Ready for a long, but worth-every-image post? Hope so. Last week, I alluded to the fact that we were organizing/updating my craft space, and Monday I posted a giveaway to clear out my fabric stash. After a long weekend, and several late nights, I’m so happy to say it’s done! And this post has the …
As you all know by now, canvas art is an easy, impactful and inexpensive way for me to update my home décor. I’ve created LOTS of canvas art in the past, and I have yet another to share here today. The best part about adding paint to canvas is that it’s so easy to tweak …
Yep-there’s no turning back now! The two walls that separated our kitchen from our living and dining spaces are gone. This is only phase 1 of about a million, but it’s a huge step in the right direction. Here’s the before… …and the after: So far I’m cautiously optimistic about our progress. We have a …
Happy Monday, friends! As I mentioned in my post last Monday, we had a get-together here for our baby’s baptism celebration last weekend….and, as typical for us, we decided to start a house project that very week.

Hello, friends! Pardon my absence from the blog last week…turns out I really can’t do it all (who knew)? The truth is, we’ve been doing a long-awaited, can’t-wait-till-it’s-done basement family room redo (goodbye icky carpet!), and house projects can tend to put a kink in our normal routine. Anyway, I hope this post makes up …
I’ve wanted to create a plate wall in my home for a while now, and while I’ve always hung plates on the wall, it’s never been a focal point….I think making all those holes in my wall makes me a bit nervous. I don’t like doing much to my home that I can’t undo when …
Hello, Lovelies! I’ve gotten a few compliments/questions about my living room window treatments lately, so I wanted to share this post from three years ago with you all…and you know the window treatments are a winner when they’re still up three years later:) I’ve been eyeing the drop cloth curtain trend for a while now. And though …
I really love using mirrors in my home. I have at least one per room, and I love that they can be pretty, functional, and make the space feel larger.

Happy Monday! Just a quick Baby Girl update-I am out of the hospital and currently on at-home bedrest.
