I absolutely LOVE this time of year, here in the Pacific Northwest the weather is just about to turn beautiful (and after months of rain I am ready!) The kids are out of school, our baskets and boxes of flowers are growing like crazy and it’s late before it gets dark each evening. I love…
Dining room reveal day!
When we bought our home 4 years ago it had new flooring but everything else needed work. A LOT of work! 🙂 Some areas we worked on right away and others we moved the furniture in and they worked for a while. But left me feeling less than inspired. I have been craving color after…

DIY wood dowel wall sconces
Hey guys! Is it beautiful where you are or are you dealing with a ton of rain like we are here in the Pacific NW? This weather has been CRAY. Warm and sunny one day, hailing the next! So it’s not really pressure-wash-the-patio kind of weather so I am staying in and looking for ways…

My oldest recently bought me two amazing “plant lady” patio pillows for my birthday, so Mandy thank you for the awesome pillows and inspiring this post! So, I like plants, but I was not always a good plant owner. In fact, it has only been the last 10 or so years that I have not…
DIY raffia wall hangings

Big changes in the dining room
This refresh in our dining room has been a long time coming, I am SO excited! It seems like a living room or kitchen gets more attention (is it just me?) and the dining room just does not seem to be something we think about updating very often. As our style and ideas for our…
How to modernize your fireplace
When we bought our 1970’s mid century modern home almost 4 years ago the 70’s were still alive and going strong in many areas of our home. At the time I wanted a super clean space and was not ready to bring a lot of color or changes in quite yet. I have always felt…

DIY floral art modern + thrifty (cut and paste skill required)
I have been seeing so many amazing collages online lately, and I love them! I must admit I was really not sure where to start. Do I use a picture of myself, or something online, or already a picture to add to? Should I leave it simple or put it in a pretty frame. Who…
Hydrating DIY lemon hand + body scrub

DIY neutral beaded vases
You guys! I was thrilled to find these vases this summer at one of our local Goodwill stores, I think I paid $10 bucks for the pair (EVEN BETTER!) I filled them with pretty Fall stems and enjoyed them so much. I tucked them away for the holidays, and when I brought them back out…
DIY textured wall hangings and a new green entryway
Happy January! I was a bit more quiet than usual over the holidays but it was just one of those years that you find yourself needing to rest. Being an area I struggle with (rest, self-care, quietness) I decided to take the pressure to post off and just enjoy. And paint a bit of course!…
Easy woven wall hanging (a great gift!)
Sooooo I finally broke down. After resisting for a long time and I took a risk. A yarn-related risk, and I am so glad I did! I love yarn and fiber arts but I don’t macrame, knit or crochet. I have made a few non-woven wall hangings but I kept seeing all this gorgeous yarn…

Setting a casual + elegant thanksgiving table
I find myself so excited to decorate for winter and Christmas that I need to slow my roll a bit and enjoy November.

The BEST gluten free mac & cheese
I don’t share a lot of recipes here on the blog and I am not sure why as I find myself cooking 5+ nights a week for a family of 5, always gluten free! About 11 years ago after a lifetime of suffering with digestive issues I decided to eliminate gluten and see what would…
