We didn’t get into the most recent bread making craze, but a donut making craze could be different! Compass put together some pretty easy to follow and very visual instructions. Em and the boys are going to try to make them gluten free this weekend. We’ll share the results in the comments.
Have you been making anything new and fun while you’re staying home lately? We’d love to hear from you.

They had their eyes on the home for quite a while and purchased it before it ever went onto the market. They expected to complete a few projects prior to moving in, but their previous home sold more quickly than they expected. So, they rigged up temporary electrical and moved on in. They didn’t have a bathtub for the first week and they used a shower at their friend’s home down the street. Their oldest child came home one day and said: “It is a really great home, I’m so glad I don’t live here.”
They carefully tackled all of their projects updating the home in a way that also preserved the original beauty.
They updated the roof while keeping elements of the old tin roof:
They painstakingly preserved the original windows, There are nearly sixty of them and not a single one is exactly like the other:
The home is a true brick, in that it is constructed with a rare and sturdy double construction. The pathway on their oversized adjacent lot is comprised of bricks from the inside of this home and the owner’s childhood home down the street. The bricks are over 100 years old.
The homeowners built a she-shed with flooring salvaged from the original back porch. The shed’s walls are comprised of doors that they salvaged from other projects, friends or even the side of the road. The kitchen cabinet in the shed from their old kitchen. There is a concealed pull-out chair and telephone box from their previous home on Edgefield.
You can see pictures of the home prior to their renovation here and updated pictures of this gorgeous home here.
