On a whim, I decided to paint the fireplace in our dining room. It’s a fireplace we normally don’t use very often (we have another in the living room) because truthfully, we don’t use this dining room very much. And the reason is that eventually, it’s all going to be ripped out and replaced […]

It’s funny how one project can quickly lead to another, which can lead to another, which can lead to another. After completing our DIY built-ins (post HERE) it left our buffet without a home. So, I rearranged some furniture a little bit and put it in our dining room. In doing that, I then had […]
This DIY project is one of my very favorites. A little outside-the-box. A little risky (that’s a lot of nail holes!). And, possibly time-consuming. But, I knew it would make a statement, so I went for it! And friends, I cannot take any of the credit for creativity here, as I saw this idea from […]
As I wrote about in THIS post, we decided to build built-ins on a complete whim. So much of a whim that I didn’t even get a chance to take any true before photos. (FAIL!) The two photos below are super old photos I happened to find that kind-of show the wall we wanted to build […]
Just over two weeks ago I sat in our living room staring at our huge blank wall and randomly asked my husband what he thought about building built-ins for that large space. We have vaulted ceilings in our living room with light-colored walls, so one of the first things my husband did when we moved […]
Hi friends! On a whim, my husband and I decided to build a very large structure in our living room, and it is looking like it was always meant to be there! Since we were taking away two chairs in order to make room for this, we decided to incorporate a bench for extra seating. After researching bench […]
Happy New Year, friends!! How are you doing? Did you make it through the holidays okay? I will admit, I struggled a little bit! Everything included in the holidays can be a little overwhelming and I was feeling it. BUT! It’s a new year, and a fresh start, and I am LOVING the thought of […]
Many of us have Christmas traditions that we look forward to every year, and one of my very favorites is getting in our cozies, bundling up, and hopping in the car to go look at Christmas lights with hot cocoa in hand. One thing we do to make it a little extra fun, though, is […]
Christmas is wonderful for so many reasons, and one of my very favorite parts about Christmas is receiving my friend’s and family’s Christmas cards! I love getting the mail and seeing which cards have arrived, and I truly enjoy seeing all of my people during this season! But, one discouraging thing about the Christmas cards […]
Hello, friends! The other day I was getting lunch in my fridge and noticed I randomly had a bunch of rosemary I wasn’t planning on using and thought, “how can I use this as decor?” since it immediately reminded me of Christmas. Well, after digging through my craft supplies and finding some brown pipe cleaner, […]
