the dining room reveal!
I've been ready for this one. And I think you guys are ready for the full reveal! A few months ago, we decided it was time to give the dining room a complete overhaul. While we loved our furniture, it was the first set we purchased when we were married. This means...

all things furniture features & party # 10
Welcome to another week of all things furniture!!! Between strep throat, double ear infections, little sleep, and Gray's hand/foot issue, there's been little sleep around here. I picked just a couple of favorites this week, but visited you all...know that I'm loving...
Benjamin’s Sailboat Birthday Party
This little guy turned 3 the other day... and had a jam-up sailboat birthday party. My incredibly talented friend (and Benjamin's mommy), Lauren, asked me to snap a few pics of the party so she could let her camera skills rest for the day, and enjoy said cutie. I'll...
photography for the gallery wall
It's been a blast to work on gallery wall for the dining room. After seeing Layla's drawing, and putting all the neutrals into place, I decided I really wanted some color in the photography. I'll mix in some found vintage objects and maybe some word art, but mostly...
bar stool redo and new pop of color winner
I could not mention it. But then you'd notice anyway. I'm not posting the dining room reveal today. I know. Don't hold it against me. Hold it against the blinds that fell apart last night and the frame store that won't open. 🙂 It's coming this week, but I...
what i did, what i didn’t, and sweat
I was supposed to do a lot today. I did some of it, and left the rest in the same place my mind must be residing these days. I didn't post about the photoshop actions today. Soon, I promise. I didn't clean my house 'til squeaking and shiny. I'm pretty sure I didn't...
must-have photoshop actions later…
Coming to you later today.... Out and about around town....some photos and different photoshop actions. Have an awesome Friday!
amazing entry at the modern cottage!
The awesome thing about hosting All Things Furniture is me getting to see your amazing projects and spaces. When I saw Alison's entryway this morning, I knew I had to share the whole thing here. It's just too gorgeous not to share... Just take a moment and take it...

a pantry makeover
I've been putting it off. Organizing the pantry, I mean. When the fabulous Shelley from House of Smith's prettied up her pantry, I was totally inspired. And overwhelmed. Really? My pantry needs to look that good? I mayyy not be able to pull that off. Now...the...
to do…
Turn this thing from sad... to spectacular. My SWEET and GENEROUS neighbor gave this to me...for free! I was so tempted to sell it, but it was her grandmother's and honestly, I love knowing the exact history behind it. And we can use all the storage we can get....
white walls
Howdy, friends. First things first, I have to give a shout-out to Ree, a.k.a. The Pioneer Woman, for featuring our writing room today! It was such a fun renovation that gave me a clean slate to write and paint in...and we've loved it every day since our addition....
Dining room reveal…oh-so-close!
A couple of months ago, we embarked on a dining room makeover. After seeing our vision come to life a la Layla, we were all in. We quickly realized it was more of an overhaul than a small makeover. Anytime you choose to build 10 foot built ins, a massive farmhouse...

It was an exciting day around here yesterday. If you follow me on Facebook, you know I got some great news (which I'll share as soon as I can). I also was floored and honored that the kids' playroom was featured on Tori Spelling's ediTORIal site!! The original article...
french provincial mirror
A couple of weeks ago, my Aunt Deb brought me a french provincial mirror and stool...and they were gorgeous. The mirror wasn't terrible as is, but it felt very formal, and did have some sort of speckling on the finish. Here's the thing...Aunt Deb hasn't told me what...
