So with homeschooling about to start up (which I’ve done nothing with so far except order the curriculum which is still in the big white boxes), I decided to make part of the gameroom upstairs into our little classroom area. I think having a dedicated space is important so crap isn’t thrown all about the house and I forget where… View Post
Everybody loves beautiful mouldings right? If you don’t, then you should. Mouldings and wainscoting make a home SO much more cozy and inviting, and personal. I’ve done quite a few moulding projects around our house, and NEED to do more. I have to disclose that this is a sponsored post by Metrie and all opinions are of course mine and… View Post

Hope you all had a lovely weekend! I am excited to show you all the beginnings of a new gallery wall that I started in the gameroom! And it was super easy because I have the ledge up there on the board and batten, so I just leaned them up in a row. Easy peasy. [pinit count=”horizontal”] I am in… View Post
I wasn’t even going to write about the girls’ Veggie Tales birthday party we just had, because as I had said in this post about extravagant parties, you know how I feel about those. BUT, their Veggie Tales cakes that my mom made I just have to share with you so I decided to show with you a very frugal… View Post
So, we went to IKEA yesterday. On a Sunday. Crazytown. I always try to plan my trips to IKEA on the weekdays when the madness is less, the lines aren’t a mile long, and when the bathrooms are actually in working order. But we went on a whim because there was a particular rug I wanted to get that I… View Post
You know that time you had kids and wanted to give them moon and the stars, and the best birthday party ever? That time you went all out and spent a lot of money in the process? That time you spent hours cleaning, decorating, and preparing food for the party? Well, this year I am taking a stance and saying… View Post
You know how sometimes you think moving furniture around is such a huge ordeal, or you are scared to try something, so you just let your furniture placement sit like it is forever? Well that was me. Sure I will move a table or a few chairs around here and there, but for the most part, our living room has… View Post
So I want to know, how many lamps do you have in your living room? Our living room recently got a little big switcheroo by my hubby when I was out of town last week. So props to him because I actually LIKE it! But one thing I hate using is our overhead lights that are in the 2-story ceiling… View Post
Ahhh cowhide. It’s here to stay. You just can’t quit cowhide. And don’t worry, if you aren’t a cowboy or a cowgirl you can still love cowhide. Just like me. And today I’m going to show you all a few different ways to decorate with it, since I am participating in Beth from Home Stories A to Z’s How To… View Post
So I’ve been thinking a lot lately about our home. What to do next. What to do for US and not jump the gun at what everyone else is doing sort of thing you know? But lately I can’t get images out of my head of rooms that have dark wainscoting. I know I know. Everyone typically does white. And… View Post
Happy Monday everyone I hope you had a wonderful weekend! Today I am thrilled to share with you all how you can easily install those beautiful wood beams that you see everywhere, in your own home!
