At the beginning of 2016 I posted my home goals for the year and I thought it would be fun to compare the list to the things I actually did. I also came up with a new list for 2017. I like putting things in writing not just because it holds me accountable, but I …
So remember when I said I love my new Allure ISOCORE flooring that I just put down? Well, I loved it so much I saved all the scraps so I could make new things! ( Minus the ones my son took to make a “road” for his cars.) I knew immediately when I was cleaning up the …
I am excited more this year than ever to decorate our kitchen for Christmas. It’s starting to take shape into the kitchen I have always wanted. Since we painted our kitchen cabinets this a few years ago it feels so much brighter and definitely more my style. Also redoing the flooring and now starting to …
**Edit** This flooring is now called Lifeproof Luxury Vinyl Plank Flooring. About a month or two after using this flooring they went through a name change but it’s still the same exact product. You can also check out this flooring when I put it in my dining room, living room and hallway here. *** Since …
Anyone have that one friend or relative that tries to pawn stuff on you that they no longer want but they actually don’t want to get rid of? My person is my Mom. She’s always trying to give me stuff. I think it makes her feel better that she’s not really giving it away, but …
Sometimes we have the best intentions of doing something really spectacular, but then life gets in the way and we end up doing something smaller, but still turns out great. That’s what happened with my Fall Home Tour. As bloggers we have to stay ahead of the seasons. We love to encourage, inspire and motivate …
So about a year and a half ago I posted our dining room makeover. On the wall I had started a “gallery” wall of sorts. The main focus were two Ikea picture ledges. When I hung them up I had visions of decorating them for the holidays, switching out decor and just having them being …
This Labor Day weekend was much needed family time…with a few projects sprinkled in. I’m always grateful when my husband is home and we can spend time together as a family. Yes, I tend to complain or get annoyed when he works so much and long hours. But I am also grateful for his work …
Two years ago we started our sunroom renovation. We got the main parts down with paint and flooring but then it stalled. A few months later I put our curtains up and it stalled again. This was the year I was going to finish the sunroom. I was so excited that I finally got my …
Wow, it’s been awhile. You guys, having two kids is hard! She is now two months old and it’s starting to get easier but I still don’t have the time to knock out projects like I did. Ask my husband, he’ll tell you that there is a painting pile in our downstairs family room just …
When moving into our home I had visions of walking through my huge vegetable garden, picking juicy tomatoes and filling my basket with tons of cucumbers and watermelons. I decided to start small. I had my dad make two raised beds. I decided only two since I have never grown vegetables before I would get …
When we moved into our home these cabinets were so orange I couldn’t wait to paint them! But it felt like it was such a big project I put it off for about 3 years..and then decided to do it when I was 8 months pregnant! To get started I wanted to be prepared so …
It’s final reveal time and it feels so good! Living in a raised ranch or split level as some of you call it, the entry always seems to be a problem when it comes to decorating or storage. We mostly use our side door to come in the home so storage wasn’t a concern for us, …
It’s done! The last 6 weeks have been a little tiring trying to get everything done for the One Room Challenge, but it is my fault, not only did we completely makeover the guest room into our nursery but we decided to makeover our entry and paint our kitchen cabinents. I was trying to rush …
When my little man was a year old I purchased a big bag full of vintage puzzles from a yard sale for $3. Awesome deal right? The lady told me there was a puzzle with a piece missing I told her my son is one he won’t care. Well, now he’s two and a half …
It’s the second week of Calling it Home’s One Room Challenge! Do you ever feel like once you have something you need to finish in a certain amount of time the weeks just fly by? This week did! But, I am happy to report that we got all the necessities done in the room that was …
Spring is my favorite season. It’s welcomed warmth after a long, cold, dull winter. I love Spring flowers, Spring colors and how fresh and new everything is becoming. I also like swapping my neutral winter decor into something a little more bright. About a year ago I had purchased a set of four fabric napkins …
I saw this old window in a pile at our cottage and I instantly knew I wanted it. I took it home and painted it. I wanted to hang it in our family room but I didn’t exactly know how to customize it. I didn’t know if I wanted to add photos to it or just …
I showed you how I made a holiday sweater wreath out of an old sweater. Ever since then I have been dreaming of doing an all white fluffy cable knit sweater wreath. I had visions of winter white. So while making that dream a reality, I decided to shoot a quick video of me doing it. …
