FINDING THE PERFECT DARK HARDWOOD FLOORS
Before we moved in, I knew I wanted to refinish the hardwood floors. We sanded and stained our floors in our old house-you can see evidence here. We did it once, and that’s enough to know that we won’t do it again 🙂 I just didn’t like having our house in disarray for so long…

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
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

MASTER BEDROOM INSPIRATION BOARD
As you know we recently moved to a new house-this is literally a dream come true for me, I have a blank slate and so many rooms to decorate. It’s a bit overwhelming because I want it all perfect pretty much immediately. I just have to remind myself that we were in our previous house…

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…

DINING ROOM REVEAL
As I mentioned earlier, we moved over the summer. We just wanted a quieter community and found a house and a neighborhood we really liked about an hour away. It was sad leaving our first home but we are excited to be in a new house. And I will stay busy decorating the rooms for…
