Forever Fixing Up
Our Forever Home
​
We're Zach and Kiersten. Thanks for following along as we worked to make the very 2000s home we bought in 2020 more “us.” For three years we've shared everything from quick fixes to more permanent changes, along with projects you can do in your own home. Zach shared all his lawn and garden advice as he started over on the new yard, too.
​
We've officially stopped blogging, which you can read all about in our last post. Thanks for stopping by!
