How many of us have a space that is simply just that...a space? A room with no functionality that easily becomes a drop zone where we throw our things and sort through later (or never). A room that we know needs a purpose, but can never quite nail it down. Welcome to my front room. Prior VIEW MORE
Early Fall Finds
It's here! It's here! One of my favorite days of the year! Every September 1st, I gush over my excitedness for all things fall, all things cozy, and all things holiday season. This marks the beginning of the holiday season for me. It's when I start to decorate my house for the fall season, set VIEW MORE
Board and Batten Paint Colors – And Examples to Prove It!
I've been ticking away at our front entryway and making it more of a space with function and purpose over where it stands now.

Modern Meets Traditional Staircase Remodel
I recently shared on my Instagram stories my questions, opinions, and doubts about my main stairway handrail. It was originally painted a bright white, and I never minded how it flowed seamlessly with my trimwork, risers, and baseboards. It was great and it worked, especially after I swapped out VIEW MORE
How to Install a DIY Stair Runner
In our Colonial-style home, we have one main staircase that leads right to our front door. It's the first thing you see when you walk in the house, a big focal point, and it was in need of some repair...for the second time. When we moved in to our little fixer upper, the stairs were dirty. And VIEW MORE

And with Memorial Day, Flag Day, 4th of July, and then Labor Day, why not leave it up all summer long?! Let that cute decor sit on your shelves VIEW MORE
Plug-In Wall Sconce How-To and My Favorite Ones on Amazon
With the weather being extremely uncooperative in the Midwest lately, I've had to take some major breaks from my garden bed project and move inside.

April 2022 Book Review
No better way to return from a slight blogging hiatus than with another round of my book review! Life got busy the last month. Kids were off school a lot more, projects were taking longer than normal (probably because of said kids...), and I was devoting my time to my home, my family, and all VIEW MORE

Here's hoping that we've endured our very last of winter weather here in Kansas City (did I just jinx this for us?!). And with the sunshine and warmer weather, it's time to refresh those neglected outdoor spaces around my home. We spend so much time outside once the weather turns warm that adding VIEW MORE
March 2022 Book Review
Another month, another round of diverse books that I read. Today is all about the THREE books I read in the month of March. One I must have been living under a rock to never have read it before (WOW!), one that just didn't match the hype, and one that has stuck with me since I finished the last VIEW MORE
