Finally!  I have finally finished {well, almost finished} my Basement Craft/Sewing Room!  Remember when I had a really cute sewing room upstairs in the 4th bedroom?  {click to see pictures}   Unfortunately, that room never ever worked out because I work late at night and it was directly near the kids’ rooms…. and well, you know…

We have been SO busy lately!  Etsy orders, putting up board and batten in our dining room (more on that next week!), getting ready for Ainsley’s birthday party, etc etc etc.  Here are a few quick photos of our family room…. surprisingly, I don’t know if I have ever shown pictures of our whole family…

There is definitely nothing “wrong” with our kitchen, but it needs some jazzing up, some life put into it, a touch of something.  Problem is I don’t know what to do with it. We have all new appliances (yes, I chose black over stainless steel), recently hung new Oil Rubbed Bronze light fixtures, I spray…

A long time ago, I started a few posts about redoing our living room.  Check out the posts here and here.  Well, it has been a loooong process only because we have had more important things to worry about (you know…kids, family, work, blah blah blah) However, I feel like we have finally made enough…

I FINALLY have a room to call my own!  So, so, so excited about this.  Since we moved in about 6 months ago (has it already been half a year?!), I have been so disorganized with my craft/sewing stuff and it was driving everyone crazy.  I had fabrics in almost every room, sharp pins were…

I am not loving our Master Bedroom right now.   Nothing seems to work together, but we do our best to use what we have to make it somewhat okay. We already owned the furniture and the bedding.  So we bought coordintating curtains and pillows from Pier One Imports.  We also painted the walls Sherwin Williams “Comfort Gray”…….

I am sure that everyone has a room in their house that they loathe, hate, despise, cry over….right?  Well, I definitely have that room and it’s our master bathroom.  It is horrible, awful, ugly, and a waste of space.  It’s one of those rooms that “appears” lovely and grand when you quickly glance at it,…

I decided it was time to add something else to the front door that we recently redid .  I simply cut out some vinyl lettering with my beloved Cricut machine and adhered them under the wreath.  Cute and friendly, right? Before:                                                                               After:                                                                        Hello, friends!

We finally got around to fixing up the kids’ bathroom. While it’s currently adorable and fun, it won’t stay like this forever because we eventually want to have a bathroom for overnight guests to use without feeling like they are 5 years old. However, our kids love it and that is the main thing. The…

A while ago, I had mentioned that we wanted to eventually redo the outside of our house. Read about it here . Just a reminder of what our house looked like last week: Not bad, just not “us”! We hadn’t planned on doing anything just yet because of several factors, the biggest factor being money…

It’s been a real busy month! Refer here to see all the before and “semi-after” pictures of our house. We are nowhere near done, but it’s getting there at a snail’s pace. Notice there are still no pictures of the upstairs, aside from Ethan’s Room? That is because the rest of is just not even…
