Our Complete Basement Renovation

I can't explain just how proud I am of this renovation, or of my husband who stuck by me through it all, from the first brainstorming photo until the last shelf was placed.  It's the first home project we tackled together and I love our results! It was creating something from nothing.  This was a great metaphor for our marriage. 

Homemade vanilla extract requires little to no effort, with HUGE reward in the end. Just grab some good quality vanilla beans, a bottle of nice vodka, and let time to it’s thing! All the effort comes in the form of patience, and cute packaging. I love giving a bottle of my homemade vanilla with a favorite recipe attached at holiday time. It’s always so appreciated!
