Um, I have a confession to make. I have been married for almost 13 years, and I have never owned a Christmas tree skirt in all that time. To add insult to injury, I have been blogging about Christmas for 4 years. How did I get away with that? Well the truth is I have […]
Switching things up a bit…
Happy Halloween! (I wanted to show you our Family Halloween pictures first thing, but I will have to get back with you later today, since I haven’t taken them yet!! Whoops!) Anywho, no huge projects today, but I wanted to tell you about a small change I made in my living room. I’ve had a […]
Office Organization; Resolution Time!
Okay, I have a confession to make, my desk is a TOTAL disaster- I am not exaggerating. We’ve been living in this house for a year, with several MAJOR projects going on at all times and I will admit, getting my desk organized (meaning a home for everything) just hasn’t happened yet. (It is totally […]
Found It!
I showed you the rug I had purchased for our living room a couple months ago… I LOVED the rug, I just didn’t love it in our front room. I told you then that I had plans to move it to my bedroom and you can sort of see what it will look like […]
Built-in Closet Hack
I can’t believe that we have already been working on Etta’s room for a year now. I know a lot of you do projects faster than that, but I guess I am all stealth like a glacier, and it is not the only project we are working on, so we get to it as […]
Backyard Design and Before Pictures
After getting settled into our new place, we started playing in the backyard a lot, to stretch our legs and have fun. It made us really miss our last yard, though. We just got it to a point where it was cleaned up, with a nicely furnished patio, patio lighting, a deck, vegetable garden, fire […]
DIY Outdoor Baby Gate
Today we want to show you our new tall baby gate for the back stairs. We still love the baby gate for the inside stairs, that we made when we first moved in. Now that we are playing outside a lot more, we found we needed another baby gate at the bottom of the deck […]
Etta’s Pink and Navy Bed Nook
We’ve been chipping ever so slowly away at Etta’s Room, in between other projects. Last thing you got to see was the confetti drapes tutorial I made after getting the new windows (I still LOVE those new windows!!). But, I am feeling the stress of making anything actually totally happen, or I should clarify, […]
New Living Room Rug!?!
I meant to post this yesterday so forgive me posting today, but I got home from Youth conference (with the teenagers in my church ages 14 – 18) last night and was totally wasted. But it was SO my fun! There was the FUNNEST ever zip line right into the lake the water was my favorite part. I […]
Build A Storage Console Table From A Card Table
So you saw my new favorite project last week, the Swedish clock that has been my dream to make for the last 3 years…. well, it wasn’t the only part of the project that I am really happy about. Right next to it was this little baby(see below)! A lovely grey painted storage console table that […]
Board and Batten Wall Tutorial
Okay so one of the things that I am adding to our living room walls is the board and batten wall finish. We’ve done it before a few times in our very first house over 10 years ago, and in our third house living room. Can I admit that I am a little tired of […]
Master Bedroom Plans
I haven’t shown you much of my new house, because I still have projects to show you from my old house, (I know I am so slow! It has been hard to work on a whole new house and show old projects!) Today however, I am making an exception. I wanna show you where I […]
Flooring for the Living Room
Okay everyone, today we are going to take a step forward in my procrastinating blogger life and show you part of our current living room, with my new living room flooring. GASP! I know, I am patting myself on the back too! We’ve lived here for almost 8 months and while we have taken HUGE […]
Merry & Bright Silhouette Project! (& Black Friday Discount Code!!)
Okay so I showed you this week how we installed our new rustic wood fireplace mantel and the awesome little ampersand cutout sign project. Now I have the rest of that particular craft to go with it. It all started when I saw this on Pinterest, from the Lovely Cupboard. I loved the snowflake […]
