Moody Powder Room
The little ones are back in school and Mommy has her paint brush back out. I had a can of paint I was going to use in the game room for an accent wall but decided against that. The downstairs guest bath needed some paint, so here we go. I painted all 5 walls. Who...
Game Room
One week ago we decided to give the Game Room a quick update. We needed to move the computer out of there and into an open spot where we could supervise the kids on it. Now the computer is in our loft and we needed to make a spot for Joe to work from home. The...
Watching the grass grow
Or at least that’s how it feels. I wanted to show some front yard pics since we first moved in and things were just planted. Everything has really taken off. Obviously I have some weeding and cleaning up to do, but these are to show how everything...
Guest Room Curtains
The old satin pink curtains that I sewed for the Guest Room just didn’t work overall. Nothing seemed cohesive. Originally I thought the pink ceiling would flow downward into the curtains, but no. These new curtains from Anthropologie tie the pink ceiling and...
Craftsman Style Window Trim
I have never met a harder working husband than Joe. He busts his butt day in and day out to make sure the kids and I are happy. He works a long day and then spends his days off building stuff, cooking meals, tending to the day to day hustle and bustle of family, dogs,...
Spring has Sprung! (in the bedroom)
The conversation started a while back. “We really need a new mattress honey.” “I know, my back hurts and ours is 12 years old!” Then Joe got paid out for some old vacation time he didn’t use and it seemed like a good time to finally...
Master Bathroom updates
In the Master bath I added some new touches that I think give it a much brighter happier feel. I painted the walls white in a Satin Finish first off. Because who likes Flat paint in a bathroom? I made this cute little cafe curtain in a Navy blue pointelle...
Laundry Room
I did an Instagram post a while back with a sneak peak into the laundry room, but never got around to blogging about it. Here is it, pretty much finished (except for a laundry sink I am desperately waiting on.) The ceiling was painted with gray and white...
Guest Bath
Down stairs in the guest room bath there have been a few changes, but nothing too drastic. This is one space where I really want to add wallpaper, but after wall papering our dining room, we are on a hiatus! Plus it’s just so expensive so we need to budget for...
