HOW-TO-MAKE-AN-EASY-DIY-OUTDOOR-MOVIE-SCREEN-WITH-STAND

Fall is the perfect season to host an outdoor movie night in your backyard! It’s that time of year when outdoor furniture is still outside and it gets dark earlier than the summer which means your little kiddos can enjoy the movie night as well. It’s so nice to transform your backyard with cozy blankets, […]

round up of budget friendly bar carts

Can you believe it’s already November? Before we know it Thanks No. 1 Modern bar cart with patterned sides that looks great as is, but would also look amazing painted a pop of color! Plus it’s only $157. No. 2 This lucite bar cart is a personal favorite of mine. Look at those chic lines! […]

For the longest time our backyard was mainly just grass and a little small area where we laid down some pavers so that we could set out a little plastic table/chairs during the summer. Not exactly ideal for entertaining. For the past couple of years we have wanted to build a deck and enjoy the […]

Here is what caught my eye this week… -How did I not know about these elephant cookies until now! I would have loved them for Hudson’s baby shower. I will need to pick them up for Asher’s 1st birthday! -Wish I could get married again (to the same man of course) and use these invites! […]

I must admit that I’m not one for activewear, because let’s be honest I don’t really work out. I have always wanted to be one of those people that loves to run or hit their favorite class at the gym, but the closest I get to that is taken the occasional yoga class. Due to […]

An English rolled arm sofa is a designer favorite for many. The price tag though is not. If budget was no object I would pick one up from George Smith, but sadly I live in the real world where I need to pay attend to price tags. In the last couple of years a couple […]

Budget Find: English Rolled Arm Sofa

We got a bit of an early start on Halloween this weekend when we attended and volunteered at Hudson’s school for their annual Halloween party! Hudson doesn’t love the idea of costumes so we needed to get a bit creative to attend the party. To keep things simple yet festive we all dressed up in […]

Scenes from my weekend…

This week I …. -Found the most complimentary doormat that also quotes lines from Mean Girls. -Reminded myself that you must not judge a house by it’s outside look. While we have been house hunting I’ve been itching to find something with character and a lot of the houses are all pretty blah from the […]

Treat Yo Self: Spa Week!

Years ago (back in 2009) while my little sister, Daniela was away on a business trip I took the opportunity to re-do her bedroom at my parents house from this: {Don’t you love the 80’s furniture in all it’s glory! } With $500 I updated the room and made it more fitting for her. You […]

Bedroom Re-vamp: The Now

ON THE BLOG

My living room is one of the rooms that evolved drastically from when we first moved one. Originally I painted the walls chocolate brown and did accents of white, blue and orange. That lasted maybe 2 years.

Our dining room sat empty for months. Okay maybe it was empty for just a handful of weeks and then we couldn’t take it anymore and put in a folding table and plastic outdoor chairs, but in my mind that was still empty.

On the main floor of our house we have a Florida room. Being that it’s a Florida room it is a considered a 3 season room, because there is no heat in the room. The previous owners used it as an indoor patio with outdoor furniture and it looked like this when we moved in.
