Quick…name that movie!? For all of you who said “Sweet Home Alabama” you win the prize. One of my favorite light, love story movies. And I love the line “So I can kiss you anytime I want.” While we were building our master bedroom reading nook, I knew I wanted a big farmhouse sign hanging […]

A NEW OLD ARMOIRE ~ transformed into a jewelry storage unit
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 […]
A NEW OLD FARMHOUSE TABLE
When Son #1 moved into his own place, we were grateful that he took some of our extra furniture that we have stored in our garage. We are proud to say we can almost park a car in there….NOT! One piece of furniture that he took was an old coffee table that we bought on […]
THE BEAUTIFUL CLASSIC FIREPLACE~ attaching to the wall and the reveal!
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 […]
“SPRING”ING THE EXTERIOR OF THE HOUSE
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 […]
A BEAUTIFUL NEW DESK FROM THE RUBBLE
Do you remember when I told you about the LOMLs desk that we were going to move into Son #4’s bedroom when we were building the cozy reading nook? How it fell apart in our hands as we were transporting it. We didn’t make it ten steps before all the joints broke apart! We ended […]
SAYING GOODBYE TO THE TREE MURAL!
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 […]
THE READING NOOK ~ The final reveal!!
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 […]
THE READING NOOK ~ Wood plank wall
The cozy reading nook in our master bedroom is coming along so nicely. I’m so proud of all the planning and work that we’ve put into this small but fun space. When we started this blog, we were definitely what you would call “novices”. We knew nothing about building bookcases, laying wood floors, pulling up […]
THE READING NOOK ~ The bookcases
I’m so excited to be working on our cozy reading nook in our master bedroom. So far, we’ve built the bench. You can read all about it here. I found the black cubicle at IKEA in the damaged section in the front of the store. Fifteen dollars is quite a deal!! Next we built two […]
