Yeah, so, we’re having a baby… … like, possibly, next week! Back in the summer when we were working on our bathroom renovation — it got seriously slowed down. I didn’t share why at that point; but morning sickness was the culprit. I thought I’d share after the 20-week ultrasound… but then life just got …

I’ve pinned many a room in which a homeowner has decorated a small, unexpected spot. wall art tucked into the corner, beside a bookcase // via BHG I just love these little surprises. garland hung at the foot of a child’s bed frame // via A Little Glass Box A simple, unique detail, that …
Curtains {or Drapes — apparently they aren’t exactly the same thing… who knew?} aren’t cheap. Our new home is filled with windows — which is one of my favorite things about it. However, it’s a pricey investment to adorn all these lovely windows. My first instinct was IKEA for curtains — unfortunately it’s over 3 …
A few weeks ago I shared how to apply a watercolor effect to a photo. Those photos are hanging in our dining room just below two small gold frames. I wanted to keep the watercolor vibe going; but without competing with the special photos of our son. Since it’s a dining room, I created two …
Well, it’s Thanksgiving week… and in only a few short weeks it will be Christmas and the close of 2014. As always, the year went sooo fast. We’ve been in our new home for almost one year and though there is plenty still to do, we’ve gotten so much done. Including some more-important-than-decorating things — …
Did you know that you can create a watercolor effect with your own photos? I used the Watercolor Filter {Filter -> Artistic -> Watercolor} in Photoshop Elements; but there are other ways to achieve this effect using more basic programs, like the Waterlogue App or the free Photo Editing program called “Gimp.” You may have …
White rooms have been a huge trend over the last several years. It took me awhile to warm up to the idea and it wasn’t until our bathroom renovation that we actually painted a room white. I wanted our bathroom to feel warm and bright. There is only one small window in the room, so …
Last week I shared our finished bathroom. The goal of this post is to get all the sources, links and tutorials into a single location. If I missed something you are interested in, let me know! Wall Color – Delicate White by Porter Paint in Hi-Hide Interior Latex Marble Vanity Top – Honed Carrara …
One of my favorite details in our bathroom is the wood towel hooks. I purchased these wood dowels over a year ago at the Indie Arts & Vintage Marketplace in Indianapolis. However, you could purchase similar wood dowels like this to create your own towel hooks. You’ll need a dowel screw like one of these …
Yes, it’s been over six months since we shared the plan. Truthfully, much of it has been done for a while and it was just a few details that still needed to be wrapped up. We’ve been using the space, and loving it, for several months. I’ve got some more to share with you about …
On Monday, I’ll be sharing the reveal of our bathroom renovation… so excited! For today, I wanted to document the sights, sounds and smells of our first-ever reno because even though these photos aren’t pretty, they remind us of all we did! I guess this post is kind of a “scrapbook” for me — a …

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 …
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 …
