You’ve all seen our big comfy couch, yes? And we’ve mentioned that it has a double pull out bed in it too, yes? Which makes it QUITE HEAVY. Well, can you imagine it being carried into the house (in two pieces) by two guys, around corners and all? Now picture the ceiling light fixture inside [...]

I do know we happily worked with The Home Depot, opting to install everything ourselves with the help [...]
I’m THRILLED that I can finally let the proverbial cat out of the bag! Are you ready? Here it is… I (Shannon) am a new Contributor to Kate’s uber popular blog, Centsational Girl! {Insert squeal here! … Sorry – that’s totally unprofessional! … Composure regained! … Moving on.} I have read Kate’s blog for AGES.
