It’s been a while since Erica and I have shared a post simply about our thrifting adventures — so after a very successful outing last weekend, I thought it was time to share! Mike and I took the youth to Lexington last weekend, which is where we used to live and home to my favorite …

Well we moved into our new home 4 days before Christmas and there are still plenty of boxes around the house, but we’ve started working on our first makeover. Since we’ve challenged ourselves {and you!} to an Organizing Challenge, this project is what I’m working on for the Kitchen and Pantry week. I don’t have …
We are in our new home! We moved the Saturday right before Christmas. It was tons of work, super busy, and due to some traveling with the holidays — we are pretty much still surrounded in boxes. Oh, and we still don’t have wi-fi… so that has made the blog posting a little slow-going as …
Can you believe we are almost halfway into September? The last several months have gone by so fast. We have made some progress on a house we may be buying, as well as the one we are selling — but it’s still a little bit too early for me to share any details. On Monday, …
One thing we haven’t done often enough on this blog, is sharing some Etsy Love. We have a shop ourselves, and we love to buy from other crafters, but we haven’t shared much about any of them here. Well, today I’m sharing a painting with you that’s just too pretty not too share. Mike’s birthday …
While out shopping this weekend with Lora, I found this cute card on sale at Anthropologie. I love the colors, floral print, and the french saying which means “I love you.” I took French for 6 years and I love the language so I knew it would be a special addition to my work in …
How was your weekend? We took a short two-day trip to our new hometown for Mike’s first day in his new job, a little house shopping and getting to know our new church family. They have been such a blessing to us and we are excited to finish selling our home so that we can …
Erica and I love to thrift shop {ohhh-kay, maybe we just like to shop in general}. But even with all my thrifting, yard sale-ing, and consigning, I’ve never bought one thing off Craigslist. That is, until Tuesday. I wasn’t even on Craigslist to shop. I’d seen a blogger who had done a kitchen remodel and …
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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …
