Plum Christmas Tablescape
Maybe it is because I live with all boys and dinner time can be, well, lacking manners sometimes, but I like to dress the table up every now and then. The holidays are a really fun time to create a pretty tablescape. This year because my Christmas decor has plum accents, I went with a plum Christmas tablescape. If you missed the Christmas home tour, you can see the living room all decked out HERE. I created this advent calendar a few years ago and my boys love it. I love it because the bags are big enough to fit 4 mini candy canes and then no one fights over whose turn it is to open it. As always, I like to keep things simple. Even if I had a … {READ MORE}
Christmas Cottage Home Tour
Hey guys! It is one of my favorite times of year. It is time to share my Christmas home tour with you! I love hopping from blog to blog to see the different ways people have decorated. If you are here from Janet's blog, WELCOME! If you haven't see her home yet, stop by after this tour. You won't want to miss it. I usually have a theme when I decorate, like last year's gingerbread man theme. Or snowflakes like a couple of years ago. This year I decided that since my color scheme was a bit non-traditional, that I would not have a set theme. I have to say, I am loving the plum accents! I built this wood Christmas village out of scrap plywood. Last year when I built … {READ MORE}
Freshen Up your Home For the Holidays {Giveaway!}
This post is sponsored by HomeRight but all ideas and opinions are my own :) It is that time of year when we get to trim our trees, hang lights, and pull out our holiday decor from storage. There's a new steam machine in town that will help you freshen up your home for the holidays! The new machine, called the SteamMachine Elite comes with pretty much everything. A mop, extensions, tons of attachments and an accessory bag that can fold up or hang. My favorite thing is to steam up our rugs. If you live with boys and a dog, you may notice your rugs can start to smell like corn chips. Eww. Add the carpet glide (the black triangle) over the mop head and it easily glides over … {READ MORE}

Crushing On: Statement Ceilings
If you have been on this blogging journey with me for awhile then you probably know I love a bold statement ceiling. I stenciled my bedroom ceiling about 8 years ago and have been obsessed with ceilings that have extra style ever since. I have compiled some of my favorite examples of statement ceilings for you. I'd love to hear what your favorites are! Statement Ceilings Black shiplap on the ceiling draws the eye toward the focal point of the room. It makes this space so cozy too.

Sprucing up the Outside of Our House {New Roof!}
When we bought our house 13 years ago the inspector told us we would need to get a new roof in a few years. We never did. It looked... decent and there were not any leaks. A new roof can be expensive and it's not a very fun thing to drop a bunch of cash on so we let it slide. We had a big wind storm this spring that blew of a ton of shingles. So many shingles that I was getting texts and phone calls from neighbors saying "Have you seen your roof?!" At some point, the previous owners had added asphalt shingles over top of the original wood shingles. That is why every time the wind blew hard shingle would fly off. They weren't properly … {READ MORE}
Christmas Tree With Plum Ornaments
I am normally a "decorate after Thanksgiving" kind of person even though bloggers are expected to decorate early. But I was invited to do participate in a super fun blog hop and I couldn't say no. So while a couple of my kids may have grumbled about the tree being up too soon, I have enjoyed playing around with new tree decor. This year I decided to go with a Christmas tree with plum ornaments! If you are here visiting from Linda's blog, The Home I Create, welcome! I hope you have been inspired by seeing all the different styles of trees in the blog hop hosted by Stephanie from Casa Watkins Living. Make sure to visit all the blogs. There are so many fun takes on tree … {READ MORE}
Fall and Thanksgiving Decor
With Thanksgiving right around the corner, I thought it would be fun to share past Fall and Thanksgiving decor. How many of you are hosting guests this season? It might be fun to add some special touches to your home before they arrive. I like to keep things simple and use things I have already and things from nature. Fall Mantels Whether you have a real fireplace, a stand alone like mine, or a shelf that you decorate as a mantel, here are some simple ideas of how to add some autumn touches. Pumpkins, pine cones, and leaves are my go to items. This Fall artwork was a lot easier than it may look and because it is on such thin plywood, it pops in and … {READ MORE}
Dated Oak Dresser Gets A Makeover! {Giveaway}
This post is sponsored by HomeRight. All ideas, opinions, and projects are all my own. I have been slowly helping my sister transform her new house over the last year. We have tackle a few rooms and a few small projects. This dated oak dresser that was in her bedroom didn't match anything else. It was the odd (orange) man out. I knew all it would take was a little paint and new hardware. I love how this grey dresser makeover turned out! After removing the hardware and lightly sanding it, it was ready to paint. I used the Super FinishMax with the green tip. I had some leftover paint from when I painted my kitchen cabinets so I used that. My sister's room has a lot … {READ MORE}
