Hey, good news. I still remember how to log into this thing! So, HI! Holy crap, I've missed it around here. I hope you've all been well. Overall, we've been doing really well, all things considered. And I truly look forward to the day when I don't have to end each status update like that. We ...
Our Fireplace Makeover – Before & After!

Mudroom Closet Makeover + New Office + Fresh Air!

Our New DIY Wood Home Sign
I’ve had a few different requests for some more details on the DIY wood home sign I made a couple of weeks ago…so ask, and you shall receive! My neighbor, and friend, Kate decided to host a party with Shea Crafts after she had attended one herself. I am SO glad she did, because it was ...
We Don’t Love Chalk Paint + other Weekend Fun
Hello and happy Monday to you! How was the weekend? Good? Great?! Ours was good, busy, and productive…including this latest project for the kitchen. We’d been trying to find something to put on this wall in our kitchen, and after recently finding this wine rack console on Amazon, we ...
