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 […]
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 […]
15 DIY Planters You Can Make in a Day!
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! I am going to share my favorite DIY planters from over the past few years. All of them you can do in […]

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 […]
Crushing On: Light Wood
10 years ago I would have sworn my devotion to dark wood and dark wood only. Light wood was dated in my opinion (and at the time it kind of was) and I wanted all the wood in my home to look like rich walnut. Then medium wood tones started to worm their way into […]
Dutch Oven Lemon Blueberry Cake {Giveaway}
Summer time means spending more time outside and for our family it means eating outside too. During July and August I try to avoid heating up the kitchen since it is already so hot. We barbecue often and also cook in Dutch ovens. I made some lemon blueberry muffins the other day and they were […]
Summer Mantel & Terrarium
We have been so busy with outdoor projects that I have not done a lot of things inside as of late. I did however decide to take down the winter pine cones that were on the mantel and do a little something more summery. I recently bought a candle holder from Target that (surprise!) I […]
Painting Window Boxes {Giveaway}
We have been working hard on getting the outside of our house looking a bit better. It has been a long time since we have painted the trim and it was peeling off. Plus I was ready for a change. The trim has been red for 10 years! I painted one window last year to […]
Details About The Mountain Room
Thank you for your patience as I got this post done with all the links and information about my boys’ mountain room. We were hit with a respiratory infection that had us all flat on our backs in bed for a week. It doesn’t add up, but somehow when I am out of commission for […]
Meet The Blogger {Simply Kierste}
Ladies and gents! I have a real treat for you today. I don’t throw around the phrase “eye candy” very often (except when I talk about Shane) but I am going to throw it down today. You are going to LOVE this blogger. Her home, her photography, her style. I could scroll through her photos […]
Summer Patio Decor
I should have titled this “the post that almost didn’t happen.” My pillows were late getting here and so I had to wait until Monday to take the photos. Monday was when the roof guys came to get started on taking the shingles off. I asked them if they could start on the front so […]
L Shaped Kid Beds with Storage
I somehow forget how hard it is to blog in the summertime. Every year the struggle to balance my time on projects, yard work, and the computer takes me by surprise. This tutorial for the L shaped kid beds with storage is long overdue. I appreciate all of the kind words about this set of […]
Haven Bound {Being a Mentor}
Hello! If you are stopping by from Sarah’s blog, Thrifty Decor Chick, I am happy to have you. Sarah is the best, isn’t she? I am looking forward to attending Haven again this year and being able to see blogging friends, like Sarah, in real life. If you aren’t familiar with what Haven is, it […]
Mountain Themed Boy Bedroom
I know some of you have been antsy to see the reveal of the second boy room at our house. Trust me, no one has been more anxious than me. When we left off last time, the floors were installed and it was a giant blank slate. Since then I have added the baseboards, painted […]
Life Lately and Some BIG Plans
There are moments when life seems to be going at a normal pace and things are going smoothly (for the most part). There are the normal daily struggles but overall, it seems pretty manageable. Then there are the times when things are so chaotic and stressful that once that period of time is over, it […]
Meet The Blogger {Cami from Tidbits}
I have a special treat for you today! I get to introduce you to my friend Cami. I feel like her projects and photography will speak for themselves but I will tell you anyway that she is crazy talented. I adore her style and could look through her pictures all day long. You are going […]
Battling Allergens
This post was sponsored by Arm & Hammer I love Spring, I really do. It is my favorite season for many reasons. The warmth after a long winter, new growth and life, flowers appearing, starting the vegetable garden, and the 70-degree temperatures are just a few of those reasons. There is one hitch though. Allergies. […]
Flies No More {Retractable Screen Door}
I love the warmer months! I love having my kids home for summer vacation, snow cones, gardening, watermelon, outdoor movies, and hiking. What I do NOT love are the endless flies that get in because my kids leave the door open. Andersen Windows and Doors contacted me about reviewing their new LuminAire Retractable Screen Door […]
Canvas Print Gallery Wall
Everything is GREEN you guys! I love this time of year. There has been a healthy mix of sunshine and rain. Since summer vacation is right around the corner, I decided to focus some time this week on refreshing the gallery wall above our sofa to reflect the change in the season. CanvasDiscount.com offered to […]
