Last year I saw all these DIY bloggers making pillows out of placemats and I thought it was a genious idea. So right after last Christmas I scoped out Target and found this placemat for $1.98. I snapped it up and decided that I would be ahead of the game and make a pillow from …
Over a year ago we got new couches. And when we put our old couch out to the curb we put the old ottoman out as well. It was broken and coming apart at the seams. Our boys had used and abused it, and it was time. For a year we kept an eye out …
I can hardly believe how quickly time seems to go sometimes. We have now had our Dinelli sofa and love seat for over a year. I wrote up a little 6 month review and since it’s now been a year I wanted to update you all on how they are doing. Here’s what they looked …
As I mentioned last week I’ve declared war on all the junk piles and overstuffed drawers in my home and I’m tackling one room per week to try to get things organized and Spring cleaned. This past week I completed the master bedroom. Here’s the to-do list: empty out everything (drawers, closets, etc) and evaluate …
You ever feel like your house is just in utter chaos? I know, if you’re like me and you have little kids some of it just can’t be avoided. Sometimes it’s all about surviving and making sure you love on those babies even if there is a pile of books covered with dust bunnies sitting …
I mentioned last Friday that my new backsplash is one of my favorite things and it truly is. This afternoon I’m sharing all the details and my full MusselBound Tile Mat Review! So forever (nearly 4 years) ago we bought our first home. The First Parts of Our Kitchen Renovation And it came with a …
I can hardly believe it but it’s been six months since we got our new sofa and loveseat. Our old sofa was broken and sunk down way low in some areas so it was very much time to let it go and get something new. We shopped around a few places and ultimately ended up …
I don’t know about you, but I could always use a little more help becoming more organized. As much as I’m type-A and I love all things to be in their place I certainly don’t have it all together- especially since having our second son. You would think that in the last year and a …
We’ve lived in our home for about 3 1/2 years now. We’ve done a whole lot to our home in that time. We’ve painted nearly all the ceilings, trim, and walls, replaced the flooring in nearly every room (excluding the two bathrooms we’ve yet to redo). In the kitchen we painted the cabinets and replaced …
A couple of months ago my husband and I were yard-sailing with the kids and we happened upon an estate sale. There was not a ton that we were really interested in buying but the former owner was a collector and had a lot of interesting collections which made for fun browsing. In the basement …
I mentioned about a month ago that we got new couches for our living room. With the new set up we needed an end table to go in the corner between the two. I did not want to spend a ton of money because like I said about the couches, I don’t see this as …
So our home is from 1989. And the deck is too. The prior owners had stained it twice. It’s been in need of redoing since we moved in over three years ago, but this summer it finally made its way up to the top of the to do list. Now let me just say this …
