Thank goodness there are smaller projects like these in the mix, keeping the cross-off factor high while delivering that luscious feeling of accomplishment.” -Carmella Rayone In case you missed the update I posted late on Friday, I wanted to re-share our HUGE adoption news: IT’S […]
Reclaimed Wood Fireplace and Built-Ins (Stikwood)
The Stikwood has been stuck, y’all! What is Stikwood? It’s the world’s first peel-and-stick reclaimed and sustainable wood planking. Here’s a video that shows how easy it is to work with: We didn’t stick ours to a wall though. We used it to give our new cabinet and fireplace some character: We only needed a […]
Farmhouse Built-ins (And The Difference Between Shiplap and Tongue-And-Groove Planks)
Hi! Did you have a nice weekend? 😀 Our adoption caseworker, Meredith, emailed on Friday and said that we are only lacking one more signature on the paperwork that will legally make Sweet P our son, so we are excited to see what this month *hopefully* brings! Can’t help think about 2-26. (Read these posts if you’d […]
Farmhouse Fireplace and Built-Ins
Hi! Did you have a nice week? 😀 It’s been raining a LOT here lately, so our in-laws barn project keeps getting put on hold. Maybe next week we’ll have enough sunny days to get started? As for indoor projects, we’ve been working (little by little) on one of the (two) built-in units in our […]
The Perfect Paint Color For Our Farmhouse Fireplace
“Design is a never-ending journey of discovery — for which it helps to pack a healthy sense of humor.” -David Carson Ain’t that the truth? 😀 So, a few weeks ago I told you my gut had been saying “paint the fireplace white” from the time the Blue Yonder went up way back in September. […]
Farmhouse Fireplace Makeover
Happy New Year!! I’m ready to tackle some more home projects this month, and I’ve got a fireplace paint color question for you today. Right now, the backdrop of ours is a custom-mixed color I call “Blue Yonder“… (PS- the church window is a dark, natural wood on the flip side) But here’s the thing: we […]

“Life is a blank canvas, and you need to throw all the paint on it you can.” -Danny Kaye Happy Monday, y’all! Did you have a nice weekend? The weather was pretty close to perfect on Saturday here in Alabama. What a treat this extended summer has been. 80 degrees in November! SO wild! My brother […]
Living Room Plans
“Its always difficult to keep Fridays confined within themselves..they tend to spill over.” -Kai Sinclair Happy Fri-Sat-Sun, y’all!

Okay, y’all. I’m vlogging again today. 🙂 It was just too much fun chatting with/hearing from you about the living room on Monday, and I have some new things to show you in there today! Now, here’s what else you need to know: 1. Another reason I don’t want ceiling-height cabinetry on the sides of […]
A Look At Our Living Room
Hi! Did you have a nice weekend? Ours was pretty quiet…well, except during that quadruple overtime at the end of the Auburn/Arkansas game. There was lots of noise around here then. 😜 …and speaking of our living room: Can I run a few things by you from there today? I made a little video because I felt like it would […]

Gallery Wall Lighting – Kira Wall Sconces
“I’m interested in having fun with ideas, throwing them up in the air like confetti and then running under them.” ―Ray Bradbury I’ve really been having fun pulling together pieces for the gallery wall side of the living room.

One of the weeks we’ve been looking forward to for two […]
Affordable C-Tables
“I like to sit at airports. I like to see people reunited. I like to see people run to each other, I like the kissing and the crying. I like the impatience, the stories that the mouth can’t tell fast enough, the eyes that can’t take in all the change. I like the hugging, the […]
