Love the Home you Have (Even if it’s not exactly the home you want)
Today’s post is a bit different than my normal home posts, but it covers a topic I am very passionate about–contentment. (Cue scary background music!) In a world full of Pinterest and Instagram and beautiful bloggers sharing their beautiful homes, how does one keep the green monster of home-envy at bay? Do you truly love […]

I’ve been so busy with little projects to finish off other […]
DIY $12 Plywood Nightstands
Has anyone been nightstand shopping lately? Please, oh please, tell me I’m not the only one who can’t spend $90 on one tiny piece of furniture. Times two. After we moved our king-sized bed into our tiny new master bedroom, this is all the space we had between the bed and the wall. I looked […]
Modern Farmhouse Staircase Makeover
Does it mean you’re old and boring when you get excited about a staircase makeover? Like most of the projects in our new (old) house, I think this falls under the “refresh” category, more than the renovation category.
