I had originally purchased this ottoman from Ikea about 4 years ago to use in a staging, and I decided I didn’t like it that house, the next house or in the next house and so on. So in my warehouse it sat, got moved, moved again and ultimately just thrown around. For the past …

One of the reasons we bought this house was an amazing sunroom off of the kitchen/dining room. But it looked like it was out of an 90’s issue of DIY Home, especially the ceiling fan.  So as I was priming the walls and a beam in the ceiling I realized if I wanted to update …

3 weeks after Henry’s lip/nose/gum repair surgery he had nose stents placed. This is the most aggravating things we have had to deal with so far. The nose stents are put into place to shape and open up the inside of the nose and keep scar tissue from blocking the nasal passage. Some surgeons or …

  So our little Henry is now 12 weeks old and I am finally getting around to writing a new post! I am totally in love with our new little man and I am also in love with his room. We choose to have his room the biggest, besides the master because since he was …

I love natural elements, anyone will tell you that I’m obsessed with rocks and anything nature. So for our little Henry’s nursery I wanted to add some of these elements and here is what I came up with.   I am in absolute love with these. They are my favorite things in the nursery! So …
