It’s week three of the Fall 2018 One Room Challenge! Be sure to check out week one for the before photos and week two for the paint I decided on. This week I want to talk about lighting. I knew from the get go that I wanted to replace the vanity light with a brass […]

My Favorite Natural Skin Care Products
This is a little bit off topic than my usual posts but since I recently shared my bathroom makeover, I only thought it made sense to share my favorite natural skin care products. I started to actually care about what I did with my face when I was struggling with postpartum depression. To maintain some […]
Newborn Essentials
While we work towards finishing the kitchen our baby boy is working towards making his arrival, which means we too, need to work towards preparing for his arrival. I’ve come to learn which items we prefer during those precious, sleepy newborn days and wanted to share my list of newborn essentials (instead of another non-essential […]
Kitchen Lighting
We have officially begun our kitchen remodel by removing a useless wall last weekend. I can’t wait to share the big change with you but first I wanted to talk about lighting, which has proven to be a difficult design decision to settle on. source To get an idea of the space we’re lighting up, […]

Are you familiar with the gardening itch? Since we’ve lived in this house, it’s happened to me pretty consistently with the onset of […]
One Rug, Two Rooms
This is a sponsored campaign with Mums the Word Network and Kalaty Rug. All opinions are my own. About one month ago I shared with you one of Kalaty’s area rugs and an imaginary modern library. I was, and still am, pretty enamored with the Persian-style rug I shared. So when Kalaty asked me to […]
