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 […]

As you now know we finally bought a new house. It was in rough shape and what started out as a demo to remove the walls and put up new sheetrock has turned into so much more! Once we finished the demo and removed the walls, insulation and Limonium flooring we realized so much more […]

It’s reveal day! I have never been so happy to type those words! Like any renovation project there were ups and downs, but add in a tight deadline for a blog series reveal and a super inquisitive Mom that likes to project manage and you have a whole other level of stress because you don’t […]

Before I was a parent I was never a fan of matching outfits in a family. I swore I would never put the boys in matching outfits and then I did it once and it was adorable and loved doing it! It’s a little bit harder now because Hudson is a bigger department, but I’m […]

It’s a Colorful Life: Spring 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.
