A VERY SPOOKTACULAR HALLOWEEN TABLESCAPE
There's nothing I love more than fall. The weather is cool, the trees turn golden, pumpkins everywhere, and Christmas is just around the corner. This is my happy time and probably it's yours too. I mentioned in my last Halloween wreath blog post that I normally...
MAKE A SPOOKY-CHIC HALLOWEEN WREATH IN JUST 20 MINUTES
October is here and that means it's time to decorate! I love to decorate for every season, but some years Halloween gets left out. Not by choice, I'm not against it or anything, it's just that I'm usually already too focused on planning my Thanksgiving and Christmas...

Hello friends, if you haven't already done so it's time to break out the pumpkins! I love decorating the house this time of year, and one of my favorite ways to do so is with whitewashed pumpkins. If you're unfamiliar with whitewashing pumpkins have no fear... it's...
EASY DIY FALL APPLE WREATH
Hello blog readers I am back! Some of you may not know this but my blog has been gone for nearly 3 weeks. I had a notification of a comment from a reader and when I went to respond poof... my blog had disappeared! I’ll keep this brief because nobody wants to read a...
APPLE PIE BODY SCRUB
It's not officially fall yet, but once September 1st gets here all bets are off around here and we go into full fall mode. The beginning of fall is just so truly magical that I like to be prepared for it so I can savor every precious moment. To me fall means warm...
MEDIA ROOM REVEAL
Hurray! At last our media room is complete, and I am so excited to share the reveal with you! Remodeling this space during Covid was a challenge, and it really slowed our progress. We had to schedule wood delivery to our home because local wood supply stores were...
A SUMMER TABLESCAPE WITH LEMONS & FLOWERS
Nothing is more enjoyable to me than having a nice meal at a beautifully set table. These days it's challenging to bring everyone together for a sit down meal, but I've noticed having a lovely tablescape encourages people to come together for meal times. It creates...
DIY EASY SUMMER HYDRANGEA WREATH
Our back deck is nearly done, I'm just waiting on Brian to finish a few small details and then it will be up on the blog. In the meantime I've noticed how lonely our door looks and decided to make a nice summery wreath for it. I chose hydrangeas and roses because...

RED, WHITE, & BLUE TRIFLE
We're less than a week away from July 4th and I wanted to share my delicious red, white, and blue trifle dessert with you. This trifle is an absolute favorite dessert of ours all through the summer but especially for our 4th of July celebrations. Years ago, and I...
4TH OF JULY FIREWORK ORNAMENTS
I'm back today with another fun 4th of July craft project! These firework ornaments are a perfect way to add a little spirit to your home, inside or out. As I explained in my last blog post, the fireworks were cancelled this year so I'm trying to find cute little...
DIY 4TH OF JULY TISSUE PAPER GARLAND
Can you believe June is already coming to a close? It's time to start planning 4th of July festivities! It's funny, I've never been a fan of watching the fireworks. In Texas it was always a miserable experience with extreme heat, bug bites, and insane traffic. One...
OUR ONE YEAR HOME UPDATE
I can't believe it's already been an entire year! The time has really flown by, we've accomplished a lot but we still have quite a way to go! We did take some time off in the fall and winter but now we're back at it in full force. We spend most evenings and...
MAKE GORGEOUS, INEXPENSIVE NAPKIN RINGS FROM TWINE & GLUE
I love a beautifully set table, and nothing brings a table together like gorgeous napkin rings! These napkin rings look like they were store bought, yet I made them out of items I had at home at very little cost. Several months ago I had a light bulb moment and...
OUR MASTER BEDROOM UPDATE
Last October our space-efficient master bedroom was the first remodeled room in our new house to make the blog. Overall I was thrilled with the result and how we maximized space, but deep down I knew the room needed more. At the time we were sleeping with our...
