Our kids had a few days off for Fall Break, so we decided to go on a quick trip to get in some hiking and enjoy the outdoors while the weather was still nice. Kevin found a fun place to stay that had great places to hike close by. Sharing photos and details from the trip for those that asked!

How to Hang Serving Boards- Serving Board Gallery Wall
We have a wall, actually two walls where we hang our serving boards. Not only do they make for a unique statement wall, they add texture and are practical! But they can only be practical if you hang them so you can easily remove them from the wall when you want! Today I am sharing exactly how we hang our serving boards and also linking some of my favorites. I love to serve all types of food on our cutting boards from sliced fresh baked bread, cookies, veggies, sandwich fixings, really anything! Great gift idea too!

Kitchen Shelf Styling with Everyday Things with Christmas Touches
I love to style our kitchen open shelves with everyday items we use. From plates, bowls, silverware, cake pedestal, cups, napkins and even snacks. I restyled our basement kitchen shelf and hung our cups with a hook under the shelf and added a few Christmas touches. Slowly start sprinkling in Christmas! All of these items would make for great gift ideas too! Thank you Walmart for sponsoring this post Walmart Kitchen Shelf Favorites- ... Read More
Places we added Shiplap and Why
We have shiplap in 9 places in our current home. It can add something interesting to a quirky area, pull a room together, or even hide a damaged wall. We love to do DIY projects, but we actually hired someone to install all of the shiplap. The way a professional installs woodwork, and trim it out, can't be beat. I pulled together all the places we added shiplap to hopefully give you ideas! Not sure where to start? Pick one of the most noticeable areas in your home that you want to add some charm. Or a spot the ceiling is low or quirky and want to add some charm. Kitchens, dining room, or entry ... Read More
Main Floor Laundry Nook with Favorite Geometric Rugs and Lamp Shades
Last week I shared our second floor laundry nook. We have loved having a washer and dryer on each floor of our house. We don't have a "traditional laundry room", rather laundry nooks. I realize it is a luxury to have more than one washer and dryer, and we haven't always had a home or place for more than one wash and dryer. If you find yourself with the space for laundry hook-ups, add one in, no matter where it is. It helps to stay on top of laundry that's for sure. And gives each person ownership of their own laundry rather than one person. Geometric ... Read More
3 Simple Ways to Change Your Bedroom for the Season
It is getting colder and closer to the holidays, putting me in the mood to make things extra cozy. What about you? Our bedroom is all white, and I don't plan on painting it anytime soon. Instead I keep my duvet and pillows neutral, but made a big impact by swapping out the curtains, adding a throw and even changed the rug. You could even move things around from room to room and that will make your space feel different. We made 3 simple changes to our bedroom for the season. Want to see?

Second Floor Laundry Nook
When we added on the second floor of our ranch home we created a spot for a stackable washer and dryer. So happy we did it! It has been nice for the girls to do their laundry by their room, easier to stay on top of it. Hopefully this gives you inspiration for a small laundry space. Or inspires you if you are remodeling or building to add the hook-ups for a washer and dryer to tricky spot or another floor. Laundry Favorites- ... Read More

3 Storage Solutions for Open Shelves and The Home Depot Sale
We have open shelves in our drink room that really have to not only look good, but serve as storage. Hindsight closed cabinets might have been better here. But then I wouldn't be able to have plants, and this room does get a lot of natural light. I wanted to make these shelves function better for our drinks and supplements. So I ordered baskets for storage and hooks to hang mugs on. Thought I would share the simple changes and a few items on sale with The Home Depot! Thank you The Home Depot for sponsoring this post Tip #1- Hang Mugs to Save Shelf Space- Tip #2- Use Baskets as ... Read More
New Faux Beams in our Dining Room- Cost and Details
I have wanted to add beams since we moved into our 1970's ranch remodel. We could have had them installed when we were remodeling, but to be honest, we were just so anxious to move in, we decided to wait. Fast forward to living in our home for about a year...we still wanted the beams in the dining room! Adding beams can be a DIY project, that being said, we decided to hire it out and we are glad we did. It is a time consuming project, and we didn't have time to accomplish. I am answering all your beam questions today and sharing all the details! Dining Room Before Beams- Dining Room ... Read More
