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! As promised, I’m back today to share with you just how I gave this dresser a makeover to get the look you see today. Just wait until you see the Before!
Hello Friends!! I don’t know about you, but after the house has been cleaned, and organized and everything put back in its rightful place, sometimes during this time of year, these long winter days can feel relentless. Well at least here in New England. Instead of wishing these months away, I tend to gravitate towards doing a project. It doesn’t have to be a big project, sometimes just a simple DIY to help the days pass and get out some of that creative energy from being cooped up inside does the trick. So I’ve gone through past post, and rounded top 5 DIY’s to help us get through these long winter days, just in case you happen to be craving something to do!
This year I’ve really been embracing the “fresh start” mentality that comes with the new year. I’ve been cleaning out closets and drawers. And one of those places I’ve ignored for far too long is the buffet in our dining room. So today I’m sharing some simple things I did to organize the buffet and made it SO much more efficient.
If you follow me on Instagram, you may have caught a sneak peak of a little makeover I did towards the end of last week. As I was settling back into my routine here at home after my trip to Waco, I finally got the nerve to see if I could give my kitchen shelves a little makeover. It was like my brain needed a little break, as it was still processing all the wonderful things from last weekend, and a little DIY was just what I needed. I had been contemplating giving our kitchen shelves a makeover a few times before, but just never got up the gumption to tackle it. Well, I did! And I think you will love the outcome!
I took the plunge. I pulled the trigger, and I didn’t look back, and you want to know what?! I am LOVING it!! If you caught my post last week, than you probably already know what I’m talking about. I shared how I was contemplating a few different dark shades of gray-navy blue, and how honestly I had been wanting to paint this color for over a YEAR! Yes you read that correctly, over a year! While I’m happy to say, I made a choice, I took the leap, I went for it, and I LOVE it!! Yep, it’s true! I painted our dining room, after debating to do it for over a year, and I love the new darker color! Take a look!
Hello Friends!! It is no exaggeration when I tell you I have been waiting a whole year to paint this new darker color! Yep, a whole YEAR! You see I contemplated it for a while, would try to discard the urge, and tell myself I didn’t need too, but it would keep coming back! Like a bad craving for something chocolate. I can’t believe I waited a whole year to paint this color. Sometimes you just gotta take a leap!
Hi Friends!
Thank you so much for all your sweet comments about our new outdoor dining area that we extended! We have already been using it as our primary eating spot, and I’m currently typing this post out there as we speak! It truly feels like a little escape, and being outside surrounded by nature is exactly how I want to be spending my summer. I mentioned in my post on Monday I would share how I did the brick landscaping border in this area, I promise it really easy super easy, because I do not consider myself a landscaper at all! Here’s how I installed this easy landscaping border.
Hello Friends!! Thank you so much for stopping by yesterday, and visiting my summer home tour! In case you missed…

If you follow me on Instagram, than you may have seen some sneak peeks of a little master bedroom makeover I’ve been working on! Honestly I was just ready for a change, and a dark moody color. And since our master bedroom isn’t very big, it makes painting the room pretty easy.At first I was thinking of just painting my nightstand dresser a lighter color since the walls are a new darker color. I was just about ready to do so, and figured I should at least see if I can sand off some of that paint and uncover raw wood. And you know what?! I did just that.
