Happy Monday, friends! Did you have a great weekend? Ours was nice and low key. My favorite kind. 🙂 September has been pretty sweet across the board, actually. It seems like Steevenson is finally starting to feel comfortable with the “Monday-Friday = school, and Sunday = church at his school” routine. (Our new church operates out […]

Happy Friday, friends! I thought I’d share a couple of photos of the progress we’ve made with the beadboard planks in our master bedroom. It’s primed (with Kilz) and painted with 3 coats of Simply White by Benjamin Moore: Obviously, we still have lots more planks to attach to the wall to finish out the […]

Remember that wall in our bedroom that I was talking about last week? Well, here it is: The roof of the Bungalow Barn (on the other side of that wall) cuts right through the center of each of those windows, so we had to board them up and we’re looking forward to *finally* finishing it […]

Happy Friday! On Monday, I showed you some photos of the desk area we’re working on in our master bedroom- but I forgot to tell you the details on the desk! It’s five separate piece (2 desktops and 3 base units) and they came from Ikea. The base units are called ALEX, and they were […]

Hi! Did you have a nice weekend? I hope so! I thought I’d show you the desk area we’ve been piecing together in our master bedroom today. (Note: I know you’re not supposed to have computers in your bedroom, but we live in a 2-bedroom house, and we’ve decided this is the best spot for them to […]

Y’all. This could *literally* be the week that we get the email that says our I-600 is approved and that Three Angels can schedule Sonny’s final appointments so that we can book our plane tickets!! AAAHHH! Needless to say, I’ll probably be hitting the “refresh” button on my inbox quite a bit this week. 😉 A […]

So? Did you catch the sneak peek of our faux wood beams in my vlog on Friday? 😀 They came from AZ Faux Wood Beams and we. are. lovin’ ’em! Excuse the missing curtain in this next shot. The rod went up a few days ago and I just haven’t gotten around to hanging the curtains up: […]

So, remember when I told you I wanted to do something different on the lower half of the windows in our master bedroom? Well, I’m finally ready to share what we did. Shutters! Here’s a link back to my post about the window shades if you missed it and would like to check it out: My […]

Remember the photo I’m using as inspiration for our master bedroom makeover? Well, we found ourselves a black dresser last week! It came from Eastbrook Flea Market and it’s the perfect size for the wall between the windows on my side of the bed. (Still have to hang the curtains on the window to the left of […]

We added another layer to our bedroom this weekend. Curtains! We found them for $19.99/pair at Ikea. They’re called “Lenda” and they come in a bunch of different colors. The rings also came from Ikea ($5/ten), and the rods came from Wal-mart ($12.97/each). …and while we’re zoomed in, I wanted to show you three books […]

Okay, so remember that inspiration chandelier I put in my inspiration photo-drawing? I looked at the specs and, turns out, it measures 42 inches wide. 🙁 I loooooved the combination of the dark weathered zinc and weathered oak wood parts and how short it was (perfect for over a bed!), but based on the (wide) […]

Happy Friday! I thought I’d share a post about our new window shades today. I just love ’em! They’re Good Housekeeping Woven Wood Shades from SelectBlinds.com and the style I chose is Jute Wheat. Here’s a short video about them for those who can watch: And for those who can’t/don’t want to- in a nutshell, I shared […]

After a couple of weeks of moving furniture out, painting, installing board & batten, and moving furniture back in, we’re finally back in our bedroom. Ahhhhh! Kevin and I slept on the couches in our living room while we worked upstairs, so MAN does it feel good to snuggle with my sweetie have our bed […]
