Our Happy Place is Burning {Wildfires in Utah}
If you know me at all, even a little bit, you know my love for the mountains runs deeps. My appreciate for nature is intertwined into every aspect of my life. How I spend my weekends, where we vacation, how I decorate our home. Even the topic I chose for my book (Natural Accents). I've been visiting these mountains by our house my entire life. They are my view outside my windows. Of all the mountains in Utah, the mountains directly in front of our house are the greenest. It probably annoys Shane, but every single time we drive along I-15 which runs parallel with the mountain range, I comment about how our mountain, our peak, is the prettiest. One thing I am proud of is that I have instilled … {READ MORE}
Fall Mantel {Pink and Magenta!}
The leaves have just started to change color in the mountains near our home. We took some time this weekend to drive up and gather some leaves. I had already picked up some mums and white pumpkins at the nursery so I threw together a Fall mantel. A huge shout out to Krista for organizing this Fall mantel blog hop. I love seeing the different ways people decorate for Fall! Aside from the inexpensive mums and pumpkins, I used things I already had on hand. I usually grow pumpkins too but didn't this year for some reason. I just shop my house for baskets and pillow covers. Sometimes it pays to be a hoarder ;) I take that back, I also got this … {READ MORE}
Pulling Things Together {Coral & Gray Teen Room}
Have you ever started a project and then lost steam or got stuck on what to do next? I think we have all been there. This weekend I was able to step in and help pull all the details together to give my niece a fresh new room! When my sister got remarried and bought a new house, my niece picked out new bedding and bought a side table at the thrift store. She started collecting things to hang on the wall. That is as far as she got. A year later, the side table was still unfinished, the hand me down bed from her older brother was still chipped, and nothing was on the wall. My assignment from HomeRight for my sponsored post this month was "Furniture Makeover". This room was perfect for … {READ MORE}
Meet The Blogger {Ugly Duckling House}
I was recently asked in an interview what my favorite thing about blogging was and I didn't even hesitate. Hands down it is the relationships I have formed with my readers and with other bloggers. I think that is why I love this new series so much. I like introducing bloggers I know with my readers. And just like in the past weeks, I have an awesome blogger to share with you today! She is a total kick butt DIYer from Atlanta. Sarah not only DIYs projects for her home, but she develops and designs websites. She is so talented! You are going to love her :) Meet Sarah! Hey there!

Visiting the California Coast {Must See Places}
Things have been a bit slower on the blog this summer. I've tried not to stress about it too much. It is hard to balance work and play when the kids are home. Speaking of summer, we had the opportunity to drive up the California coast over the course of a week and a half for our family vacation. You may remember that 4 years ago we took our first official family vacation. Our "vacations" in the past consisted of visiting family and camping. We loved that HWY 101 trip so much that we did it again! We changed it a bit because this time (instead of just northern California and Oregon) we did most of California. If visiting the California coast is on your bucket list, I am going to share the … {READ MORE}
The Sofa Saga
Sofa, couch, whatever you call it, mine had seen better days. I am not sure what the average lifespan of a sofa is but ours started to give up the ghost years ago. This sofa was 14 years old. Shane was still finishing up his architecture degree and we really couldn't afford a leather couch but when we were looking we found one on clearance. The middle slat of the frame had broken so we got it for a song. I sandwiched the broken piece between two 1x4s and secured it with long screws. It worked great! Fast forward to a few years ago... The brown leather sofa started to show its age. Holes started forming and the fabric portion of the seats ripped. The center board broke again when about a … {READ MORE}

It's no secret that I am a full blown plant lady. I love having lots of plants inside and out. Maybe that is why I have so many planter tutorials on my site!

Helping Save Wildlife
Happy summer you guys! I hope you are enjoying days filled with BBQs, pool parties, camping, or whatever summery things you love. I have a post on a topic that is near and dear to my heart that I want to share with you today. If you know me at all you know I am a nature lovin', animal huggin', person. Heck, I wrote a book about nature and decorating where I professed my undying love for all living things. One of my goals as a mom is to instill that same love and respect of nature into my boys. We spend a lot of time outdoors, whether it be in the mountains, the beach, or our own backyard. We grow a large garden and we have lots of animals. I believe this earth is sacred and we have a … {READ MORE}
