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 […]

Yesterday I shared the before shots of a project I recently got finished photos of and today I’ll be sharing the design plan. To recap my clients had two teenage daughters and they wanted to re-do the basement den so that it would be a hangout of sorts for their girls and their friends. They […]

The Design Plan: Client Den

I was recently able to take some after shots of a project I finished last year. Sadly I had to run over to the clients house to get photo’s taken, because they are moving and the room was being disassembled that week! So sad! Clients often times become like family and I have become very […]

The Before: Client Den

This weekend was a big weekend for us! We decided it was time that Hudson went to his first movie. We had no idea how the activity was going to go and if we were going to make it through the entire movie, but we wanted to try it. Hudson recently got into watching Rio […]

Friday Finds…

Maybe it’s being surrounded by all men in my house, but lately I’ve been finding myself drawn to all things girly. I must admit I tend to have more pink in my house than a typical man would enjoy, but luckily Jon doesn’t mind. Of course that now has my wheels turning into how I […]

Color Combo: Glitter & Magenta

I don’t know about you, but I will never be one of those girls that can leave the house without her face on. Jon always tells me I look best that way, but he is my husband so he has to say such things. For me walking out the door with a little under eye […]

Perhaps it’s upcoming Cinco de Mayo that is already on my mind or my love of Mexican food, but when I stumbled upon this beautiful tablescape from a Santa Barbara Mexican themed wedding that was featured on 100 Layer Cake I was smitten. How pretty are the cacti they used as their flower arrangements and […]

We had never stained a deck before, but it was surprisingly easy. Here are the easy steps for getting a deck stained in a weekend. BEFORE: STEP 1: […]

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.
