I thought it would be fun to take a look back at how much our dining room has changed over the last 3 years. The dining room wasn't really a major focus at first, other than painting it right away from yellow ... Read More about How our Dining Room has Progressed

My Tope 5 Inspiration Photos

02/03/2014 By Bre

3 Feb

As we talked about before, defining your own style is a popular topic of conversation. No matter where you are at in this process, it's always good to get fresh perspective. My go to for fresh perspective is Pinterest, but Houzz is another good one, and of course there is Google as well. Gaining a fresh perspective, or zoning in on one is a great place to start. Today I'm going to share with you my all time favorite pictures that if Genevieve Gorder popped up on my front porch for a makeover, I would show her these pictures as my inspiration. Sometimes you need a little fire under your butt to help you make a decision. Don't spend too long trying to decide if the photo is your style, if it ... Read More about My Tope 5 Inspiration Photos

Just popping in today to share with you my favorite recent pins! All of my projects and diying caught up with me this past week, and I totally crashed Wed. and Thurs. So I listened to my body, put everything on hold, took some naps, and enjoyed refreshing. I hope to get some pictures of everything over the next few days to share more with you, and I will be back on Monday with another post on how I get a clearer picture of what my style is, and you can too! Until then, enjoy the pins, and I hope you have a wonderful weekend doing whatever it is you are doing!via: Country Livingvia: NightingGale Designvia: Restoration Hardwarevia: Marin Home Magazinevia: Brandon Architects via: Atlanta ...

Wednesday Catch-Up!

29 Jan

Hello Friends!! We have been quite the busy little bees over here lately. With temps in the single digits lately, we have been in hibernation mode. Perfect time to bust out some projects from the to-do list. If you follow me on Instagram, than you know there are lots of things happening over here. For those not on Instagram I will fill you in a bit over here, and also provide a little more info for the Instagram posts you have seen.So we sold out black dining room table! I know you're thinking WHAT?! But yes, it was time to bid her farewell, and although I like the table much more once it was black, it still wasn't my dream table, which the hubby so sweetly offered to make. So first I had to ...

10 minute DIY Wall Art

01/20/2014 By Bre

20 Jan

Today I want to share with you a quick project, with few supplies needed, that almost anyone can do. I love decorating my walls with photos and art that celebrate our life. My kids, our family, and our marriage. I love all the arrow art that seems to be the latest craze and came up with this simple diy project after seeing this inspiration here. I didn't want to have to go out and buy anything to make this, so I strictly used what I already had so for me this project cost $0, but if you don't have everything, you won't have much to get :) I started with this free chalkboard background found here.Then I uploaded the image to Picmonkey, which is where I edit all of my photos. The thought ... Read More about 10 minute DIY Wall Art

Kitchen Details & Sources

So now that all the holiday dust has settled, and all those fun decor posts are done. Back to house stuff!! And onto a few details about our Kitchen Update. And I would like to remind you that other than painting and a few decor changes, there was no major renovation that took place! It's amazing the power of paint, and how that alone can transform a room. We started off with our main theme to de-brownize the space. While the cabinets are white, every other surface seemed brown, and appeared to take over the room.Before :So when we moved in it looked like this. Pretty much a blank slate. Since the kitchen was the only room in the house that wasn't painted yellow, this room was on the bottom ... Read More about Kitchen Details & Sources

Discovering Your Style with A Statement Chair

01/08/2014 By Bre

8 Jan

Now that all the christmas decor is put away, I always feel like the house feels like a clean slate. The new year poses a perfect time to redecorate or freshen up any room in your house, a chance to look at things differently, or finally create your favorite space. One of my main goals is "To help others Love the space they Live in." I don't care if you own or rent, you can Love any space you Live in. One of the things I hear most often is "I just can't seem to figure out what style I like" or "I don't know how to put things together" or even "I don't even know where to start". Sometimes a whole room can be intimidating when creating your favorite space, so lets break it down a bit and focus ... Read More about Discovering Your Style with A Statement Chair

I'm so excited today to be sharing our most recent family pictures. We had them done at the end of October, in the most perfect setting, with the most perfect light, and of course the most perfect kids. It's ok they are about the only thing I can be biased on and no one can tell me otherwise :) HA HA! Our photographer is AMAZING! I've shared before a few images she's captured, and this time is no different. She out did herself, and we are just in love with the outcome. I told her I'm going to paint my walls with her photographs, and now you can see what I mean. Here are some of my favorites :The last three photos are of just the hubby and me. I love that my husband totally puts up with me, ... Read More about Family Photo Shoot {2013}

I haven't ever done a Top 5 post on the blog before, so I figured it was time to give a try! It's always refreshing to look back from where you've come, and provides great motivation to keep moving forward, especially with the New Year right around the corner. Plus we did some projects this past year that were on the top of my list from when we moved into this house back in 2011, and it felt so good to cross them off the list.
