Isn’t Winter beautiful? It’s a marshmallow world out there, folks! Do you know what one of my favorite things about Winter is this year? Nope, not sledding. Not hot chocolate. Not warming up next to the fire pit. It’s all those amazing Winter scenery pictures that keep popping up in Pinterest. This is one stunning […]

Make Your Own Red Cross-Style Accessories
Have you been noticing all this Red Cross (and black cross, and beige cross) type of decor around lately? I thought I had, so I went and looked it up in Google Images, and actually, didn’t really find too much. A few pillows, some little jars and stuff, but not as much as I thought […]
Upstairs Bedroom Progress
Remember that room we were working on upstairs? That hideous dental office green room? Well, we’re still plugging away, of course. That’s what we do. I just had to show you some of the progress and the excitement that we’ve been having up there though. So right now we’re working on installing the beadboard ceiling. […]
Look what/who Santa brought!
Hey everyone, meet Marsha! Santa dropped her off at our house for Kennedy on Christmas eve, so she’ll be joining Sammy as one of our lucky and spoiled pets! She’s a perfect little 5 month old kitten that Santa adopted for us from the SPCA and as you can see, she’s right at home already! […]

The New Life-Changing Table has Arrived!
My Christmas gift from my (well, one of my sets of) parents this year was a new kitchen table. Let me just tell you: It is all kinds of awesome. Oh and we’re talking about the table today, not the kitchen, so just ignore the mess! This is exactly the big heavy table with black […]
A Tour of the Little Things
When I look back on pictures of our house from Christmas last year, I really think it looks kind of sad and pathetic.I mean, that’s good right? It means we’re making progress and the house is coming along! The only thing is, I don’t think it’s entirely accurate and that kind of bugs me. I […]
My No-Theme, No-Scheme Tree
I feel like I’m being just a tiny bit rebellious here. As a home blogger, I kind of have an obligation to bring you inspiration and pretty pictures to look at. I most definitely should have some kind of designer Christmas tree. I mean, having a kids’ tree is fine. Multi-colored lights and mis-matched ornaments […]
DIY No-Sew Tree Skirt
My friends, I have never owned a tree skirt. I’ve always just bunched up a length of whatever fabric I could find that looked good or a table cloth into a sort of fluffy tree-base cloud. It’s always been fine, especially because it usually lasts about 5 days until it’s all covered by presents anyway. […]
No-Sew DIY Table Runner Made From Napkins
Red and white at Christmas is my very favorite. So why do I use so many other color-schemes too? Well, I also love those and I just want to enjoy it all, but red and white is at the top of the list. I picked up just two of these snowflake napkins at Target last […]
Paper Lunch Bag Advent Calendar
Well, I realize the time for advent calendars started five days ago, but I wanted to share this fun idea today anyway. If you still want to make something like this, you could even do a 12 days of Christmas thing and have plenty of time left this year to get it together. Let me […]
A Simple Wintery Tablescape: Set it and forget it-style!
With our new kitchen table arriving soon, this dining room won’t be getting too much action this Christmas season. We’ll have our big dinners in the kitchen and probably most of our day-to-day meals too. This dining room gets to become the fun room! The one we can keep pretty and then only use on […]
