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 […]

Some women feel naked when they leave their house without their earrings on, but for me it’s all about eye liner. I feel completely exposed without my armor and I just needed to share one of my favorite liners. Years ago I use to always use a gel pencil, but that would give me a […]

Sweethaus Cupcake Cafe

With a massive snow storm on the horizon it has been a bit nutty around town with supermarkets clearing out their shelves and everyone filling up at the gas stations. I tend not to freak out that much due to snow so our weekend was a bit normal. We started out our Saturday at soccer, […]

Scenes from my weekend…

I have had a bit of a crap week on the mommy front this week. Hudson has entered his 3’s with quite a bang. People have always talked about the terrible two’s but no one ever mentions the three’s. Oh boy. Now that he can talk more it’s a whole lot of sass and for […]

During my fireplace screen hunt I did come upon some pretty patterned options that I just needed to share. No.1: Geometric Fireplace Screen for $238 plus […]

Treat Yo Self: Stylish Fireplace Screens

Yesterday I revealed my new fireplace hearth.  My favorite part of the transformation has to be the orange grout! I toyed with the decision about whether or not to go bold with the grout and actually picked up a taupe option at first. Jon knew I kept thinking about the orange and he gave me […]

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.
