You might be surprised by this, but I get asked quite a bit on how I came up with the name "Rooms For Rent" for my blog. And yes, every once in awhile I will get inquiries if I have "rooms for rent", lol. Yes, at one point we did rent out a room, more than once actually, to help out a local friend, but to clarify - no we don't have rooms for rent. But I wanted to share with you the story behind how I came up with this name for my blog, and what it means to me - and hopefully now you too! ...

DIY | Lime Wash Lamps
If you caught my spring mantle yesterday, than you may have noticed the addition of a new table lamp on my buffet in the dining room. I mentioned that the white lamp we used to have in the dining room, is now in the kitchen on the antique dresser. I used that lamp in our dining room on our buffet quite frequently, so I needed to replace it with something quick. I decided to give some older lamps a little makeover, so today I'm sharing just how I did that. ... Read More about DIY | Lime Wash Lamps

Farmhouse Style & My favorite things GIVEAWAY!
I can remember a time when I didn't know what Farmhouse style was. Heck, I don't even think Farmhouse was an option of a style you could even choose from. Nowadays it seems to be everywhere. Before, if you wanted farmhouse style you could had to DIY your own decor to get the look, because most of its' signature pieces were only found on curbside yard sales and in certain parts of the country. European grain sack fabric, original tobacco baskets only found in the south, antique dough bowls, dusty galvanized buckets. Now you can head to just about any home decor store and find those items on the shelves. ... Read More about Farmhouse Style & My favorite things GIVEAWAY!
10 Inspiring Spring Vignettes
Vignettes make my heart sing! I'm not quite sure why exactly I'm drawn to them so much, but I have been creating vignettes long before I knew that's what they were called. I would come home from school and spend hours in my room arranging my knick knacks into little vignettes on my dresser and my nightstand, and find myself so content. It's one of the first things I like to do welcome in a new season, so today I've rounded up some inspiring spring vignettes to share with you! ... Read More about 10 Inspiring Spring Vignettes
DIY Hanging Basket
Hello Friends! There's nothing like doing a little Spring DIY to get you in the mood for Spring. Our temps are still in the low 30's, and even though they appear to be stuck there, I'm willing my way into Spring with the decor inside our home. I've had this hanging basket for a few years now, but decided to give it a little makeover to freshen things up for Spring. Come and take a look! ... Read More about DIY Hanging Basket
DIY Antique Dresser
Friends!! Thank You SO much for all your kind remarks about the new antique dresser in our kitchen I shared with you yesterday!! Isn't it crazy, when you change up a space or look at an area in a new way in our homes how refreshing it can be! It was bittersweet for me to swap out the beloved bench we had there for so many years, but the truth was it just wasn't serving our families needs the best anymore. I no longer needed a spot to be able to sit my two toddlers to help with their shoes, and was in desperate need for some more storage, and this antique dresser provided all of that. As promised, I'm back today to share with you just how I gave this dresser a makeover to get the look you see ... Read More about DIY Antique Dresser
New Antique Dresser in the Kitchen
Hello Friends!! There is nothing like starting the week off with revealing a new project! I've been on "project organize the house" since all the Christmas stuff has long been put away. Really analyzing each area around our home to make sure it functions well for what our needs are as a family. I've been organizing our closets, and actually have a fun project planned for a back hall closet, which all got started by the re-evaluation of our current shoe situation in the kitchen. ...

A NEW Book & a GIVEAWAY!
Happy Friday Friends!! First I want to say THANK YOU so much for all of your sweet comments about how I decorated our entryway this year. I know sometimes in decorating it's easy to know what to do with the pretty stuff, but the unsightly everyday items we need can sometimes be more tricky... like a dog kennel, lol! You can see our refreshed entryway HERE, but today we are going to PARTY!! My friend Karianne from the blog Thistlewood Farms has a new book coming out, and guess what?! It features our entire house!! And to celebrate, we are doing a GIVEAWAY! ... Read More about A NEW Book & a GIVEAWAY!
Spring Entryway | 2019
Hello Friends! I was joking with a friend yesterday, and made the comment "One more week and we've made to March!". Here in New England our gray winter days can sometimes feel like the last forever, and this year I have found myself craving all things spring earlier and earlier. I'm joining some friends today as we share a little bit of spring around our homes, and I thought I would share how I'm spreading some spring in the entryway. ...

Paint Colors around our Home
Over the next month or so I'm in the process of updating all the sources and Main home tour for the blog. It's been seriously neglected, and I'm embarrassed to say that the last "official" Home Tour I have on the blog is from 2015! Yikes!! So I've been working on categories, and this is the next step. One of the most frequent inquiries I get is about the paint colors in our home. I will be creating a separate page just for the paint colors in our home, and be sure to tell you once it's up and where it is located, but in the meantime I wanted to give you an updated post of paint colors around our home, for anyone that has been curious. ...
