This summer, I’m at war. A war against any biting, buzzing, bloodsucking insect that dares to set foot in my yard. My family lives outside in the warm weather and we are not having our turf taken away from us by mosquitoes. After doing TONS of research, I actually found out there’s a lot of […]

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!)

DIY Reclaimed Wood Closet Doors
I think the only thing better than a good DIY home project is a free DIY home décor project. Amen? That’s only one of the reasons I love using old beat-up things that other people are throwing out.

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 […]
