House Crashers 2011

Do you ever watch HGTV or the DIY network????

Some of our favorites are: Bath Crashers, Rehab Addict, Sweat Equity, Renovation Realities, Holmes on Homes, Dear Genevieve and Yard Crashers....oh and Cory's favorite MAN CAVES!!!

We are pretty much obsessed!!!! We love doing projects!!! Let me rephrase, we love the idea of projects before we start and the way it looks when we are done....but occasionally it feels like we will never be done but it's always short lived.

We were inspired to have our very own house crash; we had a list of projects that we wanted to do and a week to do them(more like 4 days but who's counting). We made a list and budget of the things we wanted to do and went to the store and loaded up. We even planned our week according to the weather...smart huh???? NOTE: we started the house crash in March during Spring Break.
