We put off the basement completion project a few weeks because of COVID, but once my husband got word his office would be opening up again in May, we felt better about moving forward. We have officially hired our contractor and we start the project on May 26th. Alongside the basement, he will also be…

Modern Finished Basement Ideas
We are in the process of getting ready to finish the basement. Basement finishing can be a huge headache, but it can also be super exciting and fun. I’ve been excited doing all the planning and gathering ideas. It’s different from when we initially built out house because we’re going a much more custom route…
DIY Mudroom Bench
One of my first projects in my new house was a DIY mudroom bench. We desperately needed a place to put our coats and boots, especially since we moved in during the winter. I was feeling a little intimidated by a project of this caliber, since the only wood working projects I’d done up until…
Extra Wide Barn Door Plans
I recently revealed my hall makeover, which included one of my projects to do this year–build a barn door to cover my closet entry. It’s always been super open and often a mess which I just wanted to sometimes close up. Occasionally when we entertain large groups, they need to use the master bathroom so…
Fall Home Tour Blog Hop
Me and eight other home bloggers got together for a fall home tour this year and today’s the day we’re sharing! We have all been so busy this season that most of us kept our decor pretty simple and are sharing one space. I’m sure that most of you can relate to being busy in…
How to Make a Corded Lamp Look Hardwired
I am so excited to share this project with you because it made me feel like a genius but really it was so simple! With some help from my smart hubby, I figured out how to make a corded lamp look hardwired! Not “hiding” them in plain site by a cord cover or whatever, but…
Layering Rugs in the Living Room
In my first attempt at layering rugs, I just bought two new rugs for my family room. We’ve lived in our house for less than five years and this is the third rug I’ve purchased. The first one I bought was good quality, but not a pattern I loved. The second one I love the…
Closet Hallway Makeover
A hallway is a random spot to makeover and frankly I didn’t even think this hallway needed any jazzing up. It goes between my bedroom and my bathroom and literally no one ever sees it except for me and my hubby. Here is the before… I recently did a linen closet overhaul and this is…
Spring Touches in February
I’m not one for going crazy on Valentine’s decorations but by February I’m dying for some color and spring! Is it weird to be decorating for spring this early? I don’t care, I’m doing it. Last year I got a bunch of really pretty faux spring florals from Balsam Hill but I’m so sad that…
Meaningful Holiday Home Tour Christmas 2018
I’m so excited to be participating in Laura’s Meaningful Holiday Home Tour again! I always have to start decorating the week after Halloween because it takes me so long, it’s such a delicate process for me. I am always adjusting and tweaking things to see how I like it better. And each year I end…
Halloween Home Tour 2018
I just switched my home decor from fall to Halloween. I loved what I did last year but this year I changed it up a little. I love adding in a few things that are spooky and eerie, but also classic Halloween. I didn’t post a fall home tour this year because I had just…
Farmhouse Master Bedroom Reveal
Sometimes when I plan what I want to do for a room in my house, I think about it for literally years. We have lived in our house for almost four years now and our farmhouse master bedroom has slowly gotten some upgrades. We got a new bed from One King’s Lane… Then I bought…
