Hello everyone. Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Russ and I have been dreaming of starting a blog like this for a while now. For the last 25 years I have been putting my own stamp (and my wife’s of course) on the homes I have owned. I have done everything from small decorative changes to large scale renovations. I haven’t done it all myself, I have left certain very important parts to the professionals, but I have gained a lot of knowledge on the entire process that I am ready to share! If you have recently purchased a house, or are thinking about it, this blog will hopefully help you on your journey to make your house into a home.
However, this blog won’t just be about renovations. There will also be household product reviews and comparisons, other family related products and services reviews, and maybe a story or two along the way for fun.
