Cottage Style Spring Decorating Ideas

Happy Monday, friend! 😀 I thought I’d share some Spring decorating inspiration here today. Ya know, before it’s Summertime- ha! 😀 First up, a peek at our dining room…   I don’t keep the table this decked out like that all the time, but it was fun to spruce it up for Easter and to […]

Christmas Decorating In The Living Room (Little By Little!)

Happy Monday, y’all! I’m sharing some preview pics today because I’m not *quite* finished decorating for Christmas yet, and there’s no way they’d all fit in one post anyway- ha! 😀 I decided to go cozy/wintry/woodsy this year and this snuggly pom-pom fringed blanket from HomeGoods was my jumping off point: And when I saw […]

Simple, Farmhouse Style Shelves For Our Built-In Cabinetry

Simple, Farmhouse Style Shelves For Our Built-In Cabinetry

Steevenson’s toys were *just* the motivation I needed to fiiiinally get some shelves inside our built-in cabinetry in the living room.  It was a super simple project. First, we used some left over wood to make cleats: Then, we used some inexpensive plywood as the shelves. We tacked 1x2s to the front of each one […]

Lettered Cottage Living Room

Hello! Last week, we talked about some things that happened in 2016 that we wish we could’ve been better prepared for today. I mentioned that one of the things I wish I had gotten a jump on was really giving our house one good cleaning before Steevenson came home in August. I didn’t realize how much […]

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 […]

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. […]

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 […]

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 […]
