We’re new, so new, in fact, I thought I published this post, but I was wrong.  Thank goodness I copy and pasted the text to Word!  Phew!

  We’re the Cantrells. We are a family of 5 and we live in Lodi, CA. We are in the trenches of parenthood, raising our three vibrant daughters. We are so very blessed. They are healthy, fun-loving, smart little ladies that keep us on our toes.

We’ve been in our home since I was pregnant with our now 5 year-old middle daughter. We fell in love with our house, maybe not the holes in the walls where the intercom system was at one point, or the pink Lily motif of the master bath, but we fell in love with the bones. This was our dream home, no doubt, but it needed a whole lot of love.
We’ve spent the past nearly six years pouring our heart and soul into this place, project by project. We are handy people, yes, but not contractors, tilers, painters or craftsmen of any sort. We have the ideas and a lot of the skills to do some of the work, but the vast majority has been brought to fruition due to the hard work of many amazing tradesmen and women.

  Why start a blog when we aren’t even the people doing the work? Well, we aren’t doing the big jobs by any means, but we love designing and we love turning our ideas into reality. I, like may others, adore Pinterest. Hours upon hours have been invested into scrolling through pictures on Pinterest and Google. When it came down to it, I wasn’t able to find exactly what I was looking for. We would always end up going our own route and figuring out what we wanted by trial and error. Whether it’s been updating our children’s rooms, crafting a hood cover for our new kitchen, or figuring out a way to fill a blank wall with something new and exciting, we’ve just figured it out on our own. We thought it would be awesome to share some of these projects with others in hopes of inspiring new craft projects, home renovations, or design. If we CAN’t DO it, we’ll find someone who can!

Thanks for checking out our blog and we hope you enjoy!

Sincerely,
Kevin and Kelli Cantrell
