DIY Chalk Painted Cabinet

07/08/2017 By Bre

One of my favorite transformations to do is making over a piece of furniture. I love that for a fraction of the price of buying a new piece, you can make existing furniture work with a little elbow grease. That was just what was needed for the little cabinet we have in our downstairs bathroom when we gave it a makeover. The best part about this little DIY was I completed it in a day, so if you are looking for something fun to do this weekend, or coming week, this is a great project that anyone can tackle.

Summer Tour of Homes 2017

05/22/2017 By Bre

With summer on the brain, I’m sharing a few tweaks I did to our home to get ready for the warm months ahead. Of course one of my most favorite ways to decorate is with fresh flowers and greens. Let no branch be left behind, ha ha. You can always find me outside in our yard, or perhaps my neighbors (he he) clipping away and bringing in whatever I find to be placed in a jug, or a jar somewhere throughout our home. I’m joining a few of my blogging friends who are also sharing glimpse’s of their homes for summer as well.

Bathroom Makeover Reveal

04/28/2017 By Bre

Friends, today is the day! I’m finally sharing our bathroom makeover reveal! I wanted to keep the overall feel of the design of the bathroom vintage yet classic. It was important to me to choose elements that not only complimented our style, but complimented our house too. Since we live in an old farmhouse, even though we were adding all brand new pieces I wanted them to feel like they matched the era of the house, and would feel like they always belonged.

Favorite Spring Home Decor

04/10/2017 By Bre

Spring is in the air! Or so I can finally say that because our temperatures finally reflect it! After much snow and cold temps, this week things are finally looking like they are warming up. I’m anxious for our trees to start budding again and for some pops of green, and I never thought I would be saying this, but I’m anxious to be able to start working in our yard again. I love sharing with you my favorite home decor choices, so today I’ve rounded up my favorite spring home decor picks for this year! Even though I’ve already decorated our home spring, here are a few things that have caught my eye that I absolutely love!

A Season of Change

04/07/2017 By Bre

I’ve been contemplating something for quite a while. Well stewing over it more or less. This week I finally said the words out loud, and there is something about verbalizing a thought out loud that makes your decision that much clearer. For me it brought confirmation, because instead of hesitation or adding more questions, it brought peace. And that was all the reassurance I needed. Let me rewind.

I shared earlier this week that it was 6 years ago on March 28th that we signed on our first home! To celebrate that milestone I’m sharing how different rooms in our house have progressed over these past 6 years. Yesterday I shared how our Dining Room has evolved over the past 6 years into the space you see today! If you haven’t had a chance to see it yet, you can click HERE to see the transformation! There are lots of fun before and progress pictures I’m sure you will enjoy! Today I’m sharing our Living Room Progression, and how this room has evolved over the past 6 years. It’s undergone quite the transformation as I discovered my true style and really established what I love in my home.

Dining Room Progression

03/29/2017 By Bre

When we first moved in pretty much every room in the house was yellow, and I couldn’t wait to put my signature on it. I was excited to make this house a home. Today I’m going to share our Dining Room progression over the past 6 years.

Celebrating Milestones

03/28/2017 By Bre

Six years ago today my husband and I did our 4th serious grown-up accomplishment. We sat down and signed away what felt like our life, and some of the scariest documents we had ever seen, but what turned out to be one of the most exciting things we did together. Although it was extremely intimidating and there were moments that felt like this was never going to happen, on March 28th, 2011, only 10 weeks after the birth of our second child, we bought our first house. I can still remember sitting there with butterflies in my stomach of severe excitement and also anxiety of what would happen to us if this all went south. There’s no guarantees in life, and so when you commit to a bank for the next 30 years of finances, you pretty much feel like you are signing your life over. Little did I know that owning our first home would inspire me to document all my transformations that resulted in starting this blog.
