True story - I would have to get out of the car before Andrew pulled into his side of the garage because the space was so tight you couldn't open the car door. When we first moved into our house the garage was the last thing we thought about. We just threw things up on… Continue reading a giant peg board & now finished garage

2020 projects
Consider this list the equivalent of our New Year's resolution for house projects. These are the things we are hoping to accomplish in 2020, but should we fail we will not hold ourselves accountable - much like any resolution we've ever made (ha!)! Living Room: Get the room D O N E! It's been almost… Continue reading 2020 projects

I love to decorate our Christmas tree. We usually have two in our house, a pretty one in the living room and one that is a little more fun in the family room. An easy way to help your tree look full is to add garland. I have a ton of options in our Christmas… Continue reading trimming the tree
almost friday: the dried orange fiasco
Anyone else feel like they are in a weird limbo between Thanksgiving and Christmas? I'm not sure which one I should be looking forward to celebrating - or honestly, at times I completely forget that we still have to celebrate Thanksgiving.

House numbers should be at least 4-6 inches tall, face the street side of your… Continue reading house numbers: figuring out the right size

free digital download! DIY our soap dispensers.
When we were renovating our bathroom last year I kept looking for unique soap dispensers - something that was a little modern but yet could still fit our fairly fun and traditional bathroom. I couldn't find what I wanted so I decided to make it instead. I love the amber bottles that are ever so… Continue reading free digital download! DIY our soap dispensers.
