Our outdoor patio was needing a little bit of a refresh. The hard winter months had left it feeling sad, depressed and ready for a tiny makeover, which I was happy to give, considering our patio is one of the first things you can see when you walk through our home… specifically because the back…

A few years ago, I wrote two blog posts (here and here) all about how to find your decorating style. Little did I know, those two blog posts would spur on several other ideas. My e-book, which is set to launch on Monday, May 30th, is all about HOW to find your style, but I…

Yesterday I shared how I made the lovely floral letter, and today I’m showing the simple way I decorated for my cousin’s baby shower a few weeks ago. I have to admit though, that I completely forgot to take pictures once I had everything set up. It wasn’t until lunch had been served and we…

A few months ago I had the idea of switching out our dining room curtains… and that was a big thing, considering I originally made them as one of my very first sewing projects. But time changes things, and I was ready for a switch… and since curtains have super magical powers (really and truly),…

Just like a few other rooms in our house, our dining room has seen its fair share of style changes. Looking back at pictures, I can see how much I was really trying to find exactly what my “style” was. I was switching things up, exploring new design choices, and taking bold risks. Through the…

Our home has seen it’s fair share of changes over the past few years. It’s also safe to say it will see plenty more. I like switching things up, always finding a new way for things to function even better than before. I was looking at our home tour page the other day, and realized how…

Thank you so very much for all of your sweet comments on my mom’s office makeover! I love how it turned out too!  Today, on our last day of makeover week, I wanted to share the room sources. Several of the things I used in my mom’s room were things she already owned, but several…

Oh my goodness! Today I am sharing the reveal of makeover week!

Today I wanted to share the evolution of our breakfast nook. Not only is it fun to look back and see the progress we’ve made with the house, but it’s very interesting to see how much my style has changed as time has gone on.  I also wanted to take today to really encourage you….

One of my favorite ways to add character and charm to our home, is with signs. They add such a beautiful element, and today I’m sharing all about our new breakfast nook sign. You’ve all asked, so I’m answering! 🙂  Our breakfast nook has had a few changes over the last couple of weeks. We…

Have I ever mentioned that our breakfast nook is one of my very favorite rooms in our home? It’s the lighting, the big window, the bench… it’s all of it. And it’s no secret our breakfast nook has seen it’s fair share of different “looks”, each time getting closer and closer to being just right….

I finally upgraded the rug in our hallway… The little brown rug that we had in there the past few years was wore out. It had a few snags, the rubber backing was starting to peel from regular washing’s, and it had a couple of clorox stains by accident. It was time to upgrade.  I…

Today it’s all about our new light in the master bathroom. Little by little, we’ve made progress fixing it up. The bathroom that sat unfinished for months, has slowly started to take shape… and it’s exciting.  You may remember when I shared a sneak peek of this light in our new entry light post… We…

I am so excited to share our latest project, shelves in the master bathroom! If you read the recap of our trip to the Vintage Whites Market (or attended the event! 🙂 ), you might have noticed the shelves we were selling. I absolutely adored them (and they were really popular!), so I wanted to…

One of the most frequent questions I receive, is what our house paint colors are… and I totally get it. Paint colors can be really hard to choose. I mean, there are about a million of them to choose between. Below, I have broken down exactly what colors we have, and what room they’re in. Take…

I often get e-mails regarding our house, and how perfect everything is. It’s always the same question, “How do you do it all?”. And although I love reading the sweet words of praise, my answer is always simple, I don’t do it all. Blogging can often show the best side of life. Be that the…

I’m a nature girl. I love neutrals, accents of wood, and anything I can bring in from outside to decorate with. So, when my sweet friend Stacy from Not Just A HouseWife asked me to join in on her series, Styled by 3, I couldn’t wait to see what she would come up with. Before…

And while I completely and utterly think they are beyond fabulous at Christmas, I do think they can be used throughout the rest of the year too! So today, I’m sharing how to decorate…
