A year ago I was thoroughly immersed in labor-intensive DIY home improvement at a tiny house we had just purchased for a son to rent. I never did get a chance to properly chronicle the improvements since we were so pressed for time. Someday! Today we are once again up to our ears in man glitter (that’s sawdust, kittycats), and the headaches are REAL. Hello Lovely Early Spring Decor Posts You May Have Missed recaps stories to soothe and keep us inspired!

Thank you so much for including the Patina Farm video here. I saw the Living Room video but had missed this one. She is crazy talented! Love your Cinco de Mayo humor too! Happy Taco Tuesday!

Happy Taco Tuesday to you, Celia. I am loving Brooke’s tours and think it is such a gift that she has some extra time at home to share their creation in this way. Maybe I’ll be able to follow suit, but that would mean doing my hair…:)
Always love your inspirational quotes but the humorous ones in his post really made me LOL! 😂Funny that you’d post Brooke’s videos today, because I happened to view all three (Kitchen, LR, & master) this morning before I even had a chance to read your post. What I enjoyed so much about them is seeing angles and areas of her home that you can’t normally see from just pictures posted & to hear from her about each room. And that final video with the toilet paper…how do people come up with such??!! But it is pretty amazing…loved how he incorporated the typical dominos falling in the middle of it! Petty intelligent mind to come up with that I’d say…and a lot of patience too I’m sure! Ha!

Yes! I am so thrilled Brooke is sharing these tours so we can better see the floorplan, scale, and relationships between rooms. Thanks so much for reading, Amy. Hope you are doing well and hanging in there. xox
