October 4, 2018 by 12 Comments
The day is finally here! The kitchen makeover/refresh/whatever you wanna call it – is D-O-N-E!

Hi there! I’m Liz, a former teacher-turned-stay-at-home mom to three kids, with a passion to create a warm and inviting home on a budget. This blog all started when I’d put the babies down for a nap, and squeeze in a project during those precious couple of hours!
