The year is coming to a close which means we’ve been living in our little house for just over a year now. Crazy! We moved an hour west from Columbus, OH to Springfield, OH to be closer to my new office. This is our first single family house we’ve lived in and we’ve been excited to dream up and start tackling home projects.
