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 …

Design Plans for our Farmhouse Laundry Room

I was almost finished writing my post about the painted shiplap in the laundry and mudroom when I realized I've never actually shared my plans for the laundry room. So let's back up and dive into that before forging ahead with the makeover. As a reminder, here is the floorplan for the laundry room ... About two years ago (when we were starting to design and build cabinets) Adam sketched out the plan for the laundry room. I can't find the paper anymore, but thankfully I posted it on …

Shiplap, Trim, and Brick Flooring Samples

Progress on the mudroom and laundry room is well underway! The shiplap and trim are finished and I'm loving the way the room is headed. As far a planking a wall goes, this isn't our first go around. Adam and I added the same wall treatment to the kitchen and dining room back at the previous house, way back when before all planking was dubbed "shiplap". For that room we did a very budget friendly faux version out of strips of cheap plywood. As you can see the results were …

Official Plans for the Mudroom

The first project of 2018 is going to be the mudroom, and I don't think I could be more excited about it. I'm ready. I'm ready for some storage and organization, ready for something new and pretty, and mostly just ready to have another finished room in the house. As a reminder, here is what our mudroom looks like at this exact moment. At first the plan was to custom build something like the below photos - six wooden lockers, built to take up the entire wall. They would have individual …

2018 Home Goals

I've never been big on setting New Year's resolutions. I don't like making commitments if I am not 100% certain I can stick to them, and New Years resolutions have like a 99% failure rate. Plus I figure that if you need to make a change in your life you should just do it, no need to wait until the new year. But 2017 felt particularly crazy, mostly because I'm the opposite of type A, lack a routine, and have four kids. The combo of those things led to an uphill battle all year, always REacting to …
