Last weekend, Aaron and I decided to jump the gun on the beginning of summer and wanted to take a little weekend road trip. I found a Groupon deal for the Parker Inn + Suites in Schenectady, NY and my first reaction was, “Schenectady? What the heck kinda name is that?” (it’s pronounced Ske-nek-ted-y, in case y’all were wondering) After thoroughly touring the town in Google Maps, I thought it looked quaint and decided to go for it.

I love giving myself a challenge – and saving money! – so I’ve been doing all my projects on a tight budget. It makes each renovation more interesting and, best of all, I can use the money I saved to get myself new…
