We’ll be cooking a big Thanksgiving turkey tomorrow in our kitchen and will most likely be even more eager to begin renovations afterwards. I’ll be back another day with before photos and the majority of our plans however, today is a day for pretty pictures full of inspiration. We started out dreaming of white cabinets […]
Hooray for Fridays!
I had intended on sharing Isabelle’s flamingo party this week but things don’t always go according to plan, so I’ll substitute that post with this random one. Next week kicks off Thanksgiving week and we’re pretty excited. We’ll be sous vide-ing the turkey this year, instead of our typical untraditional method. Philip is excited to […]
The Beige Bathroom: Before
When finding motivation to get out of my paralysis, the bathroom seemed like a logical starting point. Without a complete renovation, bathrooms can be fairly inexpensive to update. I feel a little confident with this project since I’ve had some experience with bathrooms in the past. As much as we’d love to gut the bathroom and […]
Paralyzed Progress
Paralyzed. That’s how I’ve been feeling lately when it comes to making progress on our home. I want to do something and need to start somewhere, but every task seems to rely on another task being completed first. For instance, unpacking boxes requires some shelves to place all of the contents. Installing shelves requires paint. […]
Inspiration: Shelves
While our new home boasts a lot of space (for us!), it’s seriously lacking in functionality. Out of necessity, I had put up shelves in multiple places in our old house; the bathroom and the living room shelves were used daily, and the toy shelves in the girls’ room were super handy. Now that we […]
Hi, Friday
This week was challenging to handle, to say the least. My brain feels super foggy and I just can’t seem to process anything, which has been leading to mostly chaos. Thankfully, the weather in Florida was wonderful so we were able to spend a lot of time outside while the little one’s ran off all […]
Flamingo, Flamingo, Flamingo
For the past two years, Isabelle has dressed up as a pink flamingo for trick-or-trick (AKA: her “favorite game”). I thought it was only fitting to throw her a flamingo party for her birthday this year. I’ve had ideas swarming around my head for a few weeks and have finally began executing them this week […]
Paint Decisions
Choosing paint colors was on the top of my priority list for our new place, so as soon as we moved in, I got straight to work painting multiple samples on every wall. After weeks of deliberating (this one is too beige, but this one is too blue!), we settled on two paint colors for our […]
One Corner Down, Twenty More To Go
We’ve been living at our new house for over two months and the majority of our belongings are still in boxes. There are sealed moving boxes in just about every room in the house and even more are being stored in my mother’s garage (thanks, mom!). Despite the state of the rest of the house, […]
Charcuterie Table
Have I ever admitted on here that I rarely pronounce words correctly? Words like apricot, pecan, Oregon, and wainscoting are a few that are debatable and even excusable. I’m not referring to those words, though. I’m talking about words like anonymous, where the N’s and M’s get all mixed up; synonym, which of course comes […]
