We’ve been slowing chugging along in the dining room, trying to make some progress. Our kitchen does not have an official pantry, so storage was becoming quite an issue. We have been wanting to get a buffet for the dining room, but decided to get a small cabinet instead to hold food and act as […]
Etsy Bitsy Crushes
I still haven’t made up my mind about Etsy yet. I haven’t found a good way to search, so it feels really overwhelming. But, after seeing these gems, I’m thinking I may be a more frequent shopper! Check out my current Etsy crushes: I would LOVE this for our entry way! Love love love it! […]
Living Room Progress–Rug Attempt #2
I’ve been on the hunt for a new rug again after out first attempt didn’t work out. I’ve found lots of beautiful rugs, but ran into problems trying to get something to go with our dark green couches. We bought our couch right after we got married. I like them, but through the years, my […]
Springing up the Front Door
I know it’s not technically spring yet, but I’m pretending, ok? I ditched our Christmas/winter wreath and the door has been naked ever since, screaming for a new wreath. After searching Pinterest for inspiration, I mashed a couple ideas together to come up with my wreath. I gotta say, I pretty much love how my […]
Living Room Progress: New Rug!
I know I mentioned it in my last post, but we finally found a rug for our living room! We’ve been searching for a good rug since May when we bought this house. I really like the look of the natural fiber rugs, so have been keeping my eye on them for months now. I […]
Living Room Lovin’
I’ve never shared our living room on the blog yet. Not because it was a horrible mess, just that it is rather boring and unfinished. Here’s what it looked like a month or two after moving in. Excuse the phone picture quality. I wanted something large over the couch, so filled it with the photo […]
Playroom Progress: Fingerprint Art
I’m still trudging along as slow as molasses on the playroom gallery wall. I’m reaching the finish line, though! Hopefully, once I frame the artwork I bought at a craft show last month, I’ll be able to hang everything up! After creating this elephant painting with Little One, I decided to try another piece of kid-made artwork with […]
Christmas Tree Crafts
As I was decorating our fireplace mantel, I was struggling to find something large to put up on one side. I was thinking about doing these wire trees, but was afraid they wouldn’t feel substantial enough for our oversized fireplace. My friend Amy posted a picture of her fireplace and I caught a glimpse of […]
DIY Christmas Tree Skirt
Last year on after Christmas sales, we snagged a big variety box of silver ornaments at Target for 50-75% off. I’m really loving the silver on our tree this year! Bad news, though, for our $6 gold, cheapie Christmas tree skirt that we bought our first married Christmas. It looked awful with the silver/red Christmas […]
Sweet and Simple Christmas Centerpiece
It’s starting to look a lot like Christmas at our house! I still can’t believe it’s already time to put up Christmas decorations, though. I feel like it’s still July… I’ll post later about our tree soon, but in the meantime, I’ll show you our table centerpiece. Ta da! I left the table runner I […]
