Hi everyone! I’ve been really bad about blogging but wanted to catch everyone up on the progress we’ve made on our Big Canoe home. Last time I wrote (four months ago, mind you), we were just finished demoing our laundry/pantry hall. Well, we finally mostly wrapped it up this past weekend so I thought I’dContinue reading “It’s been a minute…”

I mentioned in my last blog post that a little “accident” had occurred with our laundry bi-fold doors. They opened right by the back door and let’s just say that if you aggressively open the door while someone is doing laundry with the bifold open, you can actually not only rip it out of theContinue reading “Scope Creep”

Hi everyone! It’s been a minute since I’ve written, but a lot has happened in that time. After we finished the doors and drawers, we had our contractor come in to paint everything. It looks amazing! We painted the island a grey that goes well with our existing granite and backsplash, and the rest ofContinue reading “A short and sweet blog post…”

Hi everyone! Sorry I’ve been MIA but we’ve been busy! Since I last posted, all of the interior painting has been finished, the floors are finished, a lot of repairs outside have been made, and we’ve been trying to get the place put together!  We have made a lot of progress on the interior, and I’ll tryContinue reading “We’ve been busy!”

Last time I shared pictures of just the main level, so I thought I’d show you some of the upstairs as well as the basement. As I write this, changes are already taking place. I mentioned that we had the floors on the main level refinished, and they look fantastic! If you’re in the AtlantaContinue reading “A little more about the house…”

Hi everyone! It’s been a minute so I thought I’d catch you up on what’s happening with the Heffrons! As we get closer to full-time retirement (still 3-5 years out), we have been thinking a lot about where we’d like to live. Keith and I both love the mountains. And as much as we LOVEDContinue reading “I’m Back…”
