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 …
Back in the early spring I purchased three hanging ferns. I wasn’t crazy about the green plastic pot they came in; but the price was good and I figured that I could replace the planter eventually. I mentioned a few weeks ago that we’ve been working on the exterior of our home, specifically the porch, …
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 …
The weather here has been beautiful and we’ve been trying to focus some attention on the exterior of our home. The front porch is nice and long with a wood-lined flower bed sitting directly in front of it. Here’s a photo from just before we purchased the house: Early in the summer we filled the …
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 …
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 …
