So….We Bought a Camper (Now What?)

Sometime last year I asked Adam what he thought about us maybe buying a travel trailer. My family had one for a few years when I was growing up, and I thought our kids would get a kick out of having similar adventures.  Adam didn't jump at the idea... his family lived in one for a year (all seven of them) while building their house, and he doesn't quite have the warm fuzzies about campers that I do. So image my surprise when a few months ago he told me he thought we should get a camper. …

Mudroom Reveal – Where Form Meets Function

IT'S MUDROOM REVEAL DAY!! Let's just skip the forced introductory paragraph and get right to the good stuff. Here she is! I don't think I could love it more. It's so satisfying to have a blank space and a vision, and then watch that vision actually come to life! From start to finish the mudroom remodel (makeover/finish out/whatever you want to call it) took us almost exactly six months. That definitely isn't a short amount of time, but I think it's realistic for a DIY family …

Simple Farmhouse Window Trim

The mudroom is so incredibly close to being finished, and I can't wait to get the reveal post up on the blog (thinking it will be next week). It's been way too long since we've had a reveal post around here. In the meantime though, let's take a detour and talk about window trim. So all of the window and door frames were finished with drywall returns during the building process. Adam and I knew we wanted trim eventually, but figured we would do that later (plus they weren't going to make the …

All About Our Painted Lockers

Despite what you may have been thinking, we have not abandoned working on the mudroom. In fact, we now have lockers...painted lockers. Beautiful, functional painted lockers. I love them, and the room is so close to being finished I can taste it. We pretty much just have to build them in and add decor, and it this room will look just like the plan! So let's talk about these lockers. The original plan called for six 78 x 15 single tier lockers, and I wanted to buy used ones to …

My Leather Sectional from Article (aka, the keeper)

Disclaimer - I received 50% off my purchase from Article in exchange for writing a review. And I'm sure you get tired of hearing this, but all opinions are really, genuinely 100% my own. CLICK HERE to read the first part of my Article furniture review. Alright, so in the last post I left you hanging when I decided to return the Mello leather sectional from Article. The Mello was comfortable and well made, but the shape and style didn't feel right in my house. Even though I was dreading the …

My New Article Leather Sectional (and why I returned it)

I've always owned ugly couches. My first couch as a married woman was a floral beauty handed down from my parents, then shortly after I went out and bought a sweet, tan, bulky microfiber set. Adam and I  were on a tight budget, and there were only a few options in our little military town in Upstate New York. Shopping online wasn't an option....it was 2005 and we didn't even own a computer (can you imagine?!). I feel like nearly everyone has owned a sofa set like this, it's like a rite of …

Living Room Updates and Source List

Our living room isn't one of those rooms that is going to have a clear-cut start and end date. It's a room that will simply evolve over time, and one day we will look around and realize it is finished. That day definitely isn't today, but there have been quite a few living room updates happening recently! The last time I showed y'all the living room was about six months ago (Setember 2017), when it looked like this... And here is now, a little more evolved and a little less ugly …

Herringbone Brick Paver Floor

Y'all. The brick paver floor is finished and it turned out AMAZING. It is exactly what I wanted, which is impressive considering my list demands was pretty specific. I've seen plenty of brick floors that aren't my favorite, so I was only interested in installing a brick paver floor if three things were involved....lots of earthy color variation, light colored grout, and a herringbone pattern. Oh, and not shiny. So four things. Knowing exactly what you want is a good thing, …

Rustic Wooden Blanket Ladder (for free!)

There is this empty wall in our living room that has been begging me to put something on it, something large but with a slim profile.  A framed picture would be too small, furniture would be too big, but a wooden blanket ladder....well that would be just right. So I decided to make one myself, and the best part is that is was an easy project that I did for free using branches scrounged up from the yard.   Materials needed: branches - two large ones, 3-4 smaller ones using …

Everything I’ve Learned About Painting Shiplap

I logged onto my website this morning to publish this post and saw that it has been a month since my last one. I would have sworn it was only a week or two....time is flying. Flying. Anyway, progress is still happening around here despite my blog neglect, and the shiplap in the laundry and mudroom is painted and officially checked off the list. So here it is! Before   and after! I love it, it's so fresh and clean and just a great starting point for the …
