Deck- Switching from Lattice to Slats and How we Clean our Deck
Surprise Sunday Post! I was too excited to wait until Monday to share.
While we were in Utah Kevin took on a big project to keep himself busy and not missing us too badly. He removed the lattice and installed horizontal slats. It looks SO good! I thought we were going to have to hire this out. He totally impressed me with is handy skills!

Pillows- What to search for and my new Pillow Favorites!
We did some rug olympics this past week and if you have put a rug under a bed (that is already set-up) you know you think you deserve an award! Come see the changes and the new pillows I got from somewhere you might not have thought of! I shared my tips on how to search for eclectic unique pillows HERE.
Below I answered a Design Question below from one of you!
Design Question-
“I have an out door space I need help with. Just bought a new table and chair set. Just don’t know where to begin to tie it all together…”
I told her it looks so pretty! And asked if she would want to add a rug….
“Yes, I can’t figure out style? Color? Pattern or no pattern. Your home is beautiful and you make it seem so easy. I like more pale colors…thank you for getting back to me.”
I would go with a lighter rug if you can to break up the dark chairs and be a pop! I love THIS one and I have it in the black. Or you could look for a stripe that is tan and white.
BTW this week I am sharing the changes to our front porch too!

Top 5 Most Bang for Your Buck Ideas to do in your Home
Today I joined 4 other bloggers to share things you can do in your home to get the most “BANG FOR YOUR BUCK!”
You can probably guess some of my ideas. I just added some little lights in our kitchen and love the glow. You can see them today along with what the other bloggers ideas are! HERE
Also I am answering an older design question I got (I will let you know when I am caught up and can take more questions!) I replied to about 6 of your design questions via email. Working my way thru and love connecting with you!
Design Question
We got this rug from home goods and it just doesn’t speak to me like the other rug did. Perhaps it’s the more traditional, busy pattern? Do you have a rug suggestion? We are also going to paint the room a different color and are having a hard time deciding the color. Our budget around $400-$500
Thank you, Kathryn
You are right- that rug is too gray for your space and with the brown leather. I would do a rug that pulls in the brown and lightens up the room. In your price range for a large rug I saw THIS one that would look great. ALSO- you want the front of the legs of both sofa’s to be ON TOP of the rug to connect the space.
Head to todays blog post HERE….here are two of the Bang for your Buck Ideas shared by the other bloggers-
Driven By Decor painted her bathroom tile- below is the BEFORE go see the after!
