Wall Moulding In The Nursery
Today I'm sharing how we installed wall moulding in the nursery. It's added the perfect amount of character to the bare walls, really bringing this room to the next level. We've been hard at work getting ready for baby girl! It's been a real team effort, but her room is looking so good and things are coming together beautifully! Today, I wanted to share the wall moulding we just installed in the nursery. It's made such a huge difference and it's added the perfect amount of character to her room. If I'm honest, I've been a little bit indecisive when it came to what exactly I wanted to do in her room. The one thing I knew for sure, was that we would be installing wall ...
Customizing Our Ikea Pax Dining Room Cabinet
Today I'm sharing how we customized our Ikea Pax dining room cabinet. It's the perfect way to add character to Ikea cabinets while staying on budget. Our kitchen is small. We don't have a ton of storage, and that's something our entire house lacks as well. Getting creative and adding places to store our items has been on my project list since we moved in. In order to help add storage space to our kitchen, we added an Ikea Pax cabinet to our dining room. It instantly solved the problem of adding more storage space to our kitchen, but it also stuck out like a sore thumb, not really blending into our kitchen. With our kitchen and dining room essentially one space, I really wanted the ...
New Dining Room Table
We recently added a new dining room table to our dining room! Suddenly, things are feeling much better! Our dining room... sigh. It's a hard space to figure out. With it being small in size, and right in the middle of two major walkways, figuring out the right furniture placement has been tricky. Since we've been moving furniture around to make room for the baby and her nursery, we recently moved the office furniture to our basement where we'll be reworking everything to make things fit. The table I was using for a desk however, wasn't going to fit. I wasn't sure if it would work in the dining room, but it was a chance I was willing to take in order for us to have a more ...
New Garage Doors
Our New Garage Doors are installed and our exterior is looking better than ever! If you remember back when I shared our 2020 project goal list, adding new garage doors was at the top of our list. We worked on the exterior of our home so much last summer, and we made really great progress with new paint, windows, the addition of our front pergola, and all the landscaping we completed. The last really big item to finish things off, was having new garage doors installed. I've mentioned it time and time again, but the previous owners of this home really beat things up. They didn't take very good care of the house or property and the garage doors were just as much evidence of that as ...
TGI-Friday
Happy TGI-Friday! It's been a little while since I've shared a TGI-Friday post, but I always look forward to putting them together. They're a bit random, but they're full of so many good things, including my favorite new finds and behind the scenes things we've been working on, or upcoming projects we'll be starting. Lately, we've been focusing on all things baby. I've been putting my registry together and finalizing our design plan for her room, as well as the budget for all the pieces we'll need to be collecting to make her room come together. Like with most rooms, it's going to be a mix of high and low priced items. We'll splurge on some things and save on others, ...
DIY Towel Hook Rack
This DIY Towel Hook Rack is the perfect addition to our master bathroom and a great way to store towels! We've been busy working in our master bathroom and I was hoping to be able to share the full reveal with you at the end of the month, but since I haven't had the easiest time shopping for all those pretty finishing touches, things have been pushed back for a while. One thing we were able to create, was our DIY Towel Hook Rack. This was such a fun project to put together and I love the finished product. Believe it or not, but the wood is actually a left over stair tread from when we did our DIY staircase makeover. I loved the stair treads so much, that I wasn't willing to ...
Nursery Design Plan
With our sweet baby girl due the beginning of July, I've been working hard to pull together her nursery design plan and our baby registry. It's becoming really real that she'll be here soon, which is both incredibly exciting and making me a little bit nervous at the same time. We still have so much to do and prepare before she makes her arrival! Last weekend we removed everything from our office, which has been relocated to the basement, in preparation to start working on her room. I've thought long and hard about what I want her room to feel and look like. I often find myself sitting in her room, taking it all in and letting my imagination take over. This is the room we'll be ...
Gluten Free Lemon Scones
Love lemon? You're in for a real treat! These gluten free lemon scones are tender, with a bright pop of lemon flavor! Scone of the month is always such a fun (and delicious) blog post for me to put together. Especially right now, since we're all enjoying time at home, baking in the kitchen and sharing more meals together. Spending time in the kitchen is one of my favorite ways to decompress at the end of a long day... or my favorite way to start the day as I create something tasty to get our day going. For the scone of the month flavor this month, I created these delicious gluten free lemon scones. These yummy scones are bursting with lemon flavor and they're such a ...
DIY Staircase Makeover
Are you ready for a big transformation? Our DIY staircase makeover has made a huge difference for our home! If there's been one project that's been glaringly obvious that we need to finish, it's our stairs. When we were knee deep in demo'ing the house, we went through and removed all the old, super gross carpet, but other projects became more important and we ended up moving in with the stairs still in pretty rough shape. We've hated them, but we've dealt, just as anyone does when living in a fixer upper. With this project being one we wanted to complete this year, and the fact that it's been holding us up from finishing any base trim that connects to the stairs, we decided the ...
How To Install Wall Moulding
We've been doing some work in our master bathroom and it's coming along beautifully. When coming up with the design plan for this bathroom, I really wanted to add some extra character, especially with the bathroom being such a small space. Wall moulding was an essential part of my plan, and we just recently installed a few walls, with one more to go. Today though, I wanted to share our method on how to install wall moulding. It's such a beautiful way to add character to any space. How To Install Wall Moulding Before we get started, if you haven't caught up with progress in our master bathroom, you can read my last update here. This bathroom has come such a long ...
Five Tips For Living Through A Remodel
Living through a remodel isn't the easiest thing. We spent months working on our Willow House, making it livable, before we ever moved in. But even with all that time and hard work spent on making this house something we could move into, there were so many different items that would still need finished after we moved in. Now that we've lived here for over a year, we've both learned several lessons about what it's really like living through a remodel. Today, I wanted to share five tips for living through a remodel. It's not always as glamorous as what it's made out to be, but it is worth it! Five Tips For Living Through A Remodel Tip # 1: Be Patient I think it goes without ...
How To Organize Hot Tea
One little known fact about me, is that I love hot tea. It's such a soothing way to unwind, to enjoy with breakfast, an afternoon snack or after dinner before bed. And it pairs exceptionally well with scones... Growing up, my mom was always a big lover of hot tea, and she passed that love onto me. Because we both love it so much, our collection of hot tea flavors seems to grow regularly. And as the collection grows, so does the need for additional storage for all those tea boxes. Today, I'm sharing how to organize hot tea. The struggle can be real when you have a cabinet overflowing with tea boxes, leaving little room for organization or anything else! A few months ago my mom ...
Easter Table Setting
With everything that's going on in the world right now, I know the last thing you may be thinking about is setting the table for Easter. But with Easter right around the corner, I still wanted to share an easy Easter table setting to help brighten our spirits. The celebration of Easter may be different this year, with each of us doing our own in-home intimate gatherings, but our desire to celebrate hasn't changed... especially at Easter. Today, I wanted to share a very easy and simple take on an Easter table setting that can be created with things we already have on hand. Even though I wanted to add fresh florals from the grocery store, I didn't. Instead, I thought of a ...
An Update On Our Master Bathroom
It's time I shared an update on our master bathroom! We've made such incredible progress, and here soon, I look forward to revealing the finished space! Before that happens though, we have a few things left to finish. Let's take a look at how far we've come! The last time I talked about our master bathroom, I shared our design plan for the room... And a few pictures of the different elements we're planning on using in the bathroom... Today though, I wanted to share just how much progress we've made in our master bathroom, and what we have left to do before the room is finished. Just to refresh your memory, here's a look back at what we started with... Here's the ...
Our Spring Home Tour
Who else has been so excited, and ever so patiently waiting, for Spring to arrive? Maybe it's because I spent so much of the winter months sick and isolated to the couch, but I've been so ready for the warmer weather, the green grass, birds chirping and the coming days of planting flowers! I also love sharing our spring home tour. It's refreshing to air out the house, give everything a good cleaning and add in fresh elements that really make the house feel ready for the spring season. Today for our spring home tour, I'm joining Marty from A Stroll Thru Life and the beautiful tour she's created. She planned a whole week of amazing spring home tours. You can tour them all below, but ...
Gluten Free Banana Nut Scones
Boy do I have a treat for you today! For this month's Scone of the Month recipe, I'm sharing these amazing gluten free banana nut scones. I really can't tell you how much we love these! Yum, yum, yum! If you're new here, let me give you a little back story on Scone of the Month. Todd and I both love scones. They're basically one of our very favorite things, and we like to celebrate the weekends by baking a fresh batch of gluten free scones. Because we make them every weekend, I like to get creative with the different scone flavors we try. My favorite mix, by far, is this one. I've tried so many recipes claiming to be the very best, but none of them have ever come close to how ...
Installing & Painting Our Interior Doors
Let's just take a minute to celebrate the accomplishment of installing and painting our interior doors! It's been a long road getting here, but it's such a sweet victory in having every single interior door installed! Let me just tell you, you'll never fully appreciate the function and beauty of a door until you've lived without them for nearly a year! Yes, a year! When choosing our interior doors, I knew I wanted something a little more traditional in style, but we also didn't want to order custom doors. We found our door style in stock at Lowes, and since we've slowly been adding them to each room for the last year or so, it worked best for us to be able to buy them when we needed ...
Organizing Under The Kitchen Sink
I've mentioned before how little storage space our home has, and how it's one of my major house goals this year to get our house better organized to make everyday life less stressful. The first project I decided to tackle, was organizing under the kitchen sink. Not only was it super easy, but just having this small space cleaned up, with everything having a place, has already made this cabinet of our kitchen more enjoyable. But can a cabinet under the kitchen sink really make my kitchen more enjoyable? You bet! It's so nice knowing exactly where everything is, goes and where I can easily direct Todd to, as he searches for something. We have a running joke in the house that he ...
Master Bathroom Design Plan
I can't even explain how excited we are to start on our master bathroom remodel! It's been a project we've wanted to do, but held off from finishing while we prioritized other projects that needed done first. It's finally here though, and I've spent so much time working on the new floor plan for the bathroom, as well as the design plan for the space. Before I share the design plan, and the new layout, let's take a walk down memory lane and look back at where we started... The Master Bathroom Before: When we first bought the house, this room appeared to have been one of the only rooms in the house that had undergone some sort of an upgrade. Even with that said, the ...
Our Project Goals For 2020
Since we're still fresh into a new year, and baby girl will be joining us in July, Todd and I took the time to sit down and go over our house project goals for 2020. We have several spaces and areas we'd like to finish this year, so it felt right to sit down and work up a list so we have a good idea what we're looking at, and which projects we need to budget for. While living in a fixer upper, there's never a shortage of new projects that come up. We tackled so many big things last year... projects that really set the foundation for this house and the direction we see everything going. Now that the majority of those larger projects are finished (yay!), we get to add in all the fun ...
