Have you ever tried to make a wreath out of fresh greenery at Christmas time? Maybe you had some extra branches you trimmed off your tree, or maybe you picked up some of those bunches of  greenery you can get at the grocery store this time of year. You can either just bunch the branches […]

Just as promised, here’s yet another progress report on the front hall! We got a new light! Of course, you can hardly see it in these pictures, but I just want you to know that it’s not for a lack of trying! We got it from The Home Depot down the street and Chris just […]

Storage find of the century, my friends! I was walking through the end-of-season clearance section of the Walmart garden center and look what I found! Now, they’re actually meant to be used as planters that you can empty and store flat during the Winter, but don’t tell Chris’ T-shirts that! I got them on clearance […]

OK, so by now you must know, even if you’ve only been reading this blog for 5 minutes, that I’m not a “Oh here’s the before shot of my room and then, BAM, here you have my after” kind of girl. I’m more of a “OK, so here’s the before shot, and now here’s one […]

Remember way way way back in the day when I showed you how we had a half-torn down wall in our bedroom? Chris started on that last Fall, just to peek behind and see what was there. Randomly, a couple of days ago, he decided to try tearing down the rest of it. I just […]

Over the river and through the woods, to Kennedy’s room we go! I just had to show you all this change we made in there recently because I can’t believe what a big difference it’s made. Here’s how the room looks now: And here’s how it looked before: OK, there are a few changes since […]

The other day, I painted a dresser. I’ve felt so much better every time I look at it ever since. You don’t often get to see in our bedroom because it’s half-torn apart and also not really a renovating priority right now, but that’s where the dresser is, so today’s your lucky day! I did […]

Today marks post number 4365 about the front hall. Not really, but almost. Are you getting tired of it yet? ‘Cause I’m not! I’m just assuming you’re like me here and you’re all nosy and just like to snoop around people’s houses and have every little detailed posted about. Twice. So I added another little […]

Ha! Get it? The title says “Signs that Christmas is Near” and this post is about a sign that I made. And it’s for Christmas! I crack me up. So you can see that we’re up to our necks in perfect Fall scenery around here, but the time has come to start thinking about what […]

I added a door knocker on to our mudroom door the other day. Pretty, right? My mom sent it to me a year ago when we moved in and I hadn’t gotten around to drilling it into the door, so it just sat in a drawer, waiting. Well, I really wanted to see how it […]
