It started with an old church door...before the blog, before children, before marriage...
The Old Church Door
Flashback: Hall Bathroom Renovation
It's as vivid in my mind as if it were the other day - sitting on a wooden box, 9 months pregnant, handing my husband subway tile after subway tile as we hurried to finish our bathroom renovation before baby came. It's so hard to believe that it was 3 years ago this week!
Farmhouse Coffee Table Makeover
Have you ever had a piece of furniture or decor that had special meaning - perhaps a family heirloom or an item given to you by a loved one - but it just didn't work in your space? That was our coffee table situation.
A Christmas Tour
Only two days until Christmas! I've been excited but also a little frazzled this season because I finished gift shopping and wrapping much later than I usually do! I'm not so sure wrapping far in advance would've done me much good this year anyway, though - we've had to block off the tree with a baby gate because baby girl is determined to pull off every ornament and strand of ribbon that she can.

We had been married 2 months, and he now admits it was not … Continue reading Our First Ever House Project
Winter Botany Printables
It's beginning to look a lot like...Winter! It snowed here a few days ago! Like majorly snowed. It's not a common occurence to have such a big snow before Thanksgiving around here. Maybe a few flurries, but not the kind where school gets cancelled and the highways are a mess. I do remember it snowing on Thanksgiving when I was really little.
Tie-Up Curtain Tutorial
I had been looking for something to break up all the white. I mean, I love the brightness of my white kitchen - it's what I've always wanted - but it just needed some contrast.
The Dining Table That Could
One of my son's favorite books right now is "The Little Engine That Could." Having read this story a number of times (okay, a lot), it was the first thing that popped into my head when trying to figure out how to describe the transformation of this dining set.
