Building Plans and Tutorials @Bekob

Wahoo, it’s October and FALL!! It’s been perfectly lovely around here. Well, at least the weather. We’ve suffered a few setbacks on our house projects (some details over on Instagram @Bekob), which is so so frustrating, but at least the weather has been perfectly fall-ish.

So we didn’t share any of our projects this month, but we’re already off to a great start in October with a quick and straightforward cinder block fence fix and a long-overdue living room reveal! Hopefully we can keep the pace up with some of those projects that we have just been hanging onto, and get them posted for you, even if we are stalled a bit on our current projects. Even with stalled projects, I did do some dreaming of laundry rooms — over 100 of them, all here for you to drool over, too!

100 Laundry Rooms

and we shared a bunch of YOUR projects like these in this post:
