I can’t believe the before and after day has finally come. It has been quite the journey (around 10 months to be exact) but we have completed the Lady Laurier project and are thrilled, to say the least!!! This was our biggest undertaking yet and though it seemed to drag for a bit (permits take
I’m sure most people visiting this blog would be familiar with the One Room Challenge, but just in case, here’s a quick recap.
