As I mentioned last week, my mom and I recently threw a double baby shower for my two sister in laws. The theme of the shower was Bows & Bow Ties since one baby will be a boy and one will be a girl.  The shower colors included pastel blue, yellow, and green. To see …

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 …

I am already an Aunt to two sweet little boys and in a few weeks, I’ll have another nephew and baby niece too! It’s an exciting time in our family as BOTH of my sister-in-laws are expecting and are due within weeks of each other. In anticipation of the new arrivals, my mom and I …

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 …

During the summer, I volunteer at my churches Vacation Bible School by teaching crafts to the six year old class.  Each year, we take the kids’ pictures and create a picture frame that they can use to hold their yearly VBS pic.  This year,  I chose to create a fun Photo Booth area in our …

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 …

  #1: I’m so Proud of Me! This past weekend I cut mitered corners and caulked trim. I feel so handy!! Can’t wait to share more. Here’s a sneak peak: #2: Yard Sales are the Best I spent about $20 on this eight foot long piece salvaged from an old general store in Owenton, Kentucky. …

A month-and-a-half-ish later and the Quick Patio Makeover is complete! There were some bumps along the way — literal bumps, in fact. My “E” went crashing to the ground after a big gust of wind. It’s a little “rough around the edges” {haha} but I decided to go the way of The Nester and know …

It’s officially been 6 months since I set my goals, so I figured it was time I checked in. Soooo… let’s see how my list is looking now. Kitchen: 75% Finished To Do: Add a rug Eventually, paint kitchen table, or get a new one Organize cabinets Make magnets for fridge, maybe with washi tape? …

Happy Monday! How was your weekend? We had gorgeous weather on Friday and I spent some time finishing up the details of our Quick Patio Makeover. It has been over a month since I shared the inspiration photos with you so it’s starting to feel like a “not-quite-so-quick” patio makeover, but we hit a couple …
