Our Christmas tree was so fun to decorate this year. Lots of handmade items and special ornaments. I went with a rustic, neutral theme with pops of red. I love how it turned out. … [Read more...]

Bonus Room Gallery Wall
This huge wall in our bonus room was screaming for a gallery wall. I didn't want to disappoint, so I worked on throwing this together. I was so nervous to put up the PRAY letters. I actually had the letters for a couple years before I attempted to put them on the wall. They weren't as hard as I thought they would be. I used painters tape and a level to have a strait line to follow. Then I used Velcro strips and placed them on the wall. It turned out! I tried to mix and match some whites, blacks, and wood tones throughout and a few handmade items. The book page wreath, the burlap wreath, the fabric wreath with buttons, and the cross stitch dear were all handmade. My PRAY letters were also handmade by my mom! I love how they turned out! I also added a couple family photos to the mix and a sweet photo of our baby girl London. Love having photos of her sprinkled throughout our house. This room is our huge bonus room and I feel like this wall really gives it a fresh, put … [Read more...]
Thrifted Items
Here are a few things I thrifted earlier this year that I never posted here. I'm a neutral loving gal and I love seeing my basket fill up with all my fun neutral finds. In these photos you can see how much I love neutrals, shoe forms, and mason jars. I love thrifting, though I am super tempted to buy all the things. In a regular store I can pass things by, knowing I can come back if I really want it. When I'm thrifting I'm so worried if I don't get it, it will be gone the next time I stop by. Does anyone else have this issue? Any tips on how to work through it? … [Read more...]
Kitchen Basket Valance
This was such a fun project, one I have wanted to do for awhile now. I was inspired by a photo I saw on Instagram a few months ago on Diana Gray's account. You can find the link to her Instagram account here and scroll down a bit to find the picture. I thrifted the baskets over a few months and when I had enough, Steve helped me put up the rod and it all came together quite quickly. I love simple projects. I also love projects that are whimsical and a bit out of the ordinary. I would like to add curtains that go halfway up the window, but I will get to that someday. Right now I'm pleased with how this all came together. … [Read more...]

Master Bathroom Update
Our master bath is coming together. The mirrors are up, the blinds are installed, the countertops and bookshelf are styled and organized, and items are up on the wall. We still have a few things to do. We need a door handle for the water closet door, a trim piece still needs to be installed where the countertop meets the cabinet, and we need a hand towel, bath towel, and toilet paper hardware installed. I would also like a stool by the tub for shampoo, soap, and conditioner, and I would love to paint the bookshelf white and the shelf by the door white where I can store some of my essential oils. So close and so excited to finally be finishing this space. Master Bathroom Update October 2018 Remodel Update June 2018 Let the Remodel Begin January 2018 … [Read more...]
Old Window & Time
Sometimes I wonder, if I just worked a little harder or was a little more organized, could this remodel move forward any faster? Could all these projects finally get checked off my list? Could I get back into working on my kids memory books or finally starting, really starting on organizing my grandmother's photos? If I could just get my act together, would I finally be able to organize all my drawers and cupboards and get out to the garage to finally work through all those bins and boxes. This old window sat in my entryway for months, waiting for me to hang it up on this wall. There were many reasons this window took me so long to hang up, but one afternoon I just decided I was going to do it. I had to jump through a few hoops in finding the stud and securing the screws in the wall, but by that evening this pretty window was up on the wall and the result was pure happiness. Such a little spot in a corner of my home that brings me such joy. This project, this tiny completed … [Read more...]
