If you’re popping over from the party today thanks for stopping by and getting to know us.

I’m Maria and the owner of this blog and a house by the lake. The hubby is Bryan, he’s my partner in this home owning journey.  Our son Nikolas is 2 1/2 going on 1 2 and keeps us on our toes.

Bryan and I bought this good house in a great spot 3 years ago and have been putting our mark on it ever since. We chose this house on the lake for it’s outdoor lifestyle and gorgeous views. During the summer months it’s like being on vacation all the time.We truly love it. Nothing is perfect around here and everything is always a work-in-progress…just the way we like it.

We both have office day jobs so our home is really where we get to let our our creative side shine. We’ve worked on a ton of projects since moving in and we have a ton more to go. It’s as much about the journey as it is the end result. I don’t think we’ll ever been done because it’s something we both love to do.

This blog space of ours is sort of like a DIY Diary along with a healthy amount of Real Life thrown in.

Feel free to take a look around:

• Our Lake Tours page is where you can check out some of the beautiful sites around our lake.
• The Projects Page lists all of our DIY projects and makeovers with handy dandy little thumbnails.
• Our House Tours page is a great way to check out all the progress we’ve made along the way.
