This week marks the 5 years that we have lived in our home. It’s crazy to think how much we have done in our home as well as how much we still want to do! If you just moved into your home, or planning on moving soon, I’m going to share what I am happy …
I feel like this post is so late. Not because I have been taking my time writing it, but because it’s the middle of April and we finally had warm enough weather to refresh the sunroom out of winter hibernation! Oh, and it was only two days. Now it’s too cold again to actually enjoy …
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 …
I have been really motivated lately to get the house in order and complete the small annoying projects that need to be done, caulking, painting, gluing etc. The tedious little things that are quick but take a backseat to bigger projects. I must say, it feels really good to be getting them done! I have …
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 …
Let’s face it, we all have one. A junk drawer. Maybe some of you refer to it as “a drawer of useful things” or “a drawer of items that do not have a spot to call home,” or what we say, “THE DRAWER”. Whatever you refer to it as, for this post’s sake, it’s a …
I have two Ikea picture ledges in my dining room that were looking kind of bare since I put away the Christmas decor this week. I figured since the next holiday is Valentines Day, I wanted to go a little sweet. I came up with this printable and I think it’s perfect for our ledge! It’s …
My parents are fantastic. Every time they take the 4.5 hour journey to come visit us, I immediately take out my Master List on what projects I would like to work on while they are here. Either it’s for them to help me, or just to watch the little guy while I finish a project. …
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.

When we started house hunting I knew I didn’t want a Raised Ranch or some of you call it a split entry. But that is what we got and I had to make the most of it. At the top of the stairs was a typical raised ranch iron railing. I hated it. I felt …
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 …
Well it finally happened! We have closed on our new house! After 3 years of on and off looking we are in our forever home. We put the offer in on February 17th (my birthday) and we closed on May 20th. It feels so good to finally be in our own home…and now the fun …
