Last year we made over my best friend, Laila's office. The room already had nice board and batten, and then we brought in some fun colors through the rug and accessories. The other day we were in the room and said, why we didn't paint the room?! I've talked about how homes are always evolving, and Laila and I both decided a fun color would be nice to add. But not just any color, the color of the year! We also gave her IKEA bookcase an upgrade! This is what Laila's office looked like before the paint. Cute, right? All the walls had just gotten painted in one of my favorite white paints, ... Read More
Dining Room- New Oval Table and Plans
We went from a 72" round dining table to a 96" oval dining table. I shared that we covered up a door in our dining room, we didn't need with an arched glass cabinet, which matched one on the other side of our fireplace. After doing that it made the room feel so much bigger! We no longer needed to keep a walkway for the door, making it so we could actually fit a bigger table, and one that fit the rectangle shape of the room. This is where we put the other arch cabinet, the piano was on the wall where all the portrait wall is. We moved the piano to our family room, it fit perfectly ... Read More
Why I take Collagen for my Skin, and other supplement favorites!
My New Years goal is to take my collagen supplement every day and get in more protein. I've taken it off and on and loved the results, so imagine if I make it part of my daily routine?! I mean, if I can reduce the appearance of fine lines and deep wrinkles naturally, just by taking a supplement, I'm all in! Collagen is naturally produced by our bodies, but did you know it's ability starts to decrease around the age of 30, which is why collagen supplementation has become such a favorite for skin care. Sharing my favorite collagen and why! First, I think a good question to answer is "what ... Read More

Garage Storage Solution and Lowe’s Gift Ideas
In our 1100 square foot home in Connecticut where we lived for 6 years, we had a large unfinished basement (that couldn't ever be livable) that we used for storage, but no garage.

Teen Girl Bedroom- Checkered Wallpaper with Built-in Nook for Desk
I was talking to my friend April, (who is also my neighbor) and she had mentioned that her daughter, Elle, has a hard time getting to sleep and actually wanting to sleep in her room. April said, "maybe if I decorated it, she would like it more." I totally agree with that, when kids like their bedrooms, they want to spend time in there, and then hopefully makes them feel comfortable enough to sleep in their beds! It is the snowball effect. So I offered to give Elle a bedroom makeover! Thank you The Company Store for sponsoring this makeover! Elle Bedroom Plan- Checkered Wallpaper // ... Read More

Family Room Christmas 2023
I shared our piano set-up yesterday and wanted to share a closer look at our Christmas tree in here! Our fireplace is the star of the show in this room. I started with a lot of garland on the mantel, and layered decor with it, a collection of trees mostly and boxwood topiaries. Sharing all the details here! We did get a new Christmas tree in this room. Our previous tree had lights that didn't work in the center, and we had gotten a full credit on it, my sister in-law asked if we had any trees we weren't using so we passed that to her. We ordered this downswept Christmas Tree. We love it! ... Read More
Frame TV Christmas Art (free!) with Picture Lights and Top Christmas Movies (with graphic)
Remember how we moved our piano into the family room? We had a console there that I did like, it just felt to small for that area. I asked Kevin to help me to move our piano to that space instead (easy right?!). And we both knew it was the right move. This is our family room that is connected to our kitchen, so it just made sense to have the piano in our main space. And bonus we have all been practicing more! See how the TV looks with FREE art downloads for you!!! See how it fills the space better? I also knew the piano would be used so much more, which means we need a light above the ... Read More
