You guys, I swear it feels like forever since we talked about starting on the home office makeover! We spent a few weeks researching decorative wall treatments like wainscoting, shiplap, tile, and paneling. Ultimately, we chose to install board and batten in the office because we felt it best fit the style of the rest of the house. Here’s a look at our experience in case you’re thinking about installing board and batten in your home too…
About this time last year, we embarked on a diy and decorating adventure called the One Room Challenge. It was so much work and yet so much fun turning my office from an outdated space into the beautiful and functional office of my dreams. So it’s in this same spirit we’ve decided to participate in the One Room Challenge again this year by making over a space that is WAY overdue, the master bedroom. Here’s a peek at our plans…

If you had a chance to read our post about the Spring Porch Tour on Tuesday you know it’s beginning to feel like spring around here. Just inside the front door is our entry that opens up to the dining room, so today, I thought I would share how we added a bit of spring to the entry too.
A couple of weeks ago my bestie S asked me to meet up at our local home improvement store. We needed to pick up a few supplies for the spring front porch and the office makeover. The terra cotta pots flanking each side of the front door are fairly large so we selected pretty flowers that were also budget friendly. Here’s a look at the plants we chose for the Spring Front Porch Tour…
I fully intended to keep this week’s posts, “business as usual” until sharing an update on Friday. But over the past 24 hours we have suffered yet another devastating loss and it seems insensitive to act as if things are fine when scenes from our week have been filled with hospitals, hugs and home goings. I had just finished a training run late last week when my mom called to say her dad who has been in hospice care had taken a turn for the worst. It was the day before our big race …
Happy Friday, you guys! How has your week been? I can hardly believe after three months of training tomorrow is the big race. 9.3 miles over 2 bridges. I know! I’m super nervous and super exited all at the same time. Here’s a peek at scenes from our week and a few fun things we found around the web…
Have you guys started decorating for Spring yet? Me too! If you’ve had a chance to follow along this week, we’ve shared simple spring inspired projects that you can use to decorate your home throughout the season. So today, I want to put all of those elements together and share a Spring Inspired Tablescape with you. Here’s a look at how the details came together…
We were looking for a way to create an easy centerpiece using various shades of greens that could easily be transitioned from St. Patrick’s Day to Easter when we stumbled upon succulents. We’re familiar with these beauties but this is the first time we’ve actually tried them in our home. Here’s a look at how you can make a Simple Succulent Centerpiece this spring with a little secret cheat tip too…
Happy Friday, you guys! This week, oh my word, THIS WEEK! It’s been a hard week…like a week from you know where. I’m so glad today is Friday and we can celebrate making it through the craziness. Thank you again so much for all of your patience, understanding and support as we navigate our way through these growing pains and growth spurts. Here are a few fun things we found around the web this week…
I can honestly say, talking about toilets or how to clean toilets is something I never imagined I would be sharing with you. But since we’re all friends and this product saved us from having to buy a new toilet, I had to share it. I’m thinking some of you have either had this problem or will have this problem in the future and I want you to be have a quick solution. So here’s how we discovered the best way to clean those unsightly hard water and mineral rings from our toilets and how you can too…
You guys, I have to tell you something super gross that happened to me the other day and I’m wondering if it’s ever happened to you. Do you label your cleaning sponges?
