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 …

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 …
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 …
Working as an event planner, I have multiple events going on each month so I must be organized in order to make the events successful. To bring in both color and organization to my office, I created a bright fabric covered cork board. This project was so much fun to complete! It cost less than …
How was your Memorial Day Weekend? We spent time with family and friends, ate hamburgers at least 3 different times and spent practically every minute (except sleeping) outdoors. Our little boy is covered in scratches and bruises from playing hard, but he LOVED it. #3dayweekend I’ve been hearing the song, Cornerstone, by Hillsong at church …
On Monday I shared my DIY Wooden Spoon Herb Markers and you got a glimpse of my blue herb planters too. We had these faux-stone {actually plastic} planters leftover from the previous owners. Instead of tossing them, we kept them around, thinking a coat of spray paint might fix ’em up. And now I love …
On the search for some herb markers? Look no further than this simple craft project, Wooden Spoon Herb Markers. They’ll add a happy pop of color to the herb garden for only a few bucks. My mom was in town this weekend and we visited the local Peddlar’s Mall. I had been trying to decide …
When we moved into our house I knew thismuch about gardening. After 4 years, I’d say that now I know *thismuch*. Definitely an improvement, but still a long way to go. Why did it take 4 years to learn so little about gardening? In short, I worked alot and spent what DIY time was available …
Learn how to get grease off of vinyl siding with this simple step-by-step tutorial. This mixture will clean a grill’s oil splatter off vinyl siding. Often times, mistakes can come with being a new home owner. In our first home, we grilled near our house and unknowingly splattered grease and cooking oils all over the …
So… it’s no secret that I love IKEA! Seriously….my house is 90% IKEA furniture. One of my favorite IKEA pieces in my home is this white cabinet (no longer available) in my bedroom. Since the walls in my room are off-white, the cabinet tends to blend in so I wanted to add something to make …
How was your weekend? The Kentucky Derby was on Saturday and it was a rainy day at Churchill Downs. In fact, the whole weekend has been rainy here in the Bluegrass. Here’s to hoping for some sunshine soon. Over the last several weeks Mike and I have been doing some work outdoors. I am counting …
I love Gallery Walls. My favorite gallery walls are made up of eclectic frames and interesting art. After months of collecting and creating our entryway, I love our Gallery Wall. Creating a Gallery Wall can be a little intimidating at first. The first one I finished is in our son’s nursery (nope, I haven’t shared …
A little over a month ago I shared the plan and inspiration for our Entry Way Makeover. It has come a long way since that “before” photo and we are loving the new space. Our Entry Way is now full of color and personality, but totally functional too. I love it when a room looks …
How was your weekend? It was a long weekend for us and we had lovely weather, which meant more Spring projects around here! I painted another door in Celebration Blue, finished up a project for our entry way and planted some flowers. My little guy also got to plant his first flower. That is his …
Hello, April. I hope you bring some Spring weather with you. If you choose not to bring Spring weather, then I will just have to pretend. Over the weekend I completed one of the final projects in our entry way — which also happens to be a nice big dose of Spring happiness. A freshly …
