Wow! I feel like it took forever to get to a place where I felt like I could share my family room photos with you all and I am so happy to be revealing it today! When we purchased this house 2 years ago, it was in dated disrepair, and we still have quite a bit to go, but, oh, the progress we’ve made so far! Let’s take a gander at a few of the before pictures.  WARNING: It might... Read more

  I am so excited to share my latest DIY project with you all!  Spring is in the air and it’s time to dust away the cobwebs and open the windows! I just switched out my sofa covers to usher in that brightness that spring brings to my home and my heart.  I gave a few teasers on my Instagram feed about my Chevron covered ottoman and I’m so excited to share the reveal with y’all today. But you gotta... Read more

I recently learned that not only do we live in the “Dimple of the Universe” but, our town is also called the Mule capital of the world. Our area is locally and affectionately known as Muletown. How cute is that?!  Last year,  I attended a local craft fair and found an adorable tin cut mule and knew I had to have it! I had some what I thought was unusable pallet wood left over from my kitchen island project, and... Read more

I can’t believe it’s been over a year since our huge kitchen remodel. I am still happy with the results and am still waiting on a new floor, but that’s for another day. I noticed that my walls are lacking. I’m loving the minimalist look, but it started to look too bare. There was an empty space next to our stove that was begging to be filled up.  If you google “DIY EAT Sign”, a billion options come up. I’ve... Read more

I know I’ve been absent in posting recently.  This past month has been a difficult one. We found out that we had two weeks until my husband’s (already meager) side job was going away and the work that we have scheduled for our recording studio seemed to be in a constant delay, thus delaying any future payment. You see, we are self employed and rely on irregular income flows.  That means that when the harvest is great, we have to... Read more

Times are tough and budget is tight, but I’ve worked my budget out to allow myself $25 each month to spend on something creative. This month I’m featuring a DIY faux succulent garden that I was able to complete for just under $25!   Here’s what I started with: An old storage jar that the lid had busted, making it unusable in the pantry. A box of unused homeschool science supplies with rocks, sand and soil. I have always wanted... Read more

We totally transformed our Master Bedroom suite into a beautiful sanctuary that makes both my husband and myself happy! In my previous post about planning and making over this room, I touched on the fact that my husband really wanted to be included in this room with touches of masculine here and there. Once the hardwood floors were installed and we completed painting, he really stressed the fact that he wanted to be included in the design process, which I... Read more

This past Saturday marked our 1 year anniversary of being in our Tennessee home.  Looking back over the year, I can’t believe the transformations we’ve made in just a year, yet I’m still amazed at how much more there is to do! I’ve been seeing the house goals people post around New Years and thought this might be a fun thing to do on our anniversary to see the progress we’ve made.  Accomplishments: 1. We moved our family 2000 miles... Read more

What a crazy week this has been! I hope your week has been going well and less muddled as ours. The good news is – tomorrow is the Country Living Fair and I’m so excited to finally be able to attend thanks to the tickets I won from Angie at Altered Past! In all the excitement, I haven’t been as productive as I’d like, but I have been working on our Master Bedroom and getting it looking pretty. I found... Read more
