  • DIY SWISS CROSS COMFORTERS

    DIY SWISS CROSS COMFORTERS

    My original thoughts for the boy’s room was to have it all black and white. I just love the crisp look and feel of those colors. It also meant that if I was doing all the same two colors, I could play with patterns a lot. I love the swiss cross pattern and knew that’s…

  • HOMEWORK STATION/COMMAND CENTER MAKEOVER

    HOMEWORK STATION/COMMAND CENTER MAKEOVER

    We have this little area right off our kitchen that was probably meant as a butler’s pantry or something, but I saw it as the perfect little homework/command center area. A place where we put the mail, charge our phones, put the kids homework, have a junk drawer, etc. You can see in the before picture…

  • FIREPLACE MAKEOVER WITH BARN DOOR

    FIREPLACE MAKEOVER WITH BARN DOOR

    This fireplace is one of my favorite things in my house. I totally revamped it and just love how it turned out. It was just a generic fireplace like all the other ones in houses built 10 years ago, but now it is totally unique to our house. I want to walk through some of…

  • {diy} HAIRPIN LEG SIDE TABLE

    {diy} HAIRPIN LEG SIDE TABLE

    I love these hairpin leg tables. I’m kind of obsessed with the industrial look right now. It’s a juggle for me because I really like to feel cozy at home, but I also love the industrial look (which can seem cold because of all the metal). So I have been trying to balance the metal with…

    ANTIQUE HUTCH TO A KITCHEN ISLAND

    We bought our previous home from a friend from church who was moving to a retirement facility. She left some furniture in the house which was greatly appreciated since we had very little of our own at the time. In the workshop in the basement there were a few tables-which my husband loved and we used…

    IKEA HACK >> KITCHEN STOOL

    I have bought a fair share of furniture from IKEA lately… mostly because it’s inexpensive and I love shopping there because it reminds me of when we were in Europe 🙂 There are so many ways to make normal items from IKEA stand out and seem a bit more refined. Have you guys seen this website-dedicated…

  • A GALLERY WALL

    A GALLERY WALL

    I see beautiful gallery walls all over. If it were up to me I would have gallery walls in every room covering the walls-wait it IS up to me… So far I have a gallery wall in three rooms I have started working on in our house. I wanted to show you the first one…

  • INDUSTRIAL PICTURE FRAME

    INDUSTRIAL PICTURE FRAME

    A few months ago my husband and I went to Europe and I realized I had no pictures of our trip in our house. I spent so much time taking pictures of everywhere we went I thought it was a shame those pictures were just sitting in a folder on my computer. I saw these…
