We’ve been working on the attic remodel for almost six months now, which, for a project this size, isn’t bad. However the planning for the project has gone on much longer than that. While there have been a lot of details to consider, it has really been a “big picture” project: to add more living space to a previously unfinished, unused part of the house.

We saw the forest, and now I’m ready to start focusing on the trees. There is furniture and accessories all over the house that may need to be transplanted to a new space where they will be better appreciated and have room to grow, and there are many small projects — saplings if you will — that are waiting to be nurtured to help the house reach its fullest potential.

If the weather continues to be as dreary and rainy as it has been the past couple days, it will be the perfect weekend to help our little saplings grow into majestic trees — the little details that make a house our home.
