Why am I still surprised what paint can do to a space?? Our back door entry from our garage just didn't feel finished. One side has our green lockers and the opposite side looked like I forgot about it. I wanted to give the feeling of a mudroom, key word being "room". I had been wanting to add shiplap and paint for a while now and we finally did it! Back Door Sources- ... Read More
Home Office Makeover- Round Table as Desk
We are back at my best friend, Laila's house! She recently moved into a new house with her family, about 6 months ago. The home was built in 1990, it was ready for a fresh coat of paint and to have the carpet replaced. Her husband installed new LVP floors, which helped transform the bedroom into a blank slate for an office. While Laila and I were on one of our vintage shopping trips, I spotted a round dining table and suggested it for an office table instead of the small desk she had. She was onboard! She also let me jump in and help her makeover her office and share it with you! Thank you ... Read More
Fall Front Porch with Halloween Vibes
A new season means it's time to refresh the porch!I love the whole "out with the old and in with the new" clean feeling. So many new options of adding fall greens and flowers and pops of colorful pumpkins. This year I stuck to cream and white pumpkins and black accents, with a pop of purple (obviously). I was inspired by a vintage black owl I found thrifting. Just takes one starting off piece to be inspired and get you excited to start a project! Fall Front Porch- ... Read More
Simple Ways to Add Fall Decor- Our Fall Family Room
I have something to tell you. I hung bats in my entry, and I took them down the next day. Maybe it's just me, but typical seasonal decor like that overwhelms me. Instead, I hung them on my exterior door, they don't bother me outside with my fall porch! My approach for interior seasonal decor is to keep it simple. Often I will move something and replace it with something I already have for the season. And you can really call anything seasonal decor based on a color or feeling you want to create in your home for the season. I just swap things around my home. Or, I like to call it "shop my home". ... Read More

Exterior Before and After- Our Cedar Shake Roof- Utah Ranch Home
Finally sharing the after of our exterior! To catch you up, we bought this ranch style home back in November of 2020, it took about a year to remodel it. When we bought it I knew right away there were a few things we we wanted to do to give the exterior some curb appeal. Paint the exterior black, look into options for the rock and possibly add faux dormers. We did paint the exterior black, but left the rock as-is and we decided to add a second floor for the girls bedrooms instead of dormers. Plus we added copper penny gutters! Ready to see it all finished?? Exterior Before- Exterior ... Read More

We put a TV Outside on a Vintage Mail Sorter
We had friends coming over on Saturday night for dinner, swimming and pickle ball. Kevin mentioned that college football was starting that night too and knew friends would want to have the game on. We could have turned it on inside, but didn't want to have two separate parties. Thinking how great it would be to have a TV outside, I remembered a vintage mail sorter we saw yesterday vintage shopping and knew it was the perfect solution! Kevin went and picked up the (heavy) vintage mail sorter. It is made of metal, so it will withstand the outdoor elements! We filled it with a bunch of ... Read More

Living Room and Painted Piano Makeover for Deserving Single Mom
I am excited to share this makeover today with you. About 4 months ago a sweet family in our community lost someone very dear.
