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…

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 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…

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…

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…
