Summer side dish
I’m sorry for being so lax about the blog lately. It has been a long relaxing summer with the kids all home. It’s so hard to get home projects done in the summer for some reason. Maybe’s it’s the heat. The humidity. The relaxed family...
New Jenny Lind Toddler Bed in da’ house
Hope you all had a great 4th of July weekend! We got to enjoy a fun kid’s parade, go swimming at our local pool, cook out on the grill and enjoy some fireworks with the neighbors. A fun filled day for all. And sorry this post is a little late, but with rain in...
Jenny Lind Toddler Bed

Giving a bookshelf a little update
E.claire’s room is coming along nicely. We had a few things to change up to fit in with the new color scheme (Navy and Coral.) And if I can give furniture a new life, I will. This is the bookcase I had in mind when I decided to paint something. I...

Our floors are done in the whole house! Woot Woot! As you may recall from last week we ripped out the carpet in our bedroom and it was looking like this last week. Well it’s all finished and I can’t wait to show you what a huge difference...
