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…

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…

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…

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.…

Black & White Guest Bathroom
Over the weekend I posted a picture of my favorite bathroom re-do in our entire house. Our house has six bathrooms total 🙄 Way too many toilets to clean… We renovated four of the six bathrooms, so I have some work to do in the future 😉 The black and white guest bathroom is by far my favorite. I love bathroom renovations because I genuinely feel like it’s a room you can be bold with your designs. I found I fell so neutral in many of our rooms and really went for it in the bathrooms. It is so easy to incorporate, fun tiles, wallpaper, bold hardware a fun paint…

Flannel Crib Sheets!
Winter is well on his way and the nights are so very cold in our house ❄️ One way we cozy up the nursery is using the Vornadobaby Tempa Nursery Space Heater we love it and use it everyday. Another way we keep Lulu warm at night is to switch her summer crib sheets for some snuggly flannel crib sheets. Amazon has the cutest patterns for flannel crib sheets. I just couldn’t resist this adorable pink Christmas pattern. They also have this pattern in blue for your little boy. Lulu loves to look at the animals and we talk about the snowmen and the reindeer, it’s a fun thing to…

Products you didn’t know you needed…
My hubby tends to find a product, mostly on Amazon, that he believes is a solution to one of his many household “problems.” His latest “problem” was the amount of hair he finds on our bathroom floor 😆 Since I have been talking baby lately let’s touch on how much hair us women actually shed postpartum 😳 So many Moms would say this to me and I’d think “yea ok” but they were 100% right, it’s like half my head of hair started falling out. Hubby was not keen on finding strands in his toes (sorry if that is too much information LOL) I wasn’t super excited about it either…

My Crockpot, The Original Slow Cooker Review
Yesterday I made the best soup in my crockpot, using my prep sink of course 😉 We are a soup obsessed family, especially in the winter time. I usually make a soup in the crockpot twice a month just to have in the fridge. My sister came across this recipe one year after Christmas. It is Holly’s slow cooker corn chowder from her blog Spend With Pennies she has one of my favorite food blogs! We do alter it and use honey cured ham instead of bacon, we did this originally to use up the Christmas ham leftovers and it was so good. Last year I purchased my Crockpot, after…

Coffee & Tea Junkie Hostess Gift
My sister gifted me the Coffee & Tea Junkie Pour-Over Advent Calendar. Such a fun gift idea for a coffee lover ☕️ Or if you have decided to enjoy a safe Thanksgiving with a small group, what a great hostess gift this would be! It comes with 24 packs of coffee so you can enjoy a fresh cup everyday until Christmas. Here is the best part… Each day is a surprise flavor 😀 I think that is so fun. If you are gifting to a Keurig loving family, she makes a K Cup Advent Calendar too. You don’t even need a coffee maker for the pour over coffee. She includes…
