Hello hello! Welcome to the One Room Challenge Guest Participant Reveal Day! If you are new here and haven't been following along, you can start here and then scroll through each week to see my progress.

You Guys! It's week 5 already! First and foremost I would like to dedicate this post to my Abuela, who would have turned 90 today. Missing her today and everyday since her passing in February.

It's turning out to be quite the project to get ... [Read More]

  Welcome to week 2 of the One Room Challenge Guest Participant post. If you missed week one and my plans for the kitchen, please click here. A huge thank you to my dad who came over to help and to teach me to tile. You see, my dad is a master do it yourselfer. Yes, before it was cool to DIY, my dad has been doing it forever. I can't recall a time I ever saw a handy man (other than maybe a plumber) at our house. My dad did it all. Mechanic work too! So some of the backsplash got ... [Read More]
