There's nothing quite like having overnight guests coming to give you that needed push to get your guest room in shape... that's right, my cousins came to stay with us for a night, and it completely motivated me to get the guest room to a state where it could actually function as a guest room! (Hand clap!) I know I've been slow to share any progress on the room, but that's about to change! Let's talk about how I gave our old guest bedroom dresser a makeover! Do you remember when I shared the moodboard for the room? Well, included in that, I knew I wanted to use the existing dresser we had in the space, but just give it an updated look by painting it black, and then updating ...

How To Start A Blog
There are several questions I receive frequently, and one of those is, "How do I start a blog?". I totally get it. It's such an amazing way to share your creativity, whether that be cooking, crafting, DIY projects, kid crafts, etc., blogging is a fabulous outlet to share those ideas that start to boil over. It's also an amazing way to document your journey, be it your new home, first time apartment, or your marriage. The topics for blogging are endless. When I first started blogging 3 years ago, I wasn't sure exactly what it was. I had a general idea, but there were so many details that I had no idea even existed. I started the blog as a way to share the journey of building our home with ...

White Dinnerware
I'm not going to kid you, when it comes to white dinnerware, I tend to get a bit obsessive. It's just about one of my very favorite things ever, so it only makes sense for me to collect pieces to sell at our upcoming Vintage Whites Market in Utah. And I must say, if I didn't have a market coming up, I would totally keep all of this for myself. It must be love! :-D I mentioned last week that I had been hitting up estate sales in our area for items to take with us to the market, and today it's all about the white dinnerware, and a few other finds, I've been luck enough to stumble upon. They make my heart warm and happy, so I know I'm on the right track to giving a true representation of ...
Lovely Fabric Finds New Home
On my recent trip to JoAnn's Fabric I found two fabrics that I had to have. If you've ever shopped for fabric, you know that if you find something you love, you will completely regret not buying it. Right then. I tend to dream about it for three days before I've finally had enough. Then I go back to buy it, and it's gone. HATE THAT! Aarrrgggg..... I did a little preventative maintenance this go round and I bought a yard of each of these beauties: Yes, I am aware that we are going into fall. And yes, I am also aware that one of these fabrics is spring/ summery. I don't care. The little voice was telling me that I had to buy these... listen to the little voice, people. Listen. I've ...
