Hello Friends!! Today I thought it would be fun to take a look at just how different real estate photos can be vs. the style of photos I take, or magazines take to share our home. It’s always so funny to me that pictures showing the same room can look so different. As we got closer to putting our house…

Hello friends!! Well things have certainly been busy over here as we pack up and move out of our beloved home we’ve been in for the last 10 years. It’s bittersweet for sure, and crazy to think that I started my blog shortly after we moved in to document all the changes we had planned for this home! Before we move on to share all things “new home” I wanted to take a minute and recap a little bit about how much this home has meant to us, and share some of my favorite projects!! And I’m sharing it all in our 2nd YouTube video! Come and see ~
Hello Friends! I am honestly sitting here in shock as I type this. I honestly wasn’t sure if this day would ever happen, and I’ve played it over and over in my mind on how I would announce this, but no matter how many times I tried to think of a catchy title for this announcement, I just keep coming back to the fact that – WE ARE MOVING!! Honestly it still just feels so surreal to even be saying that, but the day has finally come that I get to share this joyous news with all of you!
Hello Friends!! Today I am sharing our daughters most recent bedroom makeover. I honestly can’t even believe I’m using the word “tween” to describe her bedroom, because after all she is still my baby girl. And while she will always be my baby, my now 10 year old daughter had been longing for a room that felt more like her, and a little less pink. She had been asking for her room to be painted blue for over a year, but patiently waited while we finished up other projects around the house. The time finally came for us to tackle her room, and she was more than happy to help me with the painting!
Hello friends! Today I’m sharing all the details on how we built our kitchen island countertop out of hardwood flooring. You’ve asked and now I’m showing you the entire process of what went into us building this countertop. I’m sharing all about how we built it, to how we installed it over our existing countertop, to how I finished it.
Hello Friends! It has been a while since I have shared a round up of my favorite home decor pieces, so I thought I would share some of the things that have caught my eye, and perhaps made it into my shopping cart this spring! I love incorporating a new throw pillow, or some faux florals to help usher in the new season, and nothing says spring quite like adding in some pops of green around your home! With spring just about in full bloom here in New England, I wanted to share some of my home decor favorites to kick off the season!
Hello Friends!! I’m so excited to share todays project with all of you, because it’s probably one of my most favorite faux treatments. I’m sharing all my tips, from prep work to paint sheen, to show you how I achieve this high-end look, for a fraction of the price. I know people don’t typically think about “decorating their ceilings”, but…

Hello Friends!! It’s Spring, it’s Spring!! Or so I’m telling myself that, because as I type this there it is snowing here in NH. Yes friends – SNOW, in April. Which for a New Englander is nothing new. Just as we are beginning to see buds on the trees and new life emerge from the ground, the threat of a spring snow is always a possibility. A common factor of spring in New England that I keep trying to teach my kids about. Thankfully it usually disappears as quickly as it shows up, but nonetheless just when you think winter is officially over, it comes back around for one more visit. So today, on this blustery Friday in New Hampshire, I’m sharing my favorite glimpses from Spring Tablescapes I’ve created for a little inspiration, and to help remind myself that Spring is officially here.
Hello Friends! So one of the projects I did during my winter “break” was painting lamps. Yes lamps! I’ve actually done this a few times before, and shared one recently HERE. It’s the perfect solution when you are wanting to refresh some items in your space without having to buy brand new. In this case however, I scored this pair of vintage terra cotta lamps off of Facebook marketplace the week before Christmas, but I just knew they would be perfect for what I was envisioning. Come and see how I painted these terra cotta lamps for a fraction of the price of the designer price tag!
