I have been waiting over 2 years for this moment. That moment where the ugly, light, stained, laminate flooring in our basement family room is replaced! You can read about how we prepped the room, painted and ripped up the old flooring in my last post. Now let’s get on with this AMAZINGLY easy flooring. …
I must say since purchasing this home over 2 years ago the interior is making me really happy lately. We have worked really hard to make this house a home and I think we have definitely succeeded. The exterior is a whole other story. We haven’t done anything to the landscaping or exterior of the …
We have just returned from another fun filled, family weekend at our family’s cottage in the Finger Lakes region of NY. Seneca Lake to be exact. My parents spend most of their summers there and we visit a couple times a year and now with the little one walking around it’s a little more fun, but …
Before we bought a house I knew I wanted to have a HUGE garden. I wanted to grow everything, from cucumbers to peppers and potatoes. We moved into our home in May 2013 so being pregnant and trying to get the house ready before little man came was the main priority. So we didn’t get …
The very first time we looked at our house I started planning projects in my head. When we finally moved in those projects moved onto a “Master House List” which reads more like a book than a list! It also seems like every time we cross an item off the list another item gets added. I guess that’s …
Today marks 4 years of wedded bliss to my handsome hubby. That means a total of 14 years together! Whew! I loved our wedding so much. It was fun, simple, and just a big party celebrating us. I remember when I was planning the wedding, which I did in 6 months, it seemed as if …
Things are happening on our sunroom renovation. Slowly getting there…after this update we really just need to do the fun part, furniture and accessories! After painting and adding the new floor, I really wanted to soften up the whole space with curtains, but I didn’t actually want to block out any of the sunlight from …
Most of you know that I am also a Home Stager, well I was shopping for a home and I needed a lamp shade but couldn’t find the right one in the budget. So I actually found this lamp on clearance for a great price. It had the shade I needed but the lamp was …
These beauties came across my Facebook Marketplace They were listed for FREE!! So of course I pounced on them and had my husband pick them up on the way home from work. I loved the detail and they were in relatively good shape. So while on a what seems like a weekly trip to Lowes, I …
When we moved into our home I wasn’t a huge fan of the light fixture in the dining room. It just wasn’t my taste. I was constantly looking for a new one, but really didn’t feel like spending the money. While I was shopping at Home Goods one day I came across this large lamp …
When we moved into our home I didn’t really want to put a TV in our Master bedroom, but since I was pregnant and the rest of the house had projects going on, I needed a retreat. The way we set up our bedroom there was only one logical place for the TV…that and it’s where …
I love photos, especially of my son. But, there are some places that you can’t put a beautiful framed picture (the car, locker,bathroom mirror, etc) so you have to settle for just a photo taped to something. That’s not pretty. I decided to make a “stick-able” picture frame I could stick anywhere, even my car! The best …
I wrote a post “How to LOVE your home, Not just live in it” and one of the suggestions was always use meaningful art. Whether it’s a painting, photograph or a wall piece, only hang pieces you love. Don’t hang something because you need to fill a space. I wanted to give you some inspiration on …
I’m obsessed with driftwood. I admit it. I have made a lot of driftwood home decor accents that are strewn around our home. But one that I love is the what I call a “burst” I hung in our sunroom that we are renovating. There was a space toward the ceiling that was screaming…put something …
Our downstairs family room is one of the rooms where we haven’t really done much since moving in except for painting…but yes there are a lot of plans in my head for this room…. The hearth around the wood stove was brick. But it wasn’t just brick, it was brick RED and I hated it. …
One of the projects that has been on my master house list has finally been crossed off! I have been wanting to do some kind of entry way project where our side door comes in since we moved in. Originally I was thinking wainscoting with a shelf and hooks, but it was about $35 dollars …
So the holiday projects have started and I’m excited about the one I just finished! This sweater wreath was sooo easy! It’s the perfect project to do while watching TV or while your little one is napping! Things you need: (Affiliate links, see full disclosure here.) A sweater (or two) you don’t wear …
I love long curtains. I feel like they give a room elegance and just feel a little cozier. What my husband hates is when we have to use our baseboard heat they could potentially get too hot and catch on fire. Here is our easy solution and it works like a charm!
This post was posted about a year before I made the now extremely popular Burlap Wreath Video Tutorial Post. Because of the popularity of that post, I have decided to use this post as just the written instructions for the Easiest Burlap Wreath Ever! Supplies: (Affiliate links for your convenience.
