I did not know that but it’s a pretty big revelation for me, I must say.. And that’s the mudroom.. Hope you enjoyed your little tour!This mason jar porch light is such a fun farmhouse style way to update an old porch light that you aren’t quite ready to replace.

Big, expensive plants.Big, expensive plants that take years to grow..

If only there was something to help me fill in the gaps.Some kind of product that would make my garden look less neglected, but would still allow me to plant new things without having to spear my way through layers of plastic and fabric.. Oh yeah.. Mulch..So I can take an area like this:.

And then go to the local recycling depot, which is where people take things like this branch knocked down during a storm….. To be turned into this stuff!.To be picked up by me for free to use in my garden!.

After a bit of weeding of course.. Chris started to make this neat path in the garden too using our free mulch.

You can see it needs some of my weeding skills as well..You can see more of the gory details from when the room was completely gutted in this room.

.. Then we moved the plumbing for the toilet and the tub,.installed heated flooring.

, and next we were on to the fun stuff!.One of the main focal points in this room is obviously the amazing vanity, which I was extra-super-duper lucky to have provided to me by KraftMaid.
