I’m a few weeks away from swapping out apples for pumpkins so I wanted to do something with the fall inspired entry that would make the transition into Thanksgiving a seamless one. This project took a few minutes and is something that anyone can replicate. Here’s how all of the details came together…
It all started last year when I was decorating the front porch for fall. The salt air, marsh winds and coastal rains had caused the front door to become faded and worn. It made my whole porch look tired. I’ve tried a lot of different paints over the past few months but there’s been one paint in particular I’ve wanted to try. Enter Modern Masters, Front Door Paint.
A few months ago my Mom found a kitchen island she LOVED. But it was several thousand dollars over budget. I know, right? My Dad promised he could build her an island she would love just as much.
I was out treasure hunting one day last week when I found an awesome rug. It was rolled up and taped up yet even though I could only see the corner of the rug the pattern was perfection. The price was amazing. So, I decided to take the chance and bring it home to clean it. Here are a few tips cleaning a thrifted area rug…
One of my favorite projects was a set of Driftwood Inspired Trail Signs I made for the home office. We were looking for a way to incorporate fun memories from our many hikes and they were a perfect fit. With summer winding down I thought I would share with you how easy they are to make in case you want to make some too. They’re a simple way to highlight meaningful moments, favorite travel destinations, or even significant dates in your home.
The same day my mom and I worked to complete the neutral inspired chair transformation for Loblolly Manor, we started working on a set of chairs for one of my sisters.

I’m in the midst freshening up some of my favorite spaces at home. I still love the direction everything is headed with warm neutrals and varying shades of white. I recently had the opportunity to review a Weatherwood stain called Reclamation so we built a cabinet to hold my growing ironstone collection.
One my favorite things about the back patio is the porch swing. I’ve wanted a porch swing for as long as I can remember. We found a set of plans that were relatively easy to follow and set about creating a frame for the swing. This is a job that took both of us to complete, so if you’re thinking about doing this yourself, make sure you have a buddy.

It’s no secret that I love the smell of laundry drying out in the sunshine. But there are some things I don’t want to be seen on the clothesline, if you know what I mean. Thankfully, we’ve figured out a way to build an indoor drying rack for the laundry room. Here’s how it all came together in case you want to build your own too.
