It takes hands to build a house, but only hearts can build a home
I’m lovin’ the cool brisk air and the pretty leaves fallin’ here in North Carolina! Autumn is one of my favorite seasons….it’s a competition between it and spring. One is like a cleansing ~ everything is going to sleep for the winter and the other is the promise of a fresh new beginning. Here’s a […]
I love my master bedroom. I love climbing into our bed, flipping on the television to watch “Friends”, while the LOML falls fast asleep. Or cuddling with the kids on a cold night, watching one of their favorite movies, nibbling on some popcorn. My master bedroom is huge! Most people would like to have my […]
I bought this beautiful entertainment center/armoire at the Habitat for Humanity ReStore and I just love the character. Very simple lines, and perfect for storing all my costume jewelry. AND IT WAS A STEAL!!! The tag read $45, but it was 60% off. I paid $18 for this beautiful piece of furniture. You just can’t […]
The beautiful classic fireplace is finally done!!!! When I first started planning my master bedroom renovation, one of the things I wanted most was a beautiful faux fireplace as one of the focal points of the room. When I decided to move my bed to another wall, I found the perfect home for the new […]
I love books!! I have wonderful memories of going to the library as a family and I would run up the stairs to the children’s section and feel like I was in the middle of heaven. I hope we’ve put that same love of books into our children’s hearts. In our house there is an […]
I haven’t worked on the outside of our house since we built the wood pallet fence around our ugly air conditioning unit a few years ago. We’ve been in our house about 17 years and I really wanted to change the color scheme up a bit. After the HOA okayed my plans I got to […]
Do you remember when I showed you Daughter #2s new peacock bedroom? It’s still one of my favorite rooms in our house? It is so HER! I can’t believe it’s been five years!!!! She used to share a room with her big sister when we brought the girls home from Kazakhstan when Daughter #2 was […]
Hey Everybody! How’s everyone’s week going? The LOML is in China this week and I’m not used to it. He travels about once every decade. While he’s gone, I’m getting some stuff done. I’m trying to take advantage of the warm weather (minus the pollen…it’s killing me!) so I got outside and did some […]
I’m so excited to show y’all our new cozy reading nook in our master bedroom! But before I do, a little recap of how we got here. We had a small alcove in our bedroom that housed the LOMLs computer desk. I’ve wanted to revamp our master bedroom for awhile and when I saw this […]
Our master bedroom is huge!! Now, I know most of you wouldn’t complain about this problem. Let me explain why I’m whining a little bit about it. We’ve lived in our house for 16 years and as an amateur decorator/DIYer/design blogger, this room has always stumped me. It has the usual bed, nightstands, entertainment center, […]
