{If you are visiting from the Nester, thank you for stopping by my new interiors blog. This week I will be posting about our boys’ room renovation projects. And {yay!} I am so excited that this Friday, I will be revealing my first Design Board. Thank you to everyone who has been supporting me in my Online Interiors dream!}
Each January, my hubby and I sit down and we plan a years worth of family goals. Some of the headings of our goal areas are: Parenting, Marriage, Individual, Money, Spiritual, Family. But the ones relevant to the house-fun here at Fieldstone Hill Design are our goal areas of “Home Improvements: Interior” and “Home Improvements: Exterior.”
We don’t go wild with these goals. You know… the best laid plans…
We try to keep them realistic and attainable, but they do help us stay focused. {we do, after all, have a HUGE to do list with our historic home and property. Must. stay. focused.}
