Another exciting week of the One Room Makeover hosted by Linda from Calling it Home and, ooo-wee, progress has definitely been made. Last week, I shared my mood board and plans to makeover our dated laundry room into a Vintage Inspired Laundry & Mudroom. This week was all about the paint. Ceilings, walls, cabinets inside and out, doors, trim and baseboards! All of it had to be touched and what a week it was! Want a peek of the progress?... Read more
Living in a dated home you’ve been loving back to life? Do you still have a to do list a mile long, but the budget has run out? Here’s how we updated our Master Bathroom when the money was tight.

I mean, haaaaate. It’s straight out of 1985,... Read more
I may have just bitten off more than I can chew. I’ve never participated in a One Room Challenge before, but have drooled, envied, studied, and stalked those who have. There is so much happening in my home and life right now, and I reluctantly tiptoed into our office to present this idea to Trent.

When I was out stocking up on some deals, I saw a gorgeous, gathered burlap garland that I knew would be perfect for Fallifying my Almost Farmhouse fireplace, until I saw the price tag! $35!! Yikes! It was when I turned the corner and... Read more

I remember the days of growing up and pretending to be a southern belle, having tea parties out in the grass with finger sandwiches and pastries. It was all about big hats, shiny lipstick, and frilly dresses, but, my, how all that has changed! Here’s how I updated my tastes and style and recreated a grown up version of a Southern Sweet Tea party with fancy fabrics – all without sewing! But first I must come clean… I have a... Read more
Ever create something that just doesn’t work anymore? Have you ever had to break up with a light fixture?

Can you believe we are already halfway thru June? Only 2 weeks until our school starts back and I feel like my days are racing away from me, so when I got some Happy Mail the other day, it make me smile! Last month, I revealed my DIY Farmhouse Apron with the yummy fabric I received from Thistlewood Farm’s ‘Sweet Tea’ Fabric Line made by Hoffman Fabrics as their Sweet Tea Embassador. I gushed and gushed about how lovely the... Read more
