HOME TOUR

I started this blog in 2006 when we were renovating our 1959 ranch kitchen and when house design blogging wasn't so much a thing, and here it is 2015! After 9 years of no updates, much has changed in our 1959 rancher: a renovated bathroom, a new master bedroom addition, lots of updates, too much painting, patios and even two cute kids to fill it! We learned a lot since then, and that kitchen from 2006, now needs a major update. I do hope to make some little changes to it (on a budget of course) as well as some changes to other rooms in the house. I hope to use this place in the huge world of home blogging, to share my little hobby of interior design on a very, very tight one income household budget!  I used to love browns and beiges, but no more! So join me as I slowly try to brighten this place up! Note: not a write and photos all from iphone so nothing fancy here!

I don't know if you still monitor this blog or not since I am interested in what you posted several years ago. I love what you did with the closet in your main bedroom. I stumbled upon your pictures somehow because I was reading about Ikea Pax doors to use for a "reach in" closet being build in our new main bedroom addition. My question is this: how did you figure the spacing between the sets of closet doors to allow enough room for the hinges? In a run of 6 feet or 8 feet, how did you know how many doors and hinges you could fit?

Thanks for any tips you can offer!
