 10, 2026

    Yep, you heard me right, “Mudrooms are for mud and poop”…  literal poop and all the other stuff I deem as “crap” such as the piles of shoes that apparently aren’t so easy to put on the shelves when people take them off…, jackets that are too difficult to actually hang up, the dirty towels…

    Finally a Walk in Pantry

    ByMandy DiVita March 20, 2018May 10, 2026

    “Homestead Sweet Homestead” part 4 I’ve never had a walk-in pantry nor anything beyond bi-fold doors for a laundry “closet”.  First.world.problem. I know!  I remember when we first looked at this house.  We did NOT experience the “WOW” factor by a.n.y. stretch of the imagination… BUT… I was in love with the fact that it…

    Ugly to Unbelievable Master Bath

    ByMandy DiVita March 6, 2018May 10, 2026

    I can’t pick a favorite, {room that is..or child {that can change by the minute}}) but I can say that besides my #1 pick {the kitchen of course}, our new Master Bath is near the top of the list on our home makeover! Cramped, tiny, dungy, ugly, nasty 70’s to bright, airy, unbelievable, farmhouse delightful! I’m…

    Flushing the 1970 Bathroom Away

    ByMandy DiVita February 28, 2018May 10, 2026

    I mean, there is nothing wrong with an avocado green toilet, shower and sink… if that’s what you think is groovy… me?  Not so much!  Good bye! We had to work with the same footprint.  No addition for the kids.  Poor kids.  Suffer. {always fun to see what layers of flooring show up as you…
