Welcome to the first day of canning week! Starting off our week, is canned apple pie filling! This recipe is seriously amazing. But before we dive into it, let me give you a little back story about my experience with canning. Growing up, I was raised with a mom and family that loved to can….
When we bought our fixer upper house, we knew one of the first things we’d be replacing was the windows. They were old and in really rough shape… much like the condition of the rest of the house. Several of the metal window frames were bent, the screens were tore up or missing, and there…
The last time I shared a laundry room update, we had just installed the new black slate tile, and the room was officially ready for paint and cabinets! You may remember from when I introduced the house, but the original laundry room was actually just a little section in the garage. There wasn’t a room,…
Friday… Isn’t it one of the best days of the week?! In today’s TGI-Friday post, I thought it would be fun to share the last 5 house things I’ve purchased… minus groceries! Even though I haven’t been posting on the blog, that doesn’t mean I haven’t been buying the house some goodies here and there!…
When it came to picking our interior paint colors, I knew I wanted to keep a clean, bright interior. So many of the fun and custom touches we’ll be adding to the house will come over time, and not knowing exactly what we’ll want to do down the road, I wanted to give the house…

If you’ve ever bought a fixer upper home that had really gross rooms, you know the thrill of demo’ing the space and taking it down to bare bones. Demo’ing the kitchen was just like that… it was so refreshing to get everything out and to have a blank canvas. Remember the kitchen? The picture makes…
If ever there was a true fixer upper of a house that needed TLC, remodeling and updating, it’d be this one. But even with all the popcorn ceilings, stained and utterly gross carpet, water leaks, and outdated heating and A/C, we knew this house had so much potential to be an incredible home. It would…
I’m always amazed at how much things change… a year ago I was so unsure of what my future would look like, I could hardly move. For the longest time I sat there, frozen in fear… afraid to make a move, and worried that whatever step I took next, would be the wrong one. Fear…
A few weeks ago, I shared how we updated our hallway with board and batten… talk about a transformation to the space. One day it was a plain and basic hallway, the next it was bright and full of character. But shortly before we added the board and batten, we decided it was time to…
