Front Porch Refresh

The new house is continually being worked on and improved, and I’m so so happy. It just feels like HOME. Pretend I’ve inserted a heart-eyed emoji here, y’all – that’s how in love this millennial is with her little brick basement ranch. We have little man’s birthday party coming up soon – like, in lessContinue reading “Front Porch Refresh”

DIY Faux Succulent Wreath

I love a good seasonal wreath – but I REALLY love love love a wreath that can be used in several seasons. Having décor pieces that can be kept up for more than a season – or even year round – makes housekeeping a little easier – and even better if it’s affordable! If youContinue reading “DIY Faux Succulent Wreath”

Entryway Décor

In our new home, our front door opens right into the living room. However, the previous owners (or, I guess, ONE of the previous owners) continued the kitchen flooring to, apparently, give it an entryway vibe. To help with the flow of the space, we’ve decided to continue to use the space in that way.Continue reading “Entryway Décor”

DIY Farmhouse Sign

I’ve been itching to do another simple, creative DIY project, and today I’m sharing the result! I started a new job at a local elementary school as the bookkeeper. I love the environment and the chance to serve kids and educators, and I’m loving the folks I work with so far, too! Having a newContinue reading “DIY Farmhouse Sign”

Easy DIY Kid’s Room Decor

When my little one was born, a wonderfully sweet lady at my church quilted him the most beautiful piece – a toddler-sized bedspread that matched our nursey theme of woodland animals.

Halloween Candy-Corn Jar Lanterns

I am joining the Halloween train, y’all. I don’t usually decorate for this holiday – for two reasons: #1) I love my fall décor and really dislike the idea of taking it down and then putting it back up through Thanksgiving, and #2) I don’t really love spooky stuff and I’m not a huge fan,Continue reading “Halloween Candy-Corn Jar Lanterns”

Fall Home Décor & Living Room Refresh

It’s fall, y’all! I know it’s just now September 1, but like I told my favorite Walmart cashier (and yes I have one because she is the sweetest), “if decorating early for fall makes you happy, then by all means, decorate early!” (We also talked about watching Hallmark Christmas movies, but that’s neither here norContinue reading “Fall Home Décor & Living Room Refresh”
