Free DIY Whitewashed Patio
Well, hi there! If you want to know where our patio started 3.5 years ago, here it is: A pile of bricks! A project that is near and dear to our hearts because it was one of the first projects Mike and I worked on when we were dating! More than some of our other …
How to Paint Aluminum Patio Furniture
Just like everything else in our home, our outdoor spaces have been a process too! What started as a pile of bricks has transformed into a patio where we love to spend time in the warmer months (and around a fire in the colder ones)! We ALSO love hand-me-downs (I wrote a 3-part series on …
Fall Front Porch & Simple Hospitality Ideas for the Season

3 Reasons to Host a Yard Sale This Year
A few weeks ago, Mike and I hosted a yard sale with a few of our neighbors! It was a lot of work, but so worth the time. The things in our garage were piling up so much that we could only fit one car in it! So we began “Operation Get Mike’s Car Back …
Before and After: The Front Porch
I remember walking up to this house for the first time. The first thing I noticed was that cute little front porch. Like I explained in this post, when we were handed the keys much of the house was overlooked and overgrown. While it had (and still has) some rough-around-the-edges details, it wasn’t hard for …
