DIY Restroom Signs ~ Woodsy Discs & Modern Decals
I know this seems like a funny DIY to share but it’s a follow-up to my Dogwood Tavern restroom renovation post… which I was hoping to get up a bit more quickly but you know, I have zero time right now, lol. The original renovation post was so long I just figured I’d create a …
Dogwood Tavern Restroom Renovation // Before and After

Truly At Home in the Mountains & A New Adventure
When we moved up here to Lake Arrowhead (just over four years ago now), I finally felt “at home”… but it took me a few years to actually settle in. I knew I was finally in the right place, I just couldn’t get the LA mindset out of my brain… and didn’t really even realize …
