Kitchen Plans and a Design Board

June 19, 2019

Well, I think I’ve finally recovered from the One Room Challenge “burn-out” I experienced from such an intensive six-week journey, haha. Which is not to say that I wouldn’t do it all over again, the laundry room we have as a result was completely 100% worth it, and I certainly plan on participating again in the fall. But it did require a little break to recover. So while…

One Room Challenge Week 5 – ACCCKKK!!!

May 6, 2019

So this is about the time that I start freaking out. It is the very last week of the One Room Challenge, and I had been feeling fairly in control until about three days ago, when I realized the “few little things” I had left were clearly going to take much longer than I expected. Of course, I should have expected this, otherwise, why did I put them…

One Room Challenge Week 3 – Hardware and Wallpaper

April 18, 2019

We’ve done it!! Half way point, woo-hoo!!!!! We had some weather delays early on in this week — unusual for an indoor challenge, I realize — but basically there were several things that needed to be done which required above-freezing temps and no snow on the ground (although the former was actually a requirement, and the latter was just a personal preference;). First, the wallpaper primer needed to…

Easter Gifts for the Littles

April 15, 2019

I can hardly believe that Easter is this weekend already?!? I feel like this year is flying by even more than usual. And while I *somewhat* had my act together this year and have some of these items purchased in advance, one thing I made sure to order super early are the Little Unicorn security blankets. Our kids are almost four- and six-years-old this Easter, and have been…

One Room Challenge Week 1 – Laundry Room Plans

April 4, 2019

I’m so excited to finally be participating in a One Room Challenge!!!! I’ve followed along for many years, excited week-to-week to see the progress of the featured designers, along with any of the guest participants that had caught my eye. And now, I’m one of those guest participants!! Truth be told, this challenge is serving as the motivation not only for me to complete our dark and dingy…

Fashion Finds – Spring Edition

March 29, 2019

With the sun shining more and more these days, I can’t help think about all the warm weather we are going to have in late Spring and early Summer (it takes that long to really warm up around here;) and how we’ll soon get to ditch the cozy sweaters and boots. So with all of the beautiful Spring colors that are arriving at the shops these days, they…

Home Office Design Board

March 21, 2019

Since starting the blog, I have been spending a good portion of the time while the kids are school (and some evenings, I’m quite the novice so everything takes twice as long), working on the computer at our kitchen counter. Which would work fine in most situations, but our kitchen was designed by people who fancied themselves to be above-average height, and custom-built the cabinets to be 2…
