Best Way To Clean A Fireplace {Giveaway}

January 19, 2021 By Stacy 80 Comments

I always struggle at the beginning of a new year. A.) January is kind of the worst. B.) I am always exhausted after the holidays and it takes a bit to get back into the swing of things. I usually take a week to deep clean after taking down the Christmas decor. After I tackled […]

Home Goals for 2021 {Also, What Would You Like to See?}

January 4, 2021 By Stacy 8 Comments

I like goals. They help keep me focused and accountable for getting things done. I do not, however, ever think of them as absolutes or set in stone. I know not everything will get done, but I try to aim high so that as much gets done as possible. Lots of factors go into whether […]

December 30, 2020 By Stacy 2 Comments

It is always fun to look back at the end of the year and see all that has been accomplished. Its like looking at a crossed off to-do list. And while this year may not have had as many projects as usual, I am happy with any progress. I went through my analytics and found […]

The Power of Paint {Bed Makeover}

December 21, 2020 By Stacy 6 Comments

I built this bed with storage for my oldest three years ago. He has now moved out and my third oldest wanted to use this bed. To better fit the new space, we decided to take the headboard off. We also PAINTED it. Oh the power of paint. It looked like a whole new bed! […]

Family & Life Update :)

December 4, 2020 By Stacy 14 Comments

The past month has been HARD. So many emotions. So overwhelming. But not necessarily bad. As most of you know I struggle with S.A.D. (Seasonal Affective Disorder) and I felt the funk settling in at the beginning of November. I mention that only because my S.A.D. is always kind of in the background (except for […]

Bathroom Refresh REVEAL {Spoiler Alert… It’s Green!}

November 23, 2020 By Stacy 16 Comments

After being cooped up in the house this spring due to the pandemic, I started to get the itch to makeover something. I decided to refresh the bathroom. I have slowly morphed the rest of the house by adding in more green and the last space to get the once over was the bathroom. I […]

How to Refresh A Weathered Wood Door

November 16, 2020 By Stacy 40 Comments

If you have a wood exterior door, then you know that even if you use a good quality sealer, eventually it will look a bit weathered. I refinished our front door about 8 years ago. Even though it sits under a porch and is partly protected from the elements, it still was showing wear. I […]
