15 Perennial Flowers That Are Easy To Grow
Spring is here! Or at least it is right around the corner. Utah can't seem to decide. Soon we will all be outside preparing and planting our flowerbeds. Before you run to the nursery, I thought I would share my favorite perennials. Perennials are plants that come back every year. Here are 15 perennials that are easy to grow! Salvia I love these purple spikes! They are one of the first plants to flower in my beds after the tulips have faded. This perennial does well in hot and dry places and prefers the sun. It will also tolerate part sun. It attracts butterflies and bees and will grow 1-2 feet tall. Peony Peonies are a favorite of mine for many reasons. They smell amazing … {READ MORE}
Fireplace Makeover {Giveaway!}
Phase one of my sister's basement is pretty close to being done and she will be ready to move things down there soon. Her basement being finished is what sparked all these projects at her house. Today I am sharing her fireplace makeover I finished up this week. Her dining, family room and kitchen are all one big space so when I painted her kitchen cabinets and refinished her dining room table, it made sense to spruce up the living area as well. This project was sponsored by HomeRight. Her fireplace was pretty standard builder's grade and pretty boring. It was made of the same wood as her cabinets and I went through the same process the prep and to paint it. I love the color we chose and … {READ MORE}
Raising Backyard Chickens
This post is from a few years ago but since I get asked about our chickens a lot, and because it is that time of year when baby chicks are showing up in feed stores, I thought we should revisit this topic. We love raising backyard chickens! We have since added a couple of bunnies to the mix and they do really well in the coop with the birds. The have burrowed under the hay and sleep there. Since we can't live on an actual farm, this is as close as we can get :) Why chickens? Well, it is pretty simple. I grew up in the country. We had horses, dogs, cats, chickens, and ducks. We also had an occasional other farm animal if I batted my eyes at my dad and pleaded while doing a … {READ MORE}
Crushing On: Space Saving Furniture
Space saving, multifunctional, or transforming. Whatever you choose to call these pieces of furniture that hide secrets, save space, or are used for more than one thing, I am a huge fan. I live in a cute little house with 5 other people and a dog. We need all the help we can get to make the most of our small space. These are some of my favorite space saving furniture ideas! I realized as I was putting this post together that I have never shared with you the photos of the secrets my fireplace holds. When I built it years ago, I had intended to post a tutorial on how I built it but never got around to it. The sides slide out and hold DVDs while the front panel opens to reveal the … {READ MORE}
Meet The Blogger {Sincerely Sara D}
I have really loved doing this series over the past year. I have one more blogger to share with you. She is as talented as she is sweet. I knew when I met her a few years ago that she was super genuine and someone I wanted to be around. Her home is just as welcoming as she is and just as beautiful. Meet Sara! Hi there! My name is Sara, and I blog about my DIY home decor adventures at Sincerely, Sara D. I am honored to be here with you all and am a big fan of Stacy's. We met several years ago at a blog conference, and Stacy was my mentor. She was (and still is) so kind, encouraging and helpful! The past few years have been crazy busy as we remodeled several … {READ MORE}
DIY Bench {Knock off Challenge}
Hello! I have not been as active blogging this month as I was hoping. I had a huge list of posts to work on and projects but two birthdays, school concerts, and sickness took over. But I did get one fun project crossed off my to-do list thanks to a knock off challenge hosted by my talented friend Katie from Addicted 2 DIY. I built a DIY modern bench. These were my inspiration. I found the ottoman first (a mere $350) and was going to make a knock off of it but I really had my heart set on making a bench so I found one very similar. I am not very experienced in the whole "knock off project" thing. I have only ever done one (the Pottery Barn Star) and I made it … {READ MORE}
Tips for Painting Kitchen Cabinets
This post is sponsored by HomeRight but all ideas and opinions are 100% my own :) Today is the day! I am finally sharing my sister's kitchen makeover. I have painted serval kitchens before and my own twice. This was the biggest kitchen I have ever painted and it took a little longer than I thought. I was planning on painting the doors and drawer fronts in my sister's unfinished basement since it is so cold and snowy here. But her contractor started mudding drywall sooner than expected and I had to bring them to my house and paint them in my one unfinished room. I had to paint the doors in shifts since there was so little floor space in there. But despite the bumps along the way, I got it … {READ MORE}

Valentine’s Day Decor that Transitions to Spring
My site has been down, or at least the backend of it. I couldn't access anything on the backend to make any changes, upload photos, or write any posts. So I have had this Valentine mantel done and photographed but I couldn't share it with you. Now in blogland, bloggers are suppose to get their holiday projects up early so it gives people time to plan and get ideas on what they want to do in their own homes. I stink at that so my post was only going to be up about a week before Valentine's Day. Now it is posting ON Valentine's Day. Major fail. BUT.... The silver lining in this is, my decor isn't too Valentine-y. Valentine--sih? Either way, it could be used for spring decor. So we are going to … {READ MORE}
