I thought I would do a blog post on three different duvet inserts with three different price points. Not all duvet inserts are created equal, but often a quality insert does the trick, you don't have to buy the most expensive option. While I was testing duvet inserts, I also tried a couple different looks for bedding. I personally love a neutral base, then I can change the look each season or when I feel like a change without having to get all new bedding. I don't think there is one way to make a bed. If you like a lot of pillows, then more is more! If too many pillows bothers you, then less ... Read More
Front Porch with Daisies and Favorite Baskets
Our porch needed some love. A few of the plants we had on the porch weren't looking that great, either needed to be moved to a new spot or were annuals that were past their prime. First I cleared everything off and cleaned the porch. Always good to start with a clean slate!

Backyard Sports Court- FAQ
When we were deciding on our layout for our backyard Kevin and I both really wanted to create a space where we could host friends, and family. A place where the kids could be active and want to bring their friends. A place they felt comfortable, that was safe and a place for lots of fun! All of us knew we would enjoy a basketball court, pickleball court and even a futsol (soccer). After discussing the layout with our landscapers we found the perfect spot for the sports court and luckily we had just enough space in our backyard! Sports Court Before Sports Court Cost and ...

Small Bathroom Reveal with Plaid Tile- Utah Ranch Home
We have a really small quirky bathroom in the basement of our 1970's home. It had a really small shower. Blinds that were used as a room divider to the utility room. It needed some love. I knew we could work with this small space and make it a nice guest bathroom. I wish it had a window, but hard to add one in a basement! So we embraced the dark space and painted the walls a dark.

What Every Guest Room Needs- Triplet Guest Room
We had 12 women sleepover this past weekend, it was so much fun. And one night we hosted 30 women for a party who were all mostly from out of town. Some of them stayed at an Airbnb, and it got us talking about things they were frustrated weren't in the guest rooms.
