When we moved into our house 2 years ago, it was a great time to revamp my son’s nursery. I never really liked it to begin with, and it’s all because the walls were a terrible shade of yellow that we weren’t allowed to paint because we were renters. I tried to roll with it,…
The title of this post basically encompasses everything I am passionate about when it comes to home decor. Give me shiplap and give it to me on every wall. That’s how to make me a happy lady. So when we moved into our home 2 years ago and the walls were all textured, blank and…
I talked about my desire to simplify in 2017 when I blogged about my daughter’s birthday party and how I threw all the rules of today’s party-throwing society out the window. It was the opposite of Pinteresty and it was entirely put together with Target goods and Papa Murphy’s pizza. It was glorious. That’s just…
When we first moved into our Colorado home last year, it had been completely redone on the inside and sold as a flip. Obviously this had its perks, since we didn’t have to put a ton of money into fixing anything right off the bat. It was also a blank slate for me to decorate,…
I am really not a fan of Halloween decor. I mean, every October I really try to get in the mood, and I occasionally decorate from year to year; but it’s just really not my thing and I end up taking it down as quickly as I put it up. It’s hard for black and…
At the beginning of the summer, I sought out to overhaul our patio a bit and make it more of a livable space. Over the years, the Mr. and I have had lots of talks about extending our living area by creating outdoor spaces to hang out. We love the idea of a smaller house…
You may have heard me complain a time or two about the color of our house. The outside is painted the blandest beige I’ve ever seen. And the trim is another shade of beige (yay). It’s just middle-of-the-road and boring. Even our front door was beige, which left the outside looking so flat and one…
I hate mud. I hate wood floors and mud. I hate kids and mud. I’m type-A, after all, and messes freak me out. When we moved to Colorado from California, I realized I had a new battle to deal with: winter boots covered in snow and mud that just wouldn’t quit – oh, and 3…
Ok, so technically it is in the 30s right now and I have about 2 feet of snow blocking a good portion of my windows. But I won’t let winter’s last storms get me down; I’m thinking about sunshine and spring and backyard barbecues. It’s on its way, so I might as well begin preparations,…
Ever since we moved into our house in April 2015, I have wanted a new dining room table and chairs. Not only had my taste significantly changed from when we first purchased our modern-styled set some 4 or 5 years ago, but it really didn’t fit the space available in our new house. Our table…
