All about Bedrooms
… Bedrooms should be an important space in your home. After all, it is where you sleep, relax, and find rest. I’m sharing some bedroom design ideas to give you some inspiration so that you can create your own serene living space. Let’s start with my own master bedroom: Before: First things first, pick your bed wall/feature wall. A good rule is to use the uninterrupted wall. Don’t be afraid to put your bed against a window, or if you don’t have a window frame your bed with curtains to make a statement. The goal here, your bed wall is the focal point of the space. You can see the…

All about Living rooms
… Hello again, today I’m sharing all about living rooms. I thought this could kind of be a on stop shop. You can shop at the bottom of this post, easy decor items to update your space are linked below! Here are 3 main tips to update or refresh a living room: 1. Paint – Giving your walls/trim a fresh coat of paint will change the look and feel of the whole room. I recommend sticking to neutral colors on the walls. If you love a pop, you could use a contrast color above your sofa wall or fireplace wall. Here’s a great example: ••this photo belongs to @cottonandpineinteriors 2.…

… I wanted to share this nook in our daughters room with you all. We first thought we wanted it to be added storage space, but then we thought about making it into our desk area for our girls!

All about open shelving!
… I wanted to share our open shelves in our kitchen with you guys. I always get a ton of questions when I share them so I thought I would give you guys the info here on the blog. We recently completed a huge home renovation and our kitchen was one of the spaces we chose to update. You can see the before here. The boards we used for the shelves are 2×12 southern pine boards, cut to length + sanded round the edges. We stained them in early American stain. You can also rub butcher block sealer on top for easy cleaning. We got the brackets off of Amazon.…

Easy DIY garland
.. Today with our girls, I am making a super easy fruit garland to add to our tree. It’s a fun activity to get the kids involved in helping and away from the devices if you know what I mean! I used limes, oranges, and grapefruit. I sliced them thin, see here below: I preheated our oven to 200 or the lowest setting. Lined a few baking sheets with parchment paper and put the fruit slices on them. I put the pans in the oven for 2 hours, then I flipped them and put them back in for 3 hours. After that, I left them to dry out overnight then…

DIY bathroom wall
.. I have been dying to add a little something extra to our stark white guest bathroom. I was inspired by some friends on Instagram as well as Rae Dunn’s art on my drinking glass! I love this pattern: I had some extra fusion mineral paint and a few sponges so I thought I would give it a shot. Took me about 20 minutes total. Here’s my supplies and the paint I used: I love this color by fusion mineral paint! It’s called “Damask” and it’s a mauve’ish pink. I simply poured a little paint on a paper plate and dipped my sponge in the paint, then I got the…

When we first bought our home, the first project we tackled was painting our kitchen cabinets. I called it phase 1…

Girls bathroom reveal
.. Thank you Vintage Tub and Bath for sponsoring this post! The opinions expressed in this post are my own. I grew up in the house my Mother grew up in. We all shared one bathroom. I always dreamed of having my own space with a vintage claw foot tub like you see on the princess movies. That was my inspiration for our girls’ bathroom! Let’s start with a good before of the space! We gutted the space down to the studs. Since the existing space had a walk in shower, I knew to stay on budget, I needed to order a stand alone tub. I found an amazing set…

Our Kitchen with Sinkology

I am so thankful to have our kitchen back! If you have been through a recent renovation, you know what I am talking about.

We love that it opens up to our dining area. When we started our renovation,…
