It’s official, our brand new addition has acquired its first set of wall holes. There’s something about the new drywall factor that made it so hard to finally drill into it. But alas, our coats and bags needed somewhere to hang. Our entryway now looks a bit more filled out than it did before. I […]

Easy Dip Dyed Gift Tags
Wow, Christmas is right around the corner. We’re talking three days, people! My gift baking is done but I can’t say the same about the gift shopping. So although I may not be completely ready to wrap gifts, I am slightly prepared to wrap them. I made these gift tags last weekend and love how […]

Dust, Dust, and More Dust
This week has been a little crazy in home renovation land. Last weekend we painted the exterior of the house and removed the carpet in the girls’ shared bedroom. Right after getting out of paint mode, we moved on to demolishing our tile floor. I’m not gonna lie, it was a little fun. Since then, […]

Exterior Paint Color: Charcoal

First, I was convinced I wanted our house to be white but after observing other homes with white paint, I noticed how dull and dirty they look. I could go outside after each rainstorm and clean […]
