Shifting gears to finding furniture pieces for the loft. We swooped these chairs up for an unbelievable price. Let's see what a little love can do for them.

Old door gets a new life. After removing multiple layers of paint, this beaty is now ready to shine in the loft!

A new perspective and window view will mark the beginning of 2026. We have not publicized the challenges we faced, but the day the large living room window fell was undeniably one of the toughest. Following a full day of rigorous demolition and deconstruction, we were preparing to conclude the day and head back to Kansas City for some much-needed rest when we stopped by the building to wrap up, only to find the window had fallen, demanding our immediate attention to secure it. It was a critical moment that could have been make-or-break. Nonetheless, we summoned the resilience to push forward, staying focused on our ultimate vision. A year later, it stands as a testament to our commitment to our lofty dream.

When you find a nickel from 1898 when doing demo, you feel obligated to keep it in the finished remodel. Who lost it? What did it buy? Oh, the places it might have gone! The history it could tell! Cheers to another 127 years!

Another creative idea to make a gate at the top of our stairs. This used to be a headboard that got a new lease on life.

As we work on the loft, we're taking a moment to enjoy the moonlight. Tonight's Beaver moon is mesmerizing. Naturally, I'm thinking about a few special individuals who supported our dreams and encouraged us to take on these crazy DIY projects. Keep shining on us from above.
I see the moon, the moon sees me, the moon sees someone that I want to see! ️💖️

Not sure if there's more sweat or polyurethane on the floors, but we got here! 130 years doesn't look so bad.
