This year, I’ve had to get a little bit creative with gift ideas for our family. For one, experiences are getting a little tricky with COVID restrictions and lockdowns. Heck, our usual science museum and zoo pass hardly got used this year because they were closed for so much of the year or had so ..read more

I finally did it. I painted the fireplace built-in’s a dark green. And started swapping out furniture to fit the space better. As we’re staring down winter with potentially another lockdown (so far it’s just restrictions, but I’m sure they’ll get tighter as the winter goes on), I realized we needed to re-evaluate our living ..read more

For as long as we’ve lived here, I’ve wanted to paint these living room walls white and add a ceiling fan. In case you’re new here, this was the listing picture of our living room when we moved in. I love referring back to this picture because it’s so good to see how far we’ve ..read more

As I mentioned in my last post where I shared my Design Board for the project, we didn’t have a sitting area to enjoy outside at this house. We have a front porch and this back deck but we had no chairs or table. Since the deck was in dire need of a power wash…

As we’ve moved into summer (and while we were still under our Shelter in Place here) it became obvious pretty quickly that we didn’t have an outdoor area to hangout. Our patio table at our old house didn’t fit on the deck here so we sold it before we moved. And as the weather got…

Our basement has needed a little love for a while now. But now that my husband is working from home full time….for who knows how much longer, I decided it would be worth the time and effort to give it a little refresh for him. I firmly believe your environment has a big impact on…

We set up a great raised garden at our last house and I loved having it for fresh herbs, salad and tomatoes. Plus, once you spend the money to build the beds and buy the soil, it’s just a matter of planting seeds and adding a little bit of compost every year after that. Technically…

If you’ve been following me on Instagram, you know I was crowd sourcing recommendations for new dinnerware. The set we bought several years ago from JC Penny Home was down to just a few bowls and plates and we were running out of dishes before the dishwasher was full. I learned a lot in my…
