Hi there!! My name is VJ and this blog is essentially my little digital scrap book of my journey to turn my builder grade, tract style house into a Home. I purchased our home new in 2010 and it has been a perfect fit for my family, which consists of myself, 9 year old twins. As a single mother, I am always budgeting and looking for a good deal. However, I will not let a pesky little budget stop me designing the home of my dream. Trust me, I've got a long way to go! XOXO
