You're not going to believe the redo on this pontoon, but first, and because my post wouldn't be complete without an embarrassing story, I must regress for a minute. Not my finest moment but certainly entertaining for any unsuspecting bystanders. And because B is always working on a project, this time a 29 year old pontoon boat just waiting to … [Read more...]
Resort Update: Painting…everything!
Twin Cedars Red should be the name of a real paint color. I'm not actually sure if this color has a name but it is so prominent here that I'm seriously thinking of sending in a suggestion somewhere. Resort Painting Projects are endless and painting has certainly been no exception - I think I've heard B say on several occasions, "I just want to be … [Read more...]

My moving realities have shuffled through most of the phases and come back around. I don't doubt they will continue to rotate, playing games with my emotions. Getting settled isn't that easy... I'm not sure that anyone has noticed I haven't written a post in quite awhile - the thing I've learned about putting my thoughts out there is that I must … [Read more...]

Ducklings, Hatchlings and How to Keep the Geese Out
I've actually never been a big fan of springtime in Northern Michigan. Oh my gosh! I know...but with all of the new arrivals around here I just can't help but fall in love with this season. It might sound crazy to those that live elsewhere, but for me, "spring" usually means MUD! With so many dirt roads, I've lived on one since I was 12, it's … [Read more...]
Moving on U.P. part 3
Wow! So this is the final post in the Moving on U.P. series. To get caught up check out part 1 and part 2. Whirlwind couldn't possibly describe what's been going on around here. We are all moved up as of last weekend...which was resort opening weekend too. I wonder if you could actually see my head spinning? I'd like to say we all made it … [Read more...]

Moving on U.P. part 2
Another gorgeous weekend, another haul and another bruise? B has been "at work" most of the week (that's what we call it when he's busy at the resort...but you know how the story goes...you never work a day in your life if you love what you're doing). I have to admit that my best advise for spring cleaning is to move. Freeing ourselves … [Read more...]
Moving on U.P. part 1
Before all of the chaos, before all of the tourists, before the boats are even in the water... A little deviation from my usual DIY projects and renovation stories today. Things have been a little hectic around here with helping B's parents move out of the resort house so we can put our roots down. We are getting closer to opening day at The … [Read more...]
Master Bathroom Renovation: Best Dos and Don’ts
We actually found the original blue prints to this home while finishing the basement. It was interesting to see some of the changes the builders made along the way and the different direction we went on certain projects too. This master bathroom is a major accomplishment!
