But wow-wee we made a decent amount of progress over the weekend. Week 1 – The Before Pics // Week 2 – The Design Plan // Week 3 – The… View Post

This is my very first time participating in the Spring 2021 One Room Challenge. Can you believe it?! Don’t answer that truthfully. I’m very excited about this challenge.

I’ve been meaning to give our guest bedroom a little refresh.

Recently (and by ‘recently’ I mean a year ago), I bought these 1986 Ethan Allen campaign style armoire chest cabinets off of FB Marketplace for $80 total.

This post is sponsored by Better Homes & Gardens at Walmart. All opinions are my own. Would you believe me if I told you we only have one wall in our house with family photos on it?

Today I’m breaking down all the components of my front porch Christmas decorations. Holiday Greens Planters When in doubt, always flank your steps with seasonal planters.

I was going to re-pot and beef these up… View Post
