The kitchen floor overhaul I've been anticipating since the day I moved into the house finally got underway last week. The pergo flooring never quite matched the hardwoods that flowed …
Clearly, I'm one of those people who enjoys making more work for herself. But the flooring in the kitchen is one of those places where I'm letting my normal full-destruct …
Girl Scout's honor, we found a diamond ring beneath the kitchen floor when I removed it this weekend. Before I even get into the demo-fun that ensued in the process, …

I geeked out with excitement a little bit this week when I finally tackled the atrocious tupperware storage situation in the kitchen (the scene I explained in my January To-Do List). I know …
