About Me:
Hi! I'm Maury (Mars for short)! My husband and I are making our house into a home on a super tight budget. This is my journal of the ups (and quite a few downs) of the process, along with other random bits of our lives thrown in here and there.
Favorite area of home improvement:
I love turning something that doesn't work for my lifestyle (like a formal living room) into a function space for my family.
