Moving day officially arrived last Friday. It feels like it took forever, but it finally happened, and it only took 1 semi-truck plus 1 large package truck and 8 burly men to get us out of one space and into another. Oy! It was a crazy hot day without air conditioning on the hottest day of the year (that's a whole nuther story)...but we[...]

Do you remember my seriously sad patio? Bare, cold, and blah about sums it up. If you've been watching my Instagram, then you've already seen sneak peeks and some smack-talking to my Design Off challenger Jojotastic (aka Joanna). She and I are in this knockdown drag-out fight...errr, ya no, it's really more like a friendly little be[...]
There are a lot of things I love about our new home, but it has a few nooks of sadness. One is the patio, and that's the one place during the summer months where we love to spend our time. There's nothing quite like kicking back in the evening, crickets chirping, fireflies lighting up the woods. All that was missing last summer was the p[...]
Times up! Sound the alarm, the One Room Challenge final reveal deadline bell is ringing. Hands up. Put the decor down. Well kinda. It's the night before this post goes live, and I'm typing as fast as my little fingers can hit keys. I take that back, it's after midnight. But for all intents and purposes, this room is dunzo! Like many o[...]
It's Week 5 of the One Room Challenge, and right now, I feel like my entire life revolves around this project. Nothing else matters. I'm okay with being seven blog posts behind and staying up until midnight. It's crunch time, and next week is the final reveal. If you're new here and wondering what on Earth is this One Room Challenge[...]
Patience is not a virtue of mine. Albeit convenient, online shopping lacks immediate gratification. And when you're in a time crunch like the One Room Challenge where you pick one room to transform from hot mess to hallelujah and only have 6 weeks to do so, well, waiting a week for deliveries was probably not my smartest move. I'm now th[...]
Confidence is building with the home office design project as I push through Week 3 of the One Room Challenge. In case you don't remember, last week, I was styling the window sill behind the vintage Chesterfield and finishing the build on my new workspace. A last-minute decision was made, throwing me off my game plan, and I chose not to[...]
Late last Spring I gave both my primary bedroom and guest room a major makeover. I was on design project overload, and oddly, it seemed like every other blogger on the planet was doing the same. What a strange coincidence. Everyone I knew was suddenly tearing their homes apart and documenting the process. Why are you guys stealing my thu[...]
It's been a little while since we've checked in on my Decorist makeover. No, no I didn't forget. Pinky swear. I've actually been working on it like a madwoman. The final board arrived in my inbox the day before I left for Germany. Since I was out of the country for 2 weeks, I couldn't order anything until after I returned. Bob, my neighb[...]
