Beautiful fall has arrived, and with it comes the necessity to get your house in order!

Mine is no exception, if fact, my house has been screaming, “Give me some love”….”Right now”!

The inspiration for this week’s posts began with a reminder call from our heating and cooling company to schedule our  fall maintenance appointment.

Like a domino effect, this got me on track to address other areas of the house that needed my attention.

So after a quick stroll around the house, instead of ignoring the issues at hand, (I’m a busy woman-don’t judge me!)I started to address them.

Here are the items I found that were vying for my attention.

1. Crown molding settlement issue
