Garage Floor Mats
Summer 2020 seemed like the summer of home projects 😅 Spending so much time at home meant many projects staring at us in the face. One of those projects we tackled was painting the garage floors. When we moved in, the previous owners had left a garage floor epoxy painting kit. It must have been a project they intended to do and never got around to it. When we lived in our town house in the city our garage floor was painted and we loved the look. With all the time we had on our hands this summer we went ahead and painted our garage floor. Now, we needed something…

Wrapping Paper Storage
Christmas is quickly approaching and if you are like me wrapping is in full swing! I absolutely love wrapping gifts. I know, sounds crazy, but I do. My plan one day is to create a wrapping nook in my office! When I say wrapping nook, this is what I mean, a hutch with enough table space for wrapping. The wrapping paper would hang inside the hutch and so would the ribbons. Cute baskets would contain all your wrapping needs, tape, scissors, gift tags etc… Here is an example of one I found on Pinterest – I really love the idea of a wrapping nook. I think doors covering the paper…

Ruggable Rugs
Let’s talk about Ruggable Rugs! I am sure you have seen the many ads floating around social media for Ruggable, well I decided to give them a try. A machine washable rug sounded perfect for high foot traffic areas in our home. I put the Nira Grey Runner in the 2.5×7 size between the island and the counters in my kitchen. I love it, it’s the perfect fit and brings some warmth to our white oak flooring. This is an area that receives tons of foot traffic and plenty of spills, so I love that I can throw it right into the washing machine. To wash, simply remove the rug…

Christmas Magic in Downtown Denver
It has been quite the year. It is hard to believe it is already December, Halloween and Thanksgiving have flown by and Christmas is quickly approaching. I know this year has been challenging but I try really hard to bring positivity to my family and try to look on the brighter side of life. I am grateful for our health and continue to pray for others and hope for a somewhat “normal” 2021 🙏 This is Lulu’s second Christmas and when she is all grown we want her to remember the magic in Christmas so despite the craziness 2020 has brought we still want to find safe Holiday events we…

Products you never knew you needed… Part Two!
Picking out appliances was such a fun part of the renovation for me. I suggest finding a local appliance dealer, stop into their showroom and get a feel for their customer service. We actually did this with two different showrooms and knew instantly which place we wanted to give our business to. We needed to purchase all new appliances in order to achieve our kitchen vision. It felt nice to give our business to a local appliance store. For the microwave, we decided on a microwave drawer built into the kitchen cabinetry. I love how discreet a built in microwave drawer can be. If you really want to make your…

Dining Room Inspiration
Our dining room table arrived yesterday 🙌 This is a huge deal for me, we have lived in our home for TWO years, TWO years! I know furnishing your home is always something to look forward to but I have dreamed about this for two years. Right before we purchased the table, my hubby looked at me and said “are you sure this is the one you want?” Without hesitation I said “Yes, it’s been on my inspiration board for TWO years.” 😂 When we toured the house for the first time before purchasing, the previous owners had a long rectangle dining room table. After moving in and renovating the…

Christmas Front Porch
With the new windows project wrapping up around our house, we decided not to go too crazy with outdoor Christmas decor this year. The contractors still need to come replace all our gutters 😳 We figured it might be best for them to not have to work around Christmas lights. I went with a simple, welcoming front porch, with pops of red and plaids. One of my favorite parts of a home to decorate, is the front porch. Many people do not see the inside of your home, especially right now, 2020… The front porch is such a great way to show a bit of your style and welcome friends…

Christmas Gift Guide – Toddler Edition!
December is here 😬 Christmas is quickly approaching. This is Lulu’s second Christmas, I have a feeling Christmas will be a sensory overload for her this year 😅 That being said, I am going to make Christmas morning as visually pleasing as possible. Let’s be real, at 17 months she will be all about the colors, the paper, the ribbons, the music more than the actual toys. She is already all about the Christmas tree! Hanging the ornaments was so much fun with her this year 😍 Before I even went shopping for Lucy I looked for the prettiest paper and ribbons. Hallmark makes the best bulk wrapping paper. The…

Beaded Rim Dinnerware!
I am so excited to share this post with you all. I have been in love with the Costa Nova Pearl Stoneware set of beaded rim dinnerware from Pottery Barn for over a year now. They were just too pricey for me, I could not get myself to purchase them. This year for Christmas my parents offered to get us a set of Christmas dishes for our newly remodeled home. While shopping around for Christmas dishes I stumbled on some similar beaded rim dishes at Target! I unboxed them the other night just in time for our Thanksgiving dinner. They are the Threshold brand, feel heavy and very nice quality.…
