I have this bed and I love it. The thing is, it’s an Ikea bed. You know, the ones with the slats. I also really love the look of bed skirts and the two just don’t seem to mix. I’ve tried, but it always ends up being kind of a big mess and not looking […]
Master Bedroom Update: The Painting is Done!
I’ve been continuing to work, little by little, on the master bedroom and I think it’s about time for a little update, don’t you? To get caught up, you can see where we started here, and then see more about what I did with the closet doors here. There, you’re caught up! So here’s where […]
Easy DIY Barnwood Hook Board (that anyone can make!)
I whipped this big hook board up last week in no time flat. It got me thinking: Why do we ever buy those teeny, overpriced, bland-looking, pre-made hook boards? Why? If I can make one of these, then anyone can! I started out with this extra piece of barn wood that I found in the […]

It’s pretty bad in here. We’ve lived with walls like this in the master bedroom for the last two years (minus that bit of white trim that I’d already started painting in this picture) Honestly, it’s made me feel pretty sad and hopeless at times when I’ve walked in here. It’s just so much darkness […]
Easy Layered Tropical Jello Dessert
Last Summer, Kennedy and I had a great time making all kinds of treats during the weekdays when she was home from her various camps. Cooking with kids is probably the greatest trick ever for a mom. First of all, it accomplishes something (Hey look! I made dessert tonight!), and second of all it keeps […]
Can you tell me what this plant is?
Our walks down by the creek lately have been beautiful. The wheat fields are turning a nice gold color and getting ready for harvest time. There are all kinds of wild flowers growing along the banks of the creek, which is huge because of all the rain this year. I’ve been in love with this […]
