We’ve been taking it pretty easy around here lately. This summer has been the busiest I can remember, and now that we’re back from the World Longest Yard Sale (our last commitment before my baby is due… in March), we’re just enjoying family time and soaking up what’s left of the summer. I may never make plans to leave the house ever again. Nick recently took a new position at his job, and ... [ Read More ]

Paint & Trim Updates // Dining Room
One of the first things we did when we moved into our house was UNDO the teal sponge-painting job in the dining room. At the time, we didn’t really have a design vision for our home yet, we just knew the sponge-painting had to go. Like yesterday. We went with this lovely ‘celery’ shade, and it served us well for several years. Since then, we removed the wall between the living room and dining ... [ Read More ]
Habitat Reveals {Dining/Kitchen, Boy’s Room}
Dudes… I’m sorry for leaving you hanging yesterday, but there was just too much content and I didn’t want to rush through it! In case you missed it click here to read about our experience with the GMC Hidden Treasure Hunt. We traveled along The World’s Longest Yard Sale, snagged some treasures along the way, and fixed up/furnished a home for a family in need in collaboration with Habitat for ... [ Read More ]
Murphy Table for the Tots
By now, if you follow us on Facebook or Instagram, you know that we’re participating in the GMC/Habitat for Humanity ‘Treasure Hunt Challenge’… which involves traveling along the World’s Longest Yardsale (my personal heaven on earth), snagging some great buys, and fixing up a house for a family in need at the end! Can you think of anything more fun and rewarding? If anything’s gonna snap me out of ... [ Read More ]
Haven Recap ‘n’ Stuff
The busiest 2 weeks of my LIFE recently came to an end, and I’m just crawling out of my coma. I’m a home-girl, who’s idea of a vacation is… what I do every day. So lots of traveling and business wears on me quickly. Anyone else that way? No? As you know, we went camping, and then were home for exactly one day… which just happened to be the girls’ 3rd Birthday. After which we promptly left for ... [ Read More ]
Patio Installation {Part 2}
This has been ONE OF THOSE PROJECTS. The kind where on multiple occasions, we look wearily at each other and telepathically say ‘what were we thinking?’ …because we don’t have the energy to actually say it out loud. We left you last time at this point: Nick is such a hard worker… and actually ENJOYS this kind of stuff (to a degree), so I lucked out there for sure. Since we already had ... [ Read More ]
Little dresser turned ‘LITTER’ Dresser
We’ve had this little dresser in the garage for awhile now. There’s nothing special about it, but there’s a fun story about how we acquired it. On our local Facebook ‘For Sale’ page, a lady was trying to sell this dresser for $15. Even though that’s a decent price, I wasn’t really interested just because I didn’t need anything like it at the time. But then I read the comments below the ... [ Read More ]
Scrolly Scalloped Mirror Tutorial
Now that I’m pregnant (omg I still can’t TRULY wrap my mind around that) there are a lot of things I can’t do DIY-wise. Fumes are no-bueno for this mama, so that means no painting, staining, polying, adhesive-ing, etc. ‘Sooooo what does that leave’… you ask? Well sewing, but… for the most part: NO THANKS. Although I did make these adorable wrap-around blouses for the girls that I’m pretty darn ... [ Read More ]
The Dollhouse Finale (finally)
Dear friends… Nick and I have been overcome with encouragement these past few days and want to thank you for rooting for us to expand our family. It’s been such a crazy/emotional (and expensive) journey, and now we just have to simply WAIT. Can I just say that 8 days might as well be an eternity?! Patience was never a quality of mine. So I hope you don’t feel that I’m being callous by thinking and ... [ Read More ]
Shading with Stain {A Video Tutorial}
Ahhhhhhh! I’m so excited to finally be writing this post! It’s been a long time coming. Recall for a moment my granny’s dining table that she so generously passed down to me. *this post contains affiliate links* The yellow is… charming. But not the look we’re going for in our home. And the top surface was in pretty bad shape. Scratches up the wazoo. The finish was so old and deteriorated that it ... [ Read More ]
