It takes hands to build a house, but only hearts can build a home
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 […]
Happy Very Belated Chinese New Year! My LOML works for a company from China so the week before last was a big holiday for them. SCORE!!! He took off last Friday and Monday so we had four days to rip up carpeting and lay down beautiful wood floors (or so we thought!). DAY #1 The […]
I can finally show y’all the board & batten hallway all finished. Oh wait! Not “ALL” finished. Just the board & batten. Click the link to read how we hung it. Here you go…. You can see my large mirror on the cheap. Click on the link to read how I made it. Underneath the […]
I found a great idea on Pinterest… AGAIN! Source We’re slowly finishing up on the upstairs hallway. You can see all the inspiration here. We’ve completed hanging the board & batten this weekend. We have filled in all the nail holes, sanded and also added some extra pieces that we had left in the foyer […]
How was your 4th of July? The LOML had a four day weekend and all but one of the kids was home for the summer so we had lots of family time planned. Barbecuing baby back ribs, shrimp and pineapple kabobs, corn on the cob, pasta salad, fruit salad. Along with all the fun, we got a […]
The second bathroom redo (or what we lovingly call the “Fishy Bathroom”) is finally complete. With summer vacation, ultimate frisbee games, family time, and life in general, this project has taken way longer than I wanted. This is what we started with. Now you know why we call it the “Fishy Bathroom”. As our kids grow older, […]
If you read my last post about my two legged table here, you learned about our plan and inspiration for the half table going into our laundry room for a little extra workspace. We got a lot of work done on it this past weekend. Way more work than we wanted or planned on. Awhile […]
We made a trip to our friendly neighborhood Lowe's Home Improvement store recently. We bought four 12 ft long 1-5/8"x9/16" pieces of crown molding. For the board and batten we bought four sheets of 4×8 1/4" thick plywood and four dowels to finish the topper. I also bought four nickel coated hat hooks that I will put on the board […]
HAPPY (ALMOST) NEW YEAR!!!!! I hope your 2013 was full of blessings! I can't believe another year is almost gone. Time really does fly when you're getting old having fun!! We've been busy in our family room this year. I just couldn't seem to get out of that room. […]
I'm so excited to reveal two make-overs today. The first one is my new blog design. It was done by Creative Kristi Designs. I met Kristi at The Haven Conference, a blogging conference held in Atlanta, last year. I went to her class and was blown away by her knowledge of all things design. My head […]
