Swivel chairs are really the best chairs for a gathering space, large or small. We had a swivel chair in our small cape, it allowed us to get the most out of our small family room, which doubled as a guest room. When I heard Drew Barrymore was releasing a new swivel chair, in a boucle fabric, I had to test it out! I have a couple areas in our home where I thought it could go, the first spot I tried was in our family room. ... Read More

Primary Bedroom Makeover- Iron King Bed and Lattice Trim Wall
We recently did a bedroom makeover for my best friend, Laila. We have shared their kids bedrooms and her office, thankful she lets us come in and take over rooms in her home to share ideas with you, and she works right along side me getting it done! Laila and her family moved into this home about a year ago, it was built in the 90's and has a great footprint, but it needed some updating and Laila's personality in it! Their bedroom is now my favorite room in their house, it feels so much bigger, brighter and still manages to feel cozy. Ready to see it? First take a look at my design ... Read More

New Ice Cream Maker and Easy Homemade Ice Cream Vanilla Recipe
We grew up enjoying homemade ice cream all summer. Myself and all my siblings would get excited when we saw my dad bring out the homemade ice cream maker. But, it was a slow torture because it would take all day to make! We had the kind of ice cream maker that you use actual ice and rock salt. Loud and messy. But wow, it tasted so good. I personally love homemade ice cream right out of the ice cream maker, runny like a milkshake, the kind that you could use a straw if you wanted. Today I am sharing our new ice cream maker, and our four ingredient ice cream recipe, that only takes 30 minutes. ... Read More
Repotting Houseplants Tips- Repotting my Ficus Triangularius
Spring is the best time to repot your houseplants! Really you can do it anytime of the year if your plant is outgrowing their current pot. But for best results, wait for growing season, the start of spring. Not only is it good to repot in the next size up, but it is good to refresh the soil. Most ALL my plants stay in the pot they come home in from the nursery, allowing them to get used to their new environment. Besides repotting in the spring, I only repot if I the plant isn't retaining water, or root bound (roots are taking over). Today I am repotting two of my Ficus Triangularius plants. ... Read More
