The rug I had ordered after selling our previous one came in last Friday. I was nervous – as in, really nervous – that I wouldn’t like it as much as our sweater rug. Thankfully I come baring good news – I love it! I loved the sweater rug as well, but this one is […]
Our Home
Black-Out Curtains to the Rescue
As you may know, we live in a two bedroom home with three children, which means shared bedrooms are a necessity. Our oldest two used to share a room while my husband and I co-slept with our baby. Since then, we decided to forfeit our bedroom for the sake of more sleep and eventually moved […]
Changing My Rug Mind
A couple of days ago, I said goodbye to our sweater rug. I did love the rug, but something wasn’t settling right with me. What mostly bothered me was the way the brownish undertones clashed with the blueish-black of our couch. It drove me crazy. Seriously though, since when has there been one hundred shades […]
A Sweater Rug for the Living Room
After a month on back order, our area rug is now here! After much deliberation, we ended up settling on West Elm’s sweater rug in sable; mainly because it is a high quality wool rug in our budget. I had my worries, especially since I hadn’t seen it in person, so waiting a month was painstaking. […]

Well that piece of crucial, load baring particle broke, just tore right in […]

It is such an improvement from the yellow we had before. Don’t get me wrong, I love me the color yellow, just not on our walls. Lessons learned, right? […]
Bathroom Reveal
If you’ve been following along, you’ve watched our bathroom go from this… …to this. Seriously, I’m kind of in shock. If you had told me one month ago my bathroom would look like this, I wouldn’t have believed you. I did that?! No way! All it took was a quart of free paint, one can […]
Hello, Bathroom Shelves!
Going into the Style Cure, I knew I wanted to replace the standard metal shelf in our bathroom with thick floating shelves. I also knew what wood I wanted to use for those shelves, which was a thick piece from a pile of scrap wood I bought at an estate sale. In order to achieve […]
