How To Hang Plates On Your Wall

Last week I shared a little tour of my dining room. I got a few questions about the plates, so I thought I’d tell you more info. A few are actual vintage plates I bought in an antique shop, a few are sentimental ones I’ve collected over the years, but most were purchased for the […]

Functional & Beautiful: My Dining Room Tour

This is my first formal dining room in any of the houses we’ve lived in. In our last house, we chose to make the dining room into an office and we were happy with that choice. You can see from the placement of this dining room that it offers no privacy. I’ve worked hard creating […]

Renovation: Wall Repair, Wood Floor Progress, and Tile Goes Down (Phase 2)

You can tell from the photos that some of these renovations were happening simultaneously with Phase 1 – I loved that everything was happening so fast! Phase 2 involves Repairing Walls, Progress on the Wood Floor, and Tile! This was at the start of ripping up the wood floor – take a look at that water-ruined […]

Renovation: Materials Chosen and Painting Started (Phase 1)

Remember my Water Lalapalooza 2016 post? If you didn’t see that, I’ll summarize by saying that we had some water damage thanks to a missing washer on the hose of our washing machine. We took the list of repairs paid for by our home insurance and used the chance to add some upgrades. These were things on my […]

5 Minute Organizing Projects: Small Games

As if there weren’t enough NEW things happening around here (remodeling and repairs started here today, the new planner season just started, and considering everything new that comes with moving and settling in a new area), I thought I’d start another new thing. I’ve shared quick tips for organizing that can be done very quickly, so now I’m […]

New House BEFORE Pictures (Finally!)

We moved furniture into this house on Labor Day weekend. In celebration of a month living in our new house in Texas, I thought I’d share the pictures I took the day before the furniture arrived. I call these the “before” pictures. Of all the homes I looked at, I chose this house, so obviously […]

Water Lalapalooza 2016

I just told you earlier this week that I had lots of plans of things to get done this week, but I got a little sidetracked to say the least. I also wanted to write a blog post about choosing paint colors, because there are lots of walls around here full of paint sample blobs […]

Dining Room Tour {2016 Update}

My dining room is a happy spot in my home for me. Besides the most obvious reasons of all the family time spent here, another reason is because I’ve decorated it with colors that brighten my mood. And another reason is that I don’t keep very much in here, so it is very easy to […]

The Dining Room {Home Tour}

I’m thrilled to show you my dining room! I’ve made a few little changes lately and the effect has been dramatic! It is amazing what a few things can do. One of the things I’ve done is sew new curtains. I sewed these old ones as well and I loved them for a long time, […]

My Kitchen

Our dining area: picking out the lighting was one of the bigger perks of a custom build. And that table? Overstock.com! Really! My place for my favorite dishes, which reminds me: I need to use these more. I’m pretty sure this wreath is St. Patrick’s decor, but it totally fit my color scheme. I made the […]
