Fall Mantel Designs

Yes… I’m just sharing our fall mantels. What day is it? October 28th? 🙃 We’ve had a crazy last few months, and now that things have slowed down… we’ve really had time to relax and unwind from the busy summer. My husband and my nephew got my fall decor out of the crawl space lastContinue

Breezeway Stone

After a few unexpected house projects, we were stuck with less than half of our budget to redo our back patio. We had plans to hire a local mason to come and overhaul the space, but now that the budget was used elsewhere, we’ve been looking at other options. Backstory, I love the current stone.Continue

Fixing Broken Tile

This was by far the most gut wrenching project I’ve done. Mainly because I didn’t have a lot of confidence I could do it. Better yet, I didn’t think I could do it well. Let me backup. So two weeks ago, I was absolutely exhausted so I asked my husband to bring home a rotisserieContinue

Painted Kitchen Countertops

When we moved into our home almost four years ago, we didn’t have the budget to redo our countertops, so I decided to paint them! Now that it’s been a few years of wear and tear, not to mention our cats scratching them up when we yell at them to get off the counters… itContinue

Winter Home Tour

I figured before I totally get sick of my winter decor, I’d give you guys a home tour! This year I kept things very simple, frosted, and cozy. I ended up keeping both mantles very similar to how I had them for Christmas, just took everything ‘Christmasy’ out. I guess let’s start there: This isContinue

Reflecting on 2018

Happy New Year! I hope you all enjoyed your holiday season and have time to relax and unwind now that it’s over. It’s officially “once I’m home, I’m not going back out” season. I have to admit, I become somewhat of a hermit crab until Spring comes. Cold days, lots of snow, and getting darkContinue

Christmas Home Tour

Hi All! Are ya’ll ready for Christmas in a few days?! I’m just about done shopping, and I’m pretty sure everything is wrapped, as long as nothing else arrives in the mail 🙈 I’ve always shopped in stores, but this year it has been mainly online. After going to the stores in early December andContinue

Main Bathroom Refresh

Finally, a bathroom refresh! When we moved in over two years ago, this bathroom didn’t need much… or so I thought (much like the rest of the house). We began by giving it a good cleaning, and my mother in law painted the walls for us. A few months later I decided to gel stainContinue

Fireplace Hearth

Dang, first blog post in about a year. If I’m telling the truth, I’ve missed sharing our DIY projects. I love sharing them on Instagram, but you don’t get to see the full process there—usually only the before & after. As most of you know, we’ve been in our home for about 2 ½ yearsContinue

Thanksgiving Tablescape

Happy Thanksgiving, all! I hope you had a great holiday. As most of you already know, my husband and I had 24 guests for Thanksgiving dinner this year (8 additional guests for dessert), this being our second-year hosting. Luckily last year we had 21 guests, so I was accustomed to the large crowd. A fewContinue
