Hello Friends! Happy Friday!! Yes you read that title correctly - we rented a BobCat! My son liked to joke the whole time saying "Where I don't see a bobcat?!". He thought he was pretty funny! I shared in my landscaping post, we have totally switched gears after renovating our master bathroom and turned our attention towards our outdoor spaces. So to tackle one of our bigger projects we rented a bobcat, cleared some land, and laid down some crushed stone. The same kind of stone we used in our outdoor patio area. So today I'm going to show you the area we cleared, and how we install our crushed stone. ... Read More about We Rented a BobCat
Pretty in Pink Centerpiece Tutorial
Hello Friends! Mothers day is fast approaching, and if you caught this years mothers day tablescape, then you know I went all "Pretty in Pink", with some beautiful pink ranunculus. I am no florist by any means, but I've thrown together an arrangement from time to time. I usually love to enlist the help of my talented friend Christi from Twig & Tulip. She is what I like to call a ninja master when it comes to arranging beautiful flowers. She created the lovely arrangement on last years Mother's Day tablescape, and so many more for other tablescapes I've done in the past. But every now and then (usually when I procrastinate) I try my hand at it. I think arranging flowers is definitely one ... Read More about Pretty in Pink Centerpiece Tutorial
Late Spring in our Living Room
Hello Friends, and happy Monday!! I'm so excited to be joining in with some friends today for a little look around our home. Spring finally hit us last week. Like finally. It's my favorite couple of weeks, and I'm not quite sure if I love it more than fall ( I think I do), because with everything starting to bloom, it feels so magical. It's the best reward after a long winter, and the anticipation and excitement each tiny bud brings is a reminder of lazy summer days ahead. We also have a few birthdays in the house, so spring brings on the excitement in celebrating my sons and my birthday that are only a day apart. It was such a treat last week, not only to celebrate our birthdays, but ... Read More about Late Spring in our Living Room
What’s For Dinner?
Do you dread that question? Nothing hits me more like a ton of bricks than when my kids ask me "what's for dinner", and I don't have an answer. I've mentioned before that this season in our life definitely has it's moments of being "busy", and I'm told it only increases as we get into those teen years. When my kids were little I really started getting serious about cutting our processed foods, and being conscious of ingredients and what we were eating. But lately with spring sports in full swing, weeknight programs, and work getting busy, I'm finding myself reaching for the box of Annie's mac & cheese more and more. I once heard the saying that when a creative person gets interrupted ... Read More about What’s For Dinner?

Pretty in Pink Mother’s Day Tablescape
Hello Friends! It's hard to believe but Mother's Day is just around the corner. I can't think of a better way to celebrate than gathered around the table. Laughing, sharing memories, and of course taking time to be with one another. I think there is nothing more than moms would rather do, then to sit around the table with the ones you love, and cherish the time spent together. Unless you are a mom of toddlers, and all you want is to be able to go to the bathroom by yourself and a nap! Believe me, I get it, I've been there too, but as my kids get a little older, they love to love on their mama, well anyone for that matter. Through our example they have know the treasure it is to celebrate ... Read More about Pretty in Pink Mother’s Day Tablescape
50+ Outdoor Patio Furniture
Hello Friends! Happy Wednesday! If you caught my post yesterday, than you know I have outdoor spaces on the brain! I shared some of our landscaping plans for this year, along with a few glimpse's around our yard, so if you haven't seen the outside of our house before, click HERE. This year, along with adding more plants, we want to add a pergola with another outdoor sitting area. I shared in yesterday's post that at first our yard was very overwhelming as a whole, but I found it much easier if I broke it up into designated areas, almost like decorating different rooms in our house. So I've rounded up 50+ of my favorite outdoor patio furniture and accessories, which totally help my vision ... Read More about 50+ Outdoor Patio Furniture
Landscaping Plans
Hello Friends! It seems like our weather has finally made a turn towards spring. Dare I say here to stay. I mean we just had snow this time last week, and growing up in New England you don't really start to get your hopes up that spring is finally here to stay until about mid-May. I've had snow on my birthday before which is in the first week of May, so it's normal to feel like we have to hold our breath and just wait and see, lol. However this past weekend with temps reaching into the 60's was a welcome sight. We began doing some yard work over the weekend and it felt so good to dust the last bits of winter off. And now I have the itch, ha ha! I had shared before, that now with our master ... Read More about Landscaping Plans
12 Modern Farmhouse Floor Plans
Hello Friends! After so many of you commented on how much you loved my previous round up of 10 Modern Farmhouse Floor plans, I decided to do it again, this time with twelve NEW ones! Honestly, I didn't think I would find 12 more out there that I loved just as much, but I did! I know I can lost for hours looking through floor plans, it's so much fun to imagine layouts, set up furniture arrangements in my mind, and envision family life taking place in these spaces. While we still have no intention of moving, it is definitely something we've talked about being in the 5 year plan for our family. We love our 1846 farmhouse, and while I joking refer to it as the "house that built me" because my ... Read More about 12 Modern Farmhouse Floor Plans
Details about our Master Bathroom
Hi Friends! If you tuned in yesterday than you caught our Master Bathroom Reveal. I got so many beautiful comments on how the space turned out, and I have to say we are so pleased with the outcome. Actually my husband even remarked how it doesn't even feel like the same space it used to be. We feel like we are staying in a high end bed and breakfast on the cape, so I'll take that as a design plan win, because that's exactly what I was going for. I mentioned in the reveal I would be back today to share a few more details, because I could have turned the reveal post into a novel, lol. Plus I always like to see more of the transition process in a makeover, and yesterday post was more focused on ... Read More about Details about our Master Bathroom

In case you missed my post about adding in the tile, I shared how much of impact the tile really did make to transform this space, and a valuable lesson in doing home renovations. I case you missed it, I encourage you to read that post first, HERE, it will help show you how this whole space came together. ... Read More about Master Bathroom Reveal
We have Tile
Friends, I am SO excited!! In just 2 days I will be sharing the final reveal of our master bathroom makeover, and I can't wait! Last week we finished up the tile, after some very long days of grouting. I learned a valuable lesson while doing this makeover with my hubby, it's about the 15th reno project we've tackled together. So before the reveal I wanted to share some snapshots of our tile progress with you, because it really was the game changer that helped transform our bathroom. To say it's unrecognizable to us - is an understatement. But you will see what I mean with the final reveal in a couple of days. ... Read More about We have Tile
