Last weekend I celebrated my first Mother’s Day. I’ve spent years waiting to be a mother… to have a precious baby filling the house with laughter, screams and so much love the cup continues to overflow at the end of the day… even after a long day. Ania is truly such a blessing and being […]

See how we installed vertical planking & open shelves in the kitchen to make it feel bigger and brighter! Our kitchen has come a long, long way. After we had our backsplash installed, it was time to add vertical planking and open shelves in the kitchen. From the very beginning when we were designing the […]

The secret is out: Our kitchen has laminate countertops & backsplash! See how we made it look like real marble! It’s been a hot minute since I’ve shared anything about our kitchen, but so much has changed lately! It’s time I shared an update on one of the biggest additions yet, our laminate countertops and […]

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 […]

I’m late in sharing this post, but better late than never, right? Designing and buying our Ikea kitchen was a new experience for us. We’d never went through the process of designing, creating and purchasing Ikea cabinets, and while it was definitely an experience, we’re still glad we did it.  When we first bought our […]

The kitchen design plan has been one of the harder rooms to really nail down. Overall, I’ve known what I wanted to do, but there were still a few key elements that I just couldn’t decide on. Elements, that I felt really needed to be picked before moving forward with the final plan for our […]

If you ask either one of us what our least favorite project has been to date, we’d both probably answer with replacing the kitchen sub flooring. Don’t get me wrong, we were thrilled to get the nasty, rotted sub flooring up and out, but the process of actually doing it left a lot to be […]

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 […]

You’re in for a real treat today friends, because I’m sharing an absolutely gorgeous peek into my beautiful friend Chelsea’s kitchen! Remember her dining room? Swoon! Her home is utterly fabulous, and I love being able to share it with you… major inspiration, and I know you all love it as much as I do! Chelsea […]

Today’s post is yet another “helpful post”. It’s not necessarily filled with beautiful, jaw dropping pictures, but rather the simplified take on exactly how I organize my spices. In comparison to blog land with most people creating fancy labels, removing the “ugly” items and adding a whole lot of staging, my take is, well, simple.  […]

The pantry… it’s a room I’m in and out of all day long, and up until a few days ago, I had the biggest mess! Today, it’s all about how I organize our baking canisters! There are several things I’ve never really shared on the blog, but I am allergic to gluten. Thank goodness I […]

White paint makes everything pop. We recently planked a few more walls in the house, and that led to a wall in the kitchen being painted the same color for a smoother transition… Yes, it’s true. I love the color white. White walls, white flowers, white clothing, white vehicles… basically white everything. When we first […]

Bring a bit of character to your home with an antique clock. Given to me by a friend, I was on a search to find the perfect place to put it. Now, it’s happy in the kitchen, and I’m happy to look at it every day. Here’s the story of our antique kitchen clock… Now […]

You may have noticed that I like chalkboards. We have several of them floating around our home, but I still felt like we needed one more. And I’ve wanted a really big one for a really long time. Every time I see one, I get all excited. And then I wonder why we haven’t made […]
