We are in the process of selling our first house and doing it DIY style too — as in For Sale By Owner (FSBO). This post is part of a series called, Home for Sale, in which I’ll share some of the details of our FSBO journey. This spring I spent some time sharing how …

One thing we haven’t done often enough on this blog, is sharing some Etsy Love. We have a shop ourselves, and we love to buy from other crafters, but we haven’t shared much about any of them here. Well, today I’m sharing a painting with you that’s just too pretty not too share. Mike’s birthday …
Back in May, I told you about my adventures as a beginner gardener. Well, since we’re moving, I figured that I should share an end of summer update so you could see how my plants have done. I have already commissioned my neighbors to give me an update on our flowers {and maybe snap a …
Last Monday, I showed you our window seat. Today, my husband, Mike, is making his blog-world debut to tell you what we learned while building the window seat in our living room. Supplies 2x4s Beadboard Plywood Self-Drilling Wood Screws Piano Hinges Wood Trim {we used scraps from other projects} Finishing Nails Paintable Caulk Wood Filler …
Several weeks ago I shared our Home Tour, which included the Living Room — and a project I shared a sneak peak of in this post — the Window Seat. I’m going to give you a little background info today and then Mike {my hubby} will be back on Thursday with a “guest-post” of sorts …
How was your weekend? We took a short two-day trip to our new hometown for Mike’s first day in his new job, a little house shopping and getting to know our new church family. They have been such a blessing to us and we are excited to finish selling our home so that we can …
Erica and I love to thrift shop {ohhh-kay, maybe we just like to shop in general}. But even with all my thrifting, yard sale-ing, and consigning, I’ve never bought one thing off Craigslist. That is, until Tuesday. I wasn’t even on Craigslist to shop. I’d seen a blogger who had done a kitchen remodel and …
Learn how to restore a deck with Rustoleum Deck Restore. With this step-by-step tutorial and product review, you can restore a weathered deck over the weekend (and at a fraction of the price it costs to replace the deck!). Well, I know I just shared our Patio Reveal back in June, but it’s already experienced …
I missed writing to you all last week; but it’s been super busy at our house as we’ve been preparing to move! Mike was the Family Pastor at a small church here in Lexington up until about a year and a half ago. It was a church start that we loved dearly and were so …
Last Thursday I shared about the antique dresser that I’m using in our Guest Bedroom to store craft supplies. As promised, today I’m going to share 5 unique ways to use a dresser — none of which are to store clothing! There are so many ways to use dressers. And in so many different rooms …
Back in the days before I blogged… I decorated a room for a very special little boy. But, we didn’t know he’d be a boy. When we found out I was pregnant, we chose to keep the gender a surprise, which meant creating a space that a little boy, or a little girl, would love. …
I’ve been slowly updating the Guest Bedroom. It’s a multi-functional room, for sure. Not only is it the resting spot for our overnight guests, but it also serves as a mini-office — and now, craft storage space too! See that lovely old wooden chest of drawers in the corner? All my DIY storage is located …
REDIRECTED TO SUNROOM REVEAL Maybe it’s the recent “One Room, 3 Ways” challenge or the tablescapes that I’ve been creating out on the patio; but I’ve been in the mood to mix up my decor. Not necessarily to leave it that way, but to challenge myself to use the items I already own in a …
Happy 4th of July! We’re hoping to spend some time outside today. I’d like to say we’d be eating on our patio, but we’ve got a deck DIY project going on right now. Hopefully, I can share some photos next week! After I shared the reveal of my completed Patio Makeover last Monday, it just …
The best part about a breezy summer evening is being able to eat outdoors. There is just something about being able to relax, chat and eat with family and friends while also enjoying God’s creation. Since I just finished our Patio Makeover, I thought it’d be fun to dress up the table for some outdoor …
