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, […]

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 […]

ORC: Guest Room Week 3

If you ask Jon he will tell you that all pillows should cost around $5, but around these parts I tend to spend way more for pillows. This leads me to have minor heart attacks when Hudson is in the living room and decides to have a pillow fight, which is pretty much a daily […]

Decorative Pillow Covers for less than $5!!!

Last week I shared a studio apartment I designed on The Everygirl. One of the funniest things to me was when someone commented wanting to know where the sofa was from, because we all honestly hated it!

Taking your sofa from blah to wow!

ORC: Guest Room Week 2

get inspired with our own home tour

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.
