Feeling the Love: We're Featured!

Only a few short hours after we posted our striped office makeover yesterday, I had an email in my inbox from the one and only Cassity with the blog Remodelaholic.



Cassity has an amazing blog where she features all kinds of fun projects from home decor to home renovations to DIY projects, and, apparently.... Ten June office makeovers!! That's right- Cassity is featuring us on her amazing blog today! I have been reading Remodelaholic for awhile and I've always been incredibly impressed and inspired by all of the fun projects that Cassity features. Needless to say, there was some high-fiving and happy dancing at our house last night- we're pretty excited to have our little office featured! And for those of you who are wondering... OF COURSE David has rubbed it in my face that his first blog post ever gets featured! Men.... :)

Everyone go check out Remodelaholic today (and every day- it's a great read)!! And thanks again, Cassity!

What do you get when you tear out this old rotting wood fence...

this dilapidated playset....

and this old-school bathroom?

 The answer?

A really big pile of junk in our backyard and a really, really big mess for me and the hubs to clean up.

Now that we've finished our master bathroom demolition, it's time to get all of this junk over to the landfill. So we ordered a gigantic dumpster to help us with that task. Here she is after about 6+ hours of hauling the junk from our backyard to the dumpster (which, by the way, is in our driveway... I'm sure our neighbors love that!).

I have never loathed a dumpster so much in my life. But check out our progress! The dumpster is pretty full after just one day's worth of work for two people! And I have to admit that I'm a little excited that we no longer have gigantic piles of wood/tile/concrete/other construction debris in our backyard. The bad part? We've only got until Thursday to fill this sucker up to the brim.

My. Arms. Are. Jello. Whose idea was it to do this renovation stuff, anyways?!! Ahem, sooo maybe I begged and pleaded to start the renovations but I envisioned tiling and vanities, not dumpsters!! I guess we'll get to that sooner than later. Oh well, have a blessed Sunday, everyone!
