Remember when I said I was a Cheater? Well, the staircase is finally finished and we love it! We still need to pick out a carpet runner, but that might not happen for a long time because I am being really indecisive about it. (Find all the BEFORE pictures in this post HERE) The banisters […]

The Basement Craft Room: Under $300
Finally! I have finally finished {well, almost finished} my Basement Craft/Sewing Room! Remember when I had a really cute sewing room upstairs in the 4th bedroom? {click to see pictures} Unfortunately, that room never ever worked out because I work late at night and it was directly near the kids’ rooms…. and well, you know […]
New Foyer Light Fixture: Super Easy, Super Inexpensive
The LONG list of projects we have for this house includes switching out all of the dated, awful light fixtures that lurk around every corner. Unfortunately, this could be a very expensive upgrade if we went out and simply purchased brand new lights for every room! We have definitely been creative so far, in order […]
Board and Batten in the Dining Room
It feels like so long ago that we decided to revert our dining room from playroom back into a dining room! Here are some of those long forgotten posts here and here. Oh, and don’t worry, the kids are fine and didn’t even bat an eyelash at the removal of their toys. They now have […]
Faux Roman Shades in Family Room
We have been SO busy lately! Etsy orders, putting up board and batten in our dining room (more on that next week!), getting ready for Ainsley’s birthday party, etc etc etc. Here are a few quick photos of our family room…. surprisingly, I don’t know if I have ever shown pictures of our whole family […]
Next Step for the Kitchen? Any ideas?
There is definitely nothing “wrong” with our kitchen, but it needs some jazzing up, some life put into it, a touch of something. Problem is I don’t know what to do with it. We have all new appliances (yes, I chose black over stainless steel), recently hung new Oil Rubbed Bronze light fixtures, I spray […]
Time for a Living Room Update!
A long time ago, I started a few posts about redoing our living room. Check out the posts here and here. Well, it has been a loooong process only because we have had more important things to worry about (you know…kids, family, work, blah blah blah) However, I feel like we have finally made enough […]
My NEW Craft Studio Room!
I FINALLY have a room to call my own! So, so, so excited about this. Since we moved in about 6 months ago (has it already been half a year?!), I have been so disorganized with my craft/sewing stuff and it was driving everyone crazy. I had fabrics in almost every room, sharp pins were […]
The Master Bedroom
I am not loving our Master Bedroom right now. Nothing seems to work together, but we do our best to use what we have to make it somewhat okay. We already owned the furniture and the bedding. So we bought coordintating curtains and pillows from Pier One Imports. We also painted the walls Sherwin Williams “Comfort Gray”…. […]
The WORST Room in the House
I am sure that everyone has a room in their house that they loathe, hate, despise, cry over….right? Well, I definitely have that room and it’s our master bathroom. It is horrible, awful, ugly, and a waste of space. It’s one of those rooms that “appears” lovely and grand when you quickly glance at it, […]
Simple Front Door Makeover
I decided it was time to add something else to the front door that we recently redid . I simply cut out some vinyl lettering with my beloved Cricut machine and adhered them under the wreath. Cute and friendly, right? Before: After: Hello, friends!
The Kids’ Bathroom
We finally got around to fixing up the kids’ bathroom. While it’s currently adorable and fun, it won’t stay like this forever because we eventually want to have a bathroom for overnight guests to use without feeling like they are 5 years old. However, our kids love it and that is the main thing. The […]
Exterior Transformations
A while ago, I had mentioned that we wanted to eventually redo the outside of our house. Read about it here . Just a reminder of what our house looked like last week: Not bad, just not “us”! We hadn’t planned on doing anything just yet because of several factors, the biggest factor being money […]
House Renovations: Part 2
It’s been a real busy month! Refer here to see all the before and “semi-after” pictures of our house. We are nowhere near done, but it’s getting there at a snail’s pace. Notice there are still no pictures of the upstairs, aside from Ethan’s Room? That is because the rest of is just not even […]
