Hello, again! It’s been, um, years, since I’ve updated this blog? My how times flies. I put the blog aside back in 2018 when I began focusing full-time on my business nutsboltspaper.com. But I couldn’t ever bring myself to officially shut it down. I put years of hard work into building and creating relatable, helpful…

When we moved into our home 3 years ago, one of the first things we did was build a mudroom bench by the front door. With a family of 5 and seasonal weather, we knew we needed a place for shoes, hats, jackets, gloves, scarves and backpacks. I hacked some IKEA benches and created the…
When we moved into our first home almost 2 and a half years ago, we were very lucky to buy a flip. It was completely redone on the inside and it was move-in ready, save for a few minor details. There’s only one problem I see with most flips… unless your flip was done by Joanna Gaines…
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…
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,…
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…
