A recap of our first year in the House house… To all my mamma readers out there, I truly hope you had great Mother’s Days! Mine was great. I got some nice gifts from my husband and kids, including a coupon book from my 10 year old for free hugs and other cute things, and my husband made breakfast (which hardly EVER happens). My mother lives close by and my…
Check out what our neighbors did with another neighbors old playhouse they were giving away. Y’all know I love a good makeover and upcycling story as I’ve done of lot of makoever-ing and upcycling myself. As much as I’d love to be able to throw away all my old furniture and get all new stuff, it isn’t happening at the House house, at least not right now. So since we’ve moved…
Kitchen Makeover…. My friend (Jamie) redesigned her kitchen and it is so gorgeous I just had to share it with y’all. Jamie and her family live in my neighborhood and bought their house several years ago. As I’ve mentioned before, most of the homes in this neighborhood were built in the 80’s and many have not been updated ever, or for a very long time. Jamie is in the design business…

This post contains some affiliate links for your convenience (which means if you make a purchase after clicking a link I will earn a small commission which helps keep my blog up and running but it won’t…
What to do with leftover pallets… A while back I wrote a post about all the cool projects friends made with the leftover pallets from our renovation. We saved some for ourselves too, and went back and forth with different ideas on what to do with them. Here is what we finally used them for. We have a very large backyard and we love it. Last summer we put pavers down…
Our Living Room…Before and After… The Before… I decided to show you the entire living room hoping that you’d get a better idea of what our main living area looks like, and just how much it has changed since we bought this house. This is where we spend most of our time. You may remember my kitchen reveal, my dining table, bar area, and my aquarium post where you got a…
The Before… A while back I showed you our guest bedroom, and today I am going to show you the guest bathroom. When we purchased this house, the bathroom (well, the whole house really) was very outdated, had laminate floors, bad lighting, fake wood cabinets, and old school fluorescent enclosed lights, ya know, the whole nine yards. However, it was a decent size. Perfect for a guest bath. This bathroom has a bedroom…
