I’d venture to guess that most of us don’t have huge renovation budgets. Even if we are able to set aside a decent budget, most of us still research affordable alternatives and money-saving options within that budget. For example, when we started tackling our bathroom renovation, we purposely set aside certain projects as DIY and …
Our guest bathroom renovation is complete. Amazon Affiliate Links are included in this post. This may not be a surprise to some of you, but do-it-yourself renovation projects take time. Sometimes, it feels like we are moving at a snail’s pace. We started stripping wallpaper back in June of 2015 {yes… nearly a year ago}. The …
Over the years, I’ve gotten pickier when it comes to buying throw pillows. They can be so trendy and tempting in the clearance aisle; but unless they have a removable cover and a high-quality insert, I probably won’t purchase. For example, our patio set was a great end-of-season deal. However, the cushions drive me crazy because the …
We all have different visions for our homes, but many of us would like to create a cozy home: – a home that feels welcoming and warm – a home that makes hospitality simple – a home that keeps everyday life relaxed. These are a few of the ways that I’d describe the vision for my home. What …
Have you seen this Gardener’s Cottage from Country Living Magazine? There is so much that I love about this home {go check out the tour for yourself}; but today I’m focusing on the country-style, garden porch. I shared it via Facebook several weeks ago and have been using it as inspiration for our outdoor spaces. Country Living Which — …
Learn how to make a boxwood wreath! This natural wreath is beautiful and simple, easily made with fresh boxwood clippings. Sometimes, less is more. That’s the case with this wreath that I shared during Monday’s spring entryway tour. It’s petite and delicate. Maybe it’s the light feeling of spring, but I wanted to do something simpler …
You’ll be pleased to know, that my door has been dressed. Much better, right? Today, several blog friends and I are joining together for a Spring Tour Blog Hop. We’re each sharing a room in our home and how it’s been updated for Spring. Even though I don’t typically put much time into seasonal decorating, …
Don’t assume that just because a piece of furniture is small, that it can’t serve you well in terms of storage. Our small nightstand organization is actually helping in the overall goal of an organized Master Bedroom. If you recall, our small-ish Master Bedroom only has one narrow closet. In order to maximize storage, but leave ample floor …
I can be a picky shopper. Our nightstand search is the perfect example. It began last summer – yes, as in nearly 9 months ago. I didn’t expect that finding a small nightstand would be so difficult; but I kept running into the same problems. Too short. Our bed sits high so that we can …
This is the superhero landing zone family room in our home. My son likes to jump off the couch {he’s not allowed to do this; but you know how that goes} while being a superhero…. fighting a ninja… normal family room things.

Shiny brass hardware is a staple in homes that were built during the 80s — and if you have a home full of this dated hardware finish — what do you do? You’ve got two options, right? (1) Replace it — or (2) live with it. Nope… do both. MIX IT UP Mixing is significantly …
We’ve got 90 sq ft for a guest bath, laundry room and mudroom. It’s small; but it must be hard-working. That space must provide us coat hooks, towel hooks and hanging space for laundered clothes — plus ample storage. Oh, and I’d like it to be pretty. That is why the most important detail — …
It’s been awhile since I’ve done a Kick-Off Friday {inspiration for projects that can be completed over the weekend, see more Kick-Off Friday projects here} and since it’s been snowy and cold here in Kentucky, I thought I’d focus on a little indoor gardening. These 8 succulent projects will let you dream of spring while enjoying …
We’ve checked off all but 3 items on our Laundry Room to-do list. Our cabinets must be painted; but I’m torn on the color. Navy would be an obvious option, since we’ve already used it on the vanity in the adjacent bathroom. via Style at Home via Style at Home via Lily Pad Cottage via …
