It's been nearly 2 years since we got our A-Frame cabin in Lake Arrowhead. We had plans for renovations that would make this cabin more comfortable for our family and friends who visit. When we first got the cabin, the large basement was the primary bedroom area. But we wanted to use that large place as a bedroom and additional bunk r[...]
Y'all, choosing paint colors can be overwhelming! Am I right?! When we started this Lake Arrowhead cabin renovation, we knew we would be repainting EVERY surface of this home--exterior and interior.

The living room, the kitchen, the kids room--all arranged and styled. But my bedroom has always been a work in progress (and still is). I have been looking at bedroom furniture for months now and can'[...]
You guys, our back yard has been dismal and sad for over 3 years now. When we first moved into our home, we had grand plans of a dream backyard for entertaining friends and family.
