June Recap || Deets for July

Where the heck did the month go?  Seriously, I say this every month, I blinked and we are onto the next month…Cray Cray!    This month was wild, my head is still spinning, and I can honestly admit that I had my hands in too many “big” projects at once.  But the result of that is the Laundry Room … Read more

Next Project || Garage Dreamin’

Lately Andy and I have been fantasizing about our own “Dream Rooms” for the house….and as I start to move into the “shopping/decorating phase” of the master bedroom overhaul I am finding more time to “project”.   If I could add anything to the house it would be a locked and loaded full on command station with … Read more

{DIY} Glam Frames

This week is one of those where I just can’t get anything major completed.  You know…re-write your “to do” list a million times, nothing gets done, and instead of crossing off you just add more things!  Yep…that’s the scene over here.  But honestly when I don’t cross something off the list it means I was spending time … Read more

{DIY} X Frame Table || Creating a Moment

For those of you who follow me on {pinterest} you may see that I have an obsession overwhelming interest in Entryways and Hallways.   I just love this part of the house because it’s the first place people see when you walk into a home.   I lean towards grand architecture but simply designed…ones that play into the “white washed style” … Read more

Building a Fence || Part 1

Today would be the one week mark into one seriously MAJOR project…we are DIY’ing a new fence and saving ourselves some serious bones doing this project ourselves!   A little back-story: When we bought this house there were 2 very large clusters of un-contained Bamboo…unhappy face.  After Andy spent 40+ hours of digging – I’m seriously NOT exaggerating – we got a glimpse of what condition … Read more

Ikea Hack || Malm Upgrade

If you saw last weeks post on our Full Wall Wainscoting Reveal you may have seen my “please excuse my Malm” photoshoped attempt at promising you that I was not decorating our Master Bedroom with Black Malm dressers…side note: nothing wrong with Malm’s they just would NOT fit aesthetically with our bedroom!   So I hope to … Read more

DIY Fuax & No Sew Roman Shades

This past week I have been focused on expelling junk in preparation for our Annual Neighborhood garage sale (30+ homes)…when I found a few yards of unused fabric that I purchased a long time ago.   I can’t remember why I bought this linen floral fabric but I was pretty stoked to reconnect with this cute … Read more
