I used to go thrifting ALL THE TIME years ago and I still have a lot of those pieces dispersed throughout my home. It is amazing what a little paint and time can do and I love finding random treasures that I can turn into something beautiful. A few months ago, on a much needed […]
The last few months we have been slowly working on the landscaping on the side of our house. We have done brick pavers; go here to see how we saved hundreds of dollars on these by using a $30 product! Along with the pavers, we installed a flagstone path, added new trees and some plants. […]
When you walk into someone’s home, what is the first thing you notice? If you are like me, you probably get a good feel for the home within 10-20 seconds of coming through their door. The decor, textures, the smells, the lighting; it all creates a vibe. And if that vibe is good, it can […]
I wanted to buy some cool bookends for an area of our home and after searching came across some concrete ones that I liked and I thought to myself, I could probably make those with the leftover concrete mix I had from my cement wall project. And so, I did! First step was choosing what […]

It is only the 7th but this month has already felt super busy! May is always one of our busiest months, end of school stuff, 2 of our daughter’s birthdays, sports, graduations, and landscaping projects. In-between games last weekend we decided to try out black mulch instead of the typical lighter brown we usually lay […]
I am a tad embarrassed to share these photos with you all but I think a lot of us have those spaces, whether in our homes or yards, that we just don’t pay much attention to. One of those spaces is pictured down below. This side of our house we have neglected (obviously), other things […]
Last spring I painted our porch, white, using the Porch & Patio low lustre enamel floor paint from Behr. You can see that post HERE. I have always used this product and have always been super happy with it except for the fact that it does get slippery when it gets wet. A few weeks […]
