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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

My Mudroom Area Tour

Over the years, I’ve mentioned mud areas several times, and I’ve shared pictures on Instagram when I repainted the top of it last year, so when I searched my blog for a post about it, I was surprised to find I’ve never shown my mud area on the blog. I’m going to fix that little […]

The Living Room {Home Tour}

My living room. It shows up in a lot of random posts on the blog, but I realize I’ve never actually shown you the entire room in one post. I’m remedying that right now and showing you the second most frequently used room in my house (it is a close second to the kitchen). A […]

Quilted Sunrise

I love sunrises. I’m not a morning person (yet) at all and very rarely see the real thing, so I love finding things that remind me of sunrises. I especially love the sun rising behind hills and mountains. It is the inspiration for the color palette of my entire home. And it is why I […]
