Let’s chat about wall murals…. I’ve been seeing them around more and more and when done right, they are spectacular! I admit I spent way to long looking at them on Pinterest the other day trying to figure out which wall in my house could handle one. I’m going to share my favorite examples and […]

Modern Boy Bedroom REVEAL!

Modern Boy Bedroom REVEAL!

By Stacy 8 Comments

When we decided to split the four boys up into two different rooms, Shane and I moved out of our bedroom. I had to come to terms with saying goodbye to my stenciled ceiling. It had a good run for almost eight years. A couple coats of white paint later, this space was a blank […]

Faux Brick Wall

Faux Brick Wall

When I was planning out the details for my sons’ room, I was worried that with white walls and black beds (you can see the bed reveals here!) that the room would see too stark. I wanted to do a feature wall to help soften things up. I have loved the look of German schmear […]

Details About My Under Sink Dishwasher

By Stacy 10 Comments

This post was sponsored by The Home Depot. Ever since I started blogging, the biggest question I get about my house, is asking how in the world I have a dishwasher under my sink. I have been meaning to write this post for years so I had something to refer them to. Now that my […]

Displaying Children’s Artwork {Hallway Makeover}

Displaying Children’s Artwork {Hallway Makeover}

By Stacy 12 Comments

The only places in our basement that have been “finished” since we moved in, are the two existing bedrooms. A large bedroom my boys shared, and the bedroom Shane I shared. The hallway was technically finished in the sense that it had walls and carpet, but it was not decorated. The hallways leads to the […]

Crushing On: Marble

By Stacy 5 Comments

My house is currently a disaster. There is dust everywhere from the drywall mud, piles of painting supplies, baseboards that need to be installed, boxes of flooring, and lumber. So occasionally it is nice to escape and look at pretty pictures on pinterest.  This month I am crushing on marble. Normally my mind immediately goes […]

Gray Paint for Kitchen Cabinets {Help Me Decide!}

Gray Paint for Kitchen Cabinets {Help Me Decide!}

By Stacy 43 Comments

I’ve written about the challenge of picking out gray paint before when I painted my down bathroom. It is a tricky color. If it has a blue undertone it can look baby blue on the walls. If it has too red of an undertone it can look purple. Not to mention the green undertones. I […]

Crushing On: Chrome

By Stacy 2 Comments

I remember when we bought this house and I was deciding on what finishes to add to the kitchen and bathroom and I wanted anything BUT chrome. It was all about the brushed nickel back then and bronze. While I still like those finishes, I have turned a corner and now fully embrace chrome. Here […]

Warming Up The Kitchen

Warming Up The Kitchen

By Stacy 6 Comments

When I added the open shelving in the kitchen and painted the ceiling I had plans to also paint the cabinets and add new window coverings. Other things too priority and the kitchen fell by the wayside. When LEVOLOR contacted me, I was excited to push the kitchen back to the top of my to-do […]

Crushing On: Concrete

By Stacy 2 Comments

For some, when they think of concrete, words like “cold”, “hard”, “industrial”, “uninviting” come to mind. While if this material is overused in a space it can potentially feel like that, concrete can be a wonderful material to use in a myriad of ways in your home. Here are some of the reasons I am […]
