State of the House, 2017 – Bedrooms, Bathrooms and Loft
Alright, time for the final part of the 2017 house tour! I’ve already posted about the exterior, and the main living areas, so keep reading to see the bedrooms, bathrooms and the loft.
Let’s start with the loft...
There it is, truth...I bet you weren’t expecting to see a giant mess right off the bat were you?
The loft is the only thing upstairs (besides the attic) and it serves as the kids playroom. It’s perfect, because every single toy the kids own is up there and I can’t see any …

Master Bedroom Progress and the Nicest Draperies I’ve Ever Owned
Progress has been happening in the master bedroom! We haven’t done any big projects (there still isn't a ceiling or a floor) it’s mostly just been me shopping and dreaming, and its been fun. Last month I posted the plans for the room and showed you these before pictures -
This is the design mock-up I came up with (it’s not great, but you get the picture) -
And here are some of the updates I made -
There is still plenty to do, but it is certainly a huge improvement. The …

Plans for the Master Bedroom
In the last house I never finished our master bedroom, the entire time we lived there it was an unfinished catch-all for everything in the house that didn't have a place. We basically slept in a storage unit. Adam and I would crawl into bed night after a long day, and instead of feeling relaxed we would just look around and think “Ugh...there is so much stuff we didn't get done today” (even if we had each rocked the socks off our to-do list).
I know I'm not alone in this. I know the master …

Interior Limestone
When designing and planning this house Adam and I knew we wanted a lot of rustic features inside our home. Metal ceilings, antique beams, shiplap siding, brick flooring, rock walls, and rustic wood ceilings and floors were all things we wanted to incorporate in one way or another. We particularity wanted an entire rock wall on one of the walls in the main living space. After finalizing our blueprints we were like “We’re going to put the rock wall HERE. Okay, no... here? Well, that won’t …

10 Ways to Decorate Above your Bed
Lately I've been spending time mindlessly scrolling through pinterest and Houzz (what else can you really do when breastfeeding at 3am?), gathering ideas for something to hang above the bed in our master bedroom. There are lots of great options out there, so I thought I'd put together a post showcasing a few of them.
1. Art
This one is pretty obvious, and there are so many different ways to display above your bed. You can do anything from a single big piece to an entire …

Planked Walls and Upholstered Headboards (master bedroom progress)
Well, the master bedroom is slowly coming along, looking better and better each month! I'm trying to work on it a little at a time and not stress, since I realize we may never fully finish it before we sell our house. I'm okay with that, and in the meantime I'm really enjoying having a master bedroom that doesn't make me cringe.
Anyway, this months challenge for my BHG sponsored post was "furniture". So a few weeks ago I was sitting in bed, perusing walmart.com, looking through all the BHG …

“This is my beloved and this is my friend” Pallet Sign
Today I have a simple tutorial for y'all, the pallet sign that was in my master bedroom makeover last week.
First thing you will need is a pallet, obviously. I know pallet projects have been all the rage lately, but I haven't ever really used them. Then one day Adam came across a stack of them behind his work and came home with these three.
He called them "the most gorgeous pallets I've ever seen", since they were made from wood like red oak and pecan (or some equally nice …

Quick and Easy Master Bedroom Makeover
Many of you know that I'm part of the Better Homes and Gardens Live Better Network, and every other month I am challenged to use BHG products in a different way. Well this last month has been pretty busy for us, and the last thing on my mind was blog deadlines. So a few weeks ago (when I was about a week overdue with baby #3) I finally remembered to look up the next challenge theme and deadline. The theme? Bedroom makeover, due in less than a month. Not gonna lie, I kinda had an "oh crap" moment …

Bed Swapping, Hopping, and General Chaos and Destruction
It all started when we went on a cruise last October.
Adam and I have always slept on a queen mattress, I've never felt like we needed anything else. I've always thought a bigger mattresses was a waste of space, or for couples that don't like each other as much as Adam and I do. We often fall asleep cuddled up, and more room would just be out there, empty. But lets face the facts here... Adam snores. He snores like a freight train in a tornado during a thunderstorm. He also does this thing that …

DIY Chalk Paint Fail & The Bed That Almost Killed Me
So unless you've been living under a rock, you know that chalk paint is all the rage here in crafty blogland. As a member of crafty blogland, I felt as if I was my duty to give chalk paint a whirl. Annie Sloan makes the stuff everyone raves about, so I went online to order some....that's when I saw that it is crazy expensive. Like over $40 a quart expensive. Now I might have ponied up and paid it if I wasn't going to catch a ton of flack about it from the hubs, who already thinks my paint …
