The wonderful family that is buying our house and patiently waiting for us to finish our new house, has adorable twin girls. Their mother had been dreaming of a bunk bed for their new bedroom and asked if we would be willing to design and build them one. How could I say no?
For the past few weeks, we have been working on a project for the soon to be owner of our current farmhouse. They have twin girls that will be sharing a room upstairs where our daughter’s room currently is. The project was built in bunk beds for these sweet girls. Of course we are always up for a project and we knew this would be a fun one and one that would make the room super special. This room will be a place where many memories will be made while they bunk together for the next several years as they grow up.
When you can’t find it, you just DIY it, right? As I was slowly decorating and adding in my fall decor, I knew I wanted to add in a few fall pictures. As I was searching all my go to places and even online, I just couldn’t find any fall art that I absolutely loved. If I did find one, it was out of stock or too expensive. So, I decided to DIY my own fall art. You know this has to be easy if I’m doing it because I’m not a very crafty person.
As most of you know, in just a few short months our family will be leaving our current house and moving into the one we’re currently building. We never really put it up for sale, but we ended up getting a contract on it just a few weeks before we started our new build. It was truly God’s plan the way it worked out and we have become wonderful friends with the soon to be new owners.
Last year we decided to build a fire pit behind the house. We had originally planned on building a simple stone fire pit. After some discussion, we decided to build a modern one made of concrete. We thought it would be a nice contrast with the brick retaining wall along with the other elements we would add around the fire pit.
