Since we’ve moved into our new home, we’ve already rearranged several rooms {& several times!}. It’s like you kind of have to feel out the house… live in it for awhile… in order to decide which pieces of furniture make sense in which space. Has anyone else experienced this after a move? We just moved …

Flanking each side of our dining room buffet are upholstered linen chairs. I had a pillow on each one; but they felt too big for the depth of the chair. Pillows still aren’t out of the question; but I’d have to find some small ones. In either case, I thought something draped over the chair …

“Smoky Black & White Paint” // Order this print HERE A long, long time ago… when this blog was only about a month old… I shared 3 prints that were hanging in my kitchen during the holidays. The mats are covered in burlap and actually hung in the kitchen throughout the year — just not …

  We’ve got a small window in our bathroom. I love the light it provides; but I’ve been kind of puzzled as to how to finish it off. It seems silly to cover much of it {due to the light} and it doesn’t need to be functional since the glass is frosted. While shopping at …

Just a week ago, I mentioned that I try to use meaningful items in our home. One cherished item that we’ve been looking forward to hanging in our new home is this painting of our first home. Last week, while working on the dining room, I came across this painting and several other special pieces. …

Awhile back, I picked up some bamboo trays from a consignment store {$3 each}  — for exactly this purpose. When I organized my office, I stored the paper in the blue bin shown below. However, storing printer paper upright can cause it to bend. Even a slight curvature can affect how easily the paper will …

We moved our buffet {formerly used as a TV Stand} into the dining room last week. Since we’ve moved in to this home, I haven’t really had a surface to style and decorate with pretty things. So as soon as we got the walls painted, I was ready to bring together a mix of pieces …

  One of our first-ever purchases from Ikea was this red clock. We loved the unique, modern shape and it fit perfectly in the fun, bright color scheme we had planned for the basement in our old house. This was one of the first rooms that we decorated in that home. I still like the …

I like coral as an accent color and have seen it used beautifully in some dining rooms. Like this: via Remodelaholic // via Tracey Interiors But I just don’t feel the same way about the coral walls in our dining room {and hallway… and stairwell}. We’re just more of a neutrals, blues and greens type …

Our Master Bedroom has a pretty small closet — it is only 2′ deep and 4.5′ wide. When we moved in, there was a single clothing rod and one shelf. Within a few months we purchased some pieces of Closetmaid from Lowes and installed a double clothing rod system. This was a HUGE improvement and …

How was your long weekend? Did you work on any home projects or simply relax? We were on a Mission Trip with our church and it was a great week {& holiday weekend} to serve together and celebrate together. It’s been a little quiet around the blog as Erica and I have been enjoying these …

Recently we completed a sweet little set of custom prints. This trio of prints was designed for a nursery. I love talking with our clients, from learning what has inspired the art {in this case, a new baby!} to seeing their choice of color combinations. In this case, the colors were based on the nursery …

  So it’s time to discuss vanity tops. A few weeks ago when I shared our marble vanity top I mentioned that I wanted to share about the decision-making process. Choosing a vanity top was a much lengthier and more expensive process than we expected.   If you recall from our original plan, we were …

Some of our long-time readers may remember that I’m no gardening expert {see my beginner tips here and what I learned at the farmer’s market here}. However — green thumb or not — I still love to look at pretty flowers! Earlier this spring, a friend of ours told me about a home and garden …

I love to re-purpose items for organization. If you saw my post on Monday, you know I’ve already been chatting about that topic this week. Here is another affordable option for storage, that you can find at your local dollar store. Mike and I were shopping in the dollar store for some Vacation Bible School …
