My projects always tend to evolve. I go into them with an idea of what the final picture will look like, but don’t often know all of the details. Our master bathroom began with open shelving and a mess that I couldn’t control. I decided it was time to replace the open shelving with a […]

Let me start by saying that I have loved my home since the first time I saw it. I began casually looking for a home…and then I fell in love… I was amazed the first time that I drove by it and love the sight of it every time that I pull into our driveway. […]

I have a hard time “looking past the clutter” sometimes. I had a list of projects that I planned to complete…and a playroom makeover was not on it. However, I decided it would be best for my sanity if I cleaned up the mess. Upgrading our playroom storage became the priority. Our playroom became overrun […]

Have you ever wanted to make something, but convinced yourself that you didn’t need it? That’s how I was with a bed swing. I really wanted one for our screened in porch, but I came up with every excuse not to make it (we don’t have room for one, I don’t have the time to […]

One of my biggest obsessions that I have in common with Fixer Upper is SHIPLAP! I love how quick and easy it is to install and that it instantly adds character to a room. Call me crazy, but shiplap walls almost feel more…substantial. I wanted to add some character to the living room of our […]

Ok, so maybe it isn’t a “quarters,” but I have always wanted to have a special place for visitors when they spend the night. I want our home to be welcoming and comfortable for everyone. I love hosting and know that people are more likely to want to stay with us if they enjoy our […]

When we moved into our home, we had open shelving in the kitchen AND a pantry with no doors. I am a neat freak and although I keep my kitchen tidy, I really like hiding everything behind doors. My attempt at organizing the pantry consisted of buying several gray bins from Target. I very neatly […]
