As we slide on into October, I'm in the middle of 101 little projects both big (doing the final sourcing for our master bathroom addition that starts next week!) and small (repainting my girls' little craft room, choosing beds and mattresses for our new house in NC, etc.). In the midst of it all, I've been doing a little bit of fall decorating that I wanted to share with you for my latest "View It, Do It, You It!" post. It includes a look at my fall front porch ("View It"), a super simple fall ...
How to Arrange Pillows on a Queen Bed: Five Simple Formulas That Work!
Styling and decorating comes naturally for some but for most people, it really doesn't. I definitely don't consider myself a "natural" - if you saw what my house looked like 15 years ago, I promise that you'd agree :). It's only through years of trial and error that I've developed a style that's truly "me" and can make design decisions with confidence. When I was newly married and started trying to decorate our home, I remember being frustrated that decorating advice was vague and really not ...
My Favorite Inexpensive Beds (That Don’t Look Cheap!)
A few weeks back we spent our first weekend in our new home in North Carolina (more on that {here} if you missed it!) with nothing but blow-up mattresses and four papasan-style dorm chairs for furniture. Furnishing this house is a little bit tricky because we need to get a few furniture basics so we can stay there comfortably, but we don’t want to spend much since we’ll eventually be moving most of the furniture from our current home down there. The most pressing issue right now is beds and ...
Our Hallmark Wood Floors: My One Year Later Review!
It's been a little over a year now since we remodeled our kitchen (you can check out my kitchen reveal {here} if you missed it) and I can't tell you how many questions I've gotten about the new Hallmark wood flooring that we installed as part of our remodel. I've absolutely loved the look of it since day one but didn't feel like I could give an opinion about much else having to do with our floors until I had lived with them for a while and put them to the test. Now that we're a year out, I'm ...
Our New Laundry Room Decals That Made It The Cutest Room in the House!
Looking for some great laundry room decals and the how-to for applying them? I'm sharing the laundry room decals that I used, step by step details on applying them, and laundry room decal options you'll love! I'm definitely not a big fan of doing laundry and I don't think that anything's ever going to change that but I figured that if I made our laundry room a little more bright and cheery, it would be a start! I decided to add some super cute tangerine decals to the walls and I'm so glad I ...
We Bought a House!
Big news… we bought a house! I've been dying to share this with you guys ever since we signed a contract on it about six weeks ago but wanted to wait until it was a done deal. Well it's now official - on Thursday we closed on a house in Wilmington, N.C.! The whens and whys of it are kinda complicated so I thought I’d write a quick post to share a few details with you and answer some of the questions you may have. And of course I've got some pics of our new home to share too starting with this ...
