I get asked often about window curtain panels. From how high to hang the curtain rod to how wide, and how many on each side. In this blog post I share my tips and tricks from past makeovers for hanging curtain panels and my favorite window treatments! Curtain Panels How high to hang curtain rod? It really depends on the room on how wide I hang the curtain rods. As you can see in our bedroom we don't have a lot of space to hang the rod above the window. Most of the time I hang the rod about 5"-6" above the window and about 5-6" wider than the window. In our bedroom I did hang them 5" ... Read More

Boys Bedroom Plan and Kids Gift Ideas
We are doing a local boys bedroom makeover the first week in December. I wanted to share the before and our plan! It might give you some inspiration if you are wanting to gift some bedroom items for Christmas! A local blog reader and oily member reached out when she saw we were looking for a local room to makeover. This is what she said… "This boy is deserving of a makeover because he’s taking a leap of faith with my husband & I and switching schools this year!" From a personal perspective Kevin had to go through something similar when his parents got divorced about the same age, this ... Read More

If you are unfamiliar with removable wallpaper it is basically like a ... Read More
Christmas in Kids Bedroom- Finn’s Bunk Room & Girls Share Bedroom
Do you decorate your kids rooms for Christmas? I do! Are you surprised?? I would have LOVED having a mini Christmas tree in my room with magical twinkle lights as a kid. Wouldn't you? Actually I want it as an adult! I have had the same Christmas tree for Finn for 3 years now, from Home Goods (this tree is kind-of similar). All his ornaments are pretty random, collected over the years. I always start with a garland on any tree I decorate, on his tree I did chunky felt ball garland (I have had that for awhile too). This year I added these felt animals, that Finn was thrilled about! ... Read More
Christmas Front Porch and Walmart Winter Favorites

Thanks for spooning this post Walmart Christmas Front Porch- LOVE how our porch turned out this year!!! I used planters I have had for years, just planted fresh pine trees and greens in them.

Christmas Fireplace Mantle and our Narrow Christmas Tree
Having a fireplace is a real treat this time of year. This is our third year having a fireplace in this home. When we added this electric fireplace I had visions of swooping garland and stockings hung from the mantle. Vision came true this year. I brought out all my Christmas garland from past years and ended up layering it all here! It is very extra, but it feels very cozy and goes with our layered look. Since I beefed up the gland so much I kept the decor on the mantle pretty simple with art, battery candles and a mercury tree (our mercury tree is old). To attach all the garland I ... Read More
Christmas Kitchen Shelves and Target Christmas
One of my favorite things in our kitchen is our open shelves. Of course it was the first thing I decorated for Christmas. And as I started to write this I realized it really isn't a ton of Christmas, but it feels like a seasonal change. Just a couple bottle brush trees, and colorful bowls! I did end up adding some twinkle lights and festive art! And linking up some favorites from my Target trip the other day…. Visions of Sugar Plums Danced in their heads…isn't that art just made for our kitchen?? From my favorite Lindsay Letters. She wrote "I read 'Twas the Night Before ... Read More
