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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
How to Build a New Top for Your Table
It is easier than you might think to build, stain, and seal a tabletop! This tutorial has easy to follow steps with photos.
Crushing On: Wall Murals
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 […]
Simple Spring Home Tour
If you are here from Nina’s blog, I’m so glad you are here! If you haven’t checked out her home yet, hop on over later. It is beautiful! Springtime is busy for me. Spring concerts for the kids, starting to work outside for the first time, finishing up “winter” projects, and I tend to have […]
Modern Boy Bedroom REVEAL!
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 […]
Leather Tab Curtains {Sewing Leather}
I meant to get this post up last week but time got away from me. Not only am I trying to get the second of the boys’ bedrooms done, but the flu bug has hit our house again. I swear it is all I can do to keep up the regular stuff let alone the […]
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 […]
DIY Modern Beds {Teen & Tween Room}
Aaaahhh! I finally can share with you the beds I have built for two of my boys. I am so happy with how they turned out, but more importantly, my boys are thrilled with their new space. When Shane and I moved our bedroom into the unfinished basement so we could split up our boys […]
1970’s Ranch Rambler {Home Tour}
Good morning! I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday weekend. Utah finally remembered what winter was and we ended up with almost a foot of snow. The boys were excited to finally be able to go sledding and I enjoyed having Shane home to help with basement projects. I am getting so excited to share […]
Details About My Under Sink Dishwasher
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}
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
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 […]
New Cabinets Doors!
This post was sponsored by CabinetNow but all ideas and opinions are my own :) When we moved into our home the orange-y cabinets were not my favorite. I painted them an off white and that helped. I did not love the style of the doors but I lived with it because getting all new […]
Crushing On: Herringbone
I love herringbone and I love that this classic pattern is rising again in popularity. I have seen it used in so many different ways. I love that there are modern takes on a traditional pattern. I have gathered some of my favorite examples to show you why I am crushing on herringbone. I […]
Gray Paint for Kitchen Cabinets {Help Me Decide!}
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
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 […]
Round Sliding Bathroom Mirror
I shared my bathroom reveal this week. Thank you for all the kind comments on the post and on social media. I have been enjoying leaving the door open instead of feeling like I had to keep the door close to hide its ugliness. There is one more thing I have yet to share about […]
