When I first walked into our basement, the most attractive feature in a sea of wood paneling were the built-in cabinets. They are well-constructed and a timeless style. We’re so thankful because I’m not sure we would’ve been able to make that investment – or at least it wouldn’t have been a priority! You guys …
YOU GUYS! You haven’t heard from me because I’ve been dancing the past two weeks (oh, and working 😉). I’m dancing because I still can’t believe it. My drop ceiling is done! And surprise – we got new windows and our walls are painted too! I actually finished our basement drop ceiling last week, but …
Any of you have a phobia of hanging things on your walls? I did for a long time! It’s tough to choose; it feels permanent in a way, doesn’t it? Well, I think you’ll really enjoy today’s DIY project! If you look around my house, you can find one of a few things on my …
Hey there, friends! I’m currently sipping on coffee in a giant Starbucks, the sun is streaming in the big windows, and writing this blog post – all across the table from the love of my life, who is reading a book for work. And oh yes, it’s my 33rd birthday. 😉 One of my goals …

Happy New Year, tribe! I hope you had a wonderful time celebrating with friends and family over Christmas and the New Year…and for so many of you that didn’t, if it was really tough, I’m sending you my love and hugs. I’ve taken the last few weeks off of writing content and blogging and have …
We’ve been taking it slow the past month, so while I’ve been dreaming of projects, we haven’t been working on any. We’ve soaked in the moments of October and the joys of the season. It’s been so good for us to step away from the “doing” in our house and just enjoy it. But don’t …
Last week, I shared the before and after of our little kitchen – the biggest renovation we’ve competed to date! Today I’m excited to share with you the other half. The Breakfast Nook I can’t tell you how many sketches I made of this nook. How should we set it up? Where should the seating …
