I was visiting this sweet blog last week and came across this incredible challenge to makeover ONE ROOM in six weeks! I was so torn because I really wanted to redo my deck for Cray’s upcoming party but that’s in two weeks not six weeks. However, here’s my key: I want to use as many […]

Last summer, I actually LEFT the thrift store after finding this gem. Meaning, I left without buying it! But, it was one of those things that I couldn’t stop thinking about. I called Russ. I called my mom. I sent this picture. And later that day, I went back and got it. I just knew […]

First of all, I was SO honored and amazed to be featured today over at Road Kill Rescue with our Yoga Mat Turned Kitchen Runner. You have got to go check out her amazing blog! She has so many ideas and treasures! This weekend, we finally accomplished a tad bit around the house! There’s something […]

My friend, Tammy, uses polka dots so well. She makes them look neutral, cute, and pretty all at the same time! One day, digging for something in the “linens trunk,” I saw a pretty fuzzy polka dot blanket and a light bulb went off! Just earlier that day, we were putting some items away and […]

A few weeks ago, I found a runner at TJ Maxx that I loved for my kitchen. I grabbed two because I debated if I only wanted it in my kitchen or if I should put one by the stairs. I really, really liked it. My mom was with me so of course, I had […]

This summer I was determined to make a dresser a vanity for our bathroom. I stalked Craigslist for the longest time looking for a dresser. Of course, once I finally found one, it didn’t work but I couldn’t pass up these legs! Sitting in my living room the wonky stripes had been bothering me somewhat. A big […]

I found this bar cart months ago and for some reason, my bathroom, not the kitchen or dining room, immediately came to my mind. Soon, I will do a full bathroom update but here is what our bathroom looked like BEFORE: Yeah, pretty bad. You see, our house sat empty for three years and there was a […]

This is a super easy update that makes a big impact! Ready? Paint your pantry door! I had seen various ideas from screen doors to bright colors as pantry doors and as the snow kept piling up down south, the more I was itching to do something! I don’t even know how to add more […]

Once upon a time, my fabulous in-laws offered us their refrigerator. Unfortunately, it was cream (I literally cannot find my before picture!). No big deal but next to white, I wasn’t thrilled. Russ was totally against it and convinced we should buy one. And then, our savings and money slowly started disappearing into this dream […]

December 30, 2013 As 2013 comes to a close, I’d like to nominate this guy for Father of the Year…just check this out: Yep. Hate it for the rest of you but my dad, CLEARLY won. He’s pretty much amazing. He was determined to build something after showing him links like this and this. I kept […]
