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…
Fun DIY painted summer pots!
Hey there! You won’t believe it but it’s SUNNY in the Pacific NW today (ok partly sunny but I will take it!) I am making the most of it 🙂 I am super excited to share a quick and fun DIY I did this weekend with a few small terra cotta pots and some acrylic…
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…
DIY raffia wall hangings
Ok so we all love a good deal, like REALLY love a good deal, we all love to save money. And if you love to update your vibe and try new things around your home, buying home accessories can get pretty spendy! So I like to scour the web for looks I love that I…

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…
Hydrating DIY lemon hand + body scrub
I cannot believe it is already February! Like, where did the last few months go? We have been continuing to work on #that70’shouse bit by bit around life, family, work and always wish we had more time to make more progress on the weekends. But it is a labor of love renovating a home and…
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…
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. As a kid Thanksgiving was always my Mom and Grandparents, the food wasn’t fancy but it was good. And my Grandma always brought out her lace tablecloth, cherished china, and of course,…
