THE LATEST AND GREATEST
Fall Home Tour (Part Two)
Do you decorate for fall? Do you perfectly place pumpkins all over your house and spend hours decorating for it? I don’t. The kids and I collected some acorns and I put a couple pumpkins around, I’m guessing that’s the way many of you are as well. I always look at my seasonal tours more as a […]
Fall Home Tour {Part One}
In our last home no less than seven neighbors could see directly into our last home from all angles. One of the things that we loved about this home when we bought it was the amazing amount of privacy we have, especially in our backyard. There are trees and bushes everywhere. But that means green everywhere […]
Visualize with Me: Long Skinny Kitchen Inspiration
I’m thinking about our kitchen reno more than I should… especially because we haven’t set a timeline for it yet. We’ve decided to move the kitchen into the addition, or the long awkward space, in the back of the house to more efficently use the space. I think one of the reasons why the home […]
Hale Navy for the Win
It’s Hale Navy for the win! We are making great progress and I promised you an update even though the project isn’t complete yet. Drew woke up in the middle of my painting so you can imagine, right? The full reveal will have to wait until I complete the walls. We’ve rescued some pretty awful […]
FREE New England Fall Watercolor
Quintessential New England Fall. This photo from last year was taken near our last house and it inspired this post. Here’s what I came up with based on that beautiful photo: But it’s hard to believe I’m talking about fall when we just went to the beach yesterday, ate dinner on the porch and ended the […]
Rich & Fudgy Homemade Brownies
After reading the ingredients, specifically the list of preservatives, in boxed mix brownies I’ve been on the search to find the perfect homemade recipe. It’s been hard because very few things compare to how good Betty Crocker’s box mix is… but this recipe does. I’ve tweaked it very slightly from Brooke’s Best Bombshell Brownies, a dynamite […]
Removing Wallpaper: My Cardio
Three days after we got married we bought a house to flip in a town about 40 minutes from us. My job was removing the wallpaper in the bedrooms and repairing the walls (and by that, I mean the horsehair plaster under four layers of wallpaper). That job scarred me toward any other wallpaper removal. […]
In Progress: Our Home Office
Turning the former dining room into the current office was a great decision for our family. The motivation behind it was to have a designated space for our real estate business and have a set spot to bring clients to that had doors that could close for kid-free conversations. We at the middle to end of […]
Dining Room Progress
One of my favorite decisions with this house was switching the dining room into the formal living room. I adore the space we have in this room. Right now you are just seeing it with the furniture from our last home in it so the furniture looks like it’s being swallowed by the size of […]
