This quaint little breakfast nook, with a nod to farmhouse style, actually came together rather quickly. It wasn’t even on my decorating radar for 2016, but then we decided to sell our home… and plans changed. What an unexpected surprise, because we are loving this space in our home. Loving it not just for looks, but …
It’s been about 6 months since I shared our renovation plans for 2016… and, well, things have changed. I’ve been quiet around here, only posting a couple of times in the last few weeks. Some of that is due to a more, relaxed summer schedule; but mostly it’s because we are selling our home. Yep, …

Well, the floors are installed. It was so nice to come home from vacation to new floors. It added some anticipation to the long ride home! Too bad that we can’t set something like that up for the end of every vacation, right? 😉 We completed the entire upstairs, which includes the kids’ shared bedroom. …
The laundry room will have a similar vibe to the adjacent bathroom. It’s actually already pretty organized; but I’ll still probably add a few functional items. We have enough room for one of these slim laundry carts. Ours would be very slim — 6 inches at most — but still wide enough to hold household …
A little over a year ago, we installed marble vanity tops in our bathrooms. It took us awhile to make our decision {here is why we chose this vanity top}; but — after living with it for a year — are we glad we chose marble? ** Amazon affiliate links included in this post. Let’s …
Last summer, we bought a marble vanity top for our upstairs bathroom. Since marble comes in a slab, we went ahead and replaced the vanity in our main level bath, too. It was cheaper to do both at the same time than it would have been to replace them separately. Even though the marble vanity …
