Kevin and I went back and forth on what closet system we were going to do. First we thought we were going to have our finish carpenter put in a shelf and a simple rod for the kids closets. But decided we wanted better use of the space. I was very happy when we found Lundia USA closet system, they are an American company, and focused on eco-friendly options. We reached out and partnered with them on this blog post! All their products are built out of hardwood, no particle board!!! Which means no formaldehyde. They offer a wide range of custom sizes. The process of ordering our closet systems ... Read More
Teen Boy Bedroom- Gray Walls and Hat Wall
Yesterday we went back to my friend Laila's house to help makeover her other son, Simeon's teen bedroom. We just made over his brothers room, and couldn't just do one of the boys room! Simeon actually requested his room be painted the same Gray paint like his room in their old house. And his other request (to his parents for years, he jokes) was to not sleep on springs anymore! I partnered with Tuft & Needle to give him that mattress on his wish list! Teen Bedroom Before- Teen Bedroom After- Bed and Bedding- Tuft & Needle Bedding Favorites- Linen Duvet ... Read More

Finally sharing our dining room! We are really enjoying it. I haven't shared it yet because I was waiting for a few things and we do want to add beams to the ceiling.

Teen Boy Bedroom- Basketball Sports Vibe
Our friends, Casi and Andrew were hanging out at our house with their kids a couple weekends ago. Casi mentioned that she was going to makeover her oldest sons, Stockton, bedroom for his 15th birthday. I offered to help her! We think Stockton is such a good kid, always so polite and fun to hang out with, so we were looking forward to doing this for him. His only request was that it reflected his love of basketball and he was hoping to have a lamp!

Basement Family Room- Utah Ranch Home
Our basement family room has gotten a lot of use already after only living here for 6 months. We especially love this large space to gather around the holidays and for winter birthdays! This basement space is a really long narrow room, basically a bowling ally! I was concerned with how narrow it was that we wouldn't be able to get a lot of seating in here. I was wrong! With the right furniture placement we pulled it off! We have easily gathered with 20+ people and could squeeze in way more if needed! The biggest things we did in this room was make the windows larger, moved the stairs to ... Read More
Small Patio Set, Spring Front Porch and Planters
Ready to spend a lot of time outside??? We are!! We have already been eating at our outdoor table that is under our covered porch, the sun sets in our backyard, so it gets a lot of sun and warmth. You can't see our pool from that covered patio area, so it felt like we needed a smaller table by the pool we can eat at when when people are swimming, or even to serve snacks on. I found a great small patio set that doesn't need to be covered, and that was really cute! Also started planting some plants for the front porch and pool area. Watering Can (outdoor)Scalloped ...

Eat-in Kitchen with Wallpaper Wall and Industrial Island
My sister and her boyfriend just moved into a new place that is great for them! If you remember we helped them with their bedroom not too long ago. I wanted to help them pull their kitchen together for my sisters birthday! They have a great open kitchen that had plenty of room for a large dining table and space to add an island. Also the room had some nice woodwork on one wall that was added by the previous home owner. We felt the space could use some color to match both of their fun personalities and style! Thank you Walmart for sponsoring this post Eat-in Kitchen Before- Eat-in ... Read More
My Recent Amazon Purchases
Anyone else wonder how we did things before Amazon? Maybe bought less stuff! I will say it has made decorating our house easier. I LOVE to support local as much as I can, but there are the occasional things that you just can't find local. Like that retro rolling cooler for your backyard or the wall sconce you need to finish off a wall. Or to order more of the tanning lotion you were gifted and love! All of those items and more are in this months round-up of my Amazon recent purchases! Bamboo Plate Holder- when we stayed at my friend, Jessica's house in Kanas City, she had these chargers ...

Hope that gave you a fun idea to make your Easter Gathering extra special. ... Read More
