We've been on a mission to replace the flooring in our house with luxury vinyl plank flooring - today, we're talking about putting vinyl plank flooring in our master bedroom which, if you ask me, is the best flooring for bedrooms! You guys! I am so excited! We did it! There is no more carpet in our bedroom and I cannot even formulate a sentence enthusiastic enough to tell you how thrilled I am. I do a little happy dance every single time I walk into my room and see the clean, beautiful View Post
Spring is officially in full swing in our neck of the woods - I even got to wear shorts one day this week! I know many of you are still getting snow (and I'm so sorry for that!), but I've gotta say I'm really loving all of the warm spring weather we're getting. It's inspiring me to get outside, do some gardening (have you seen our garden? You can check it out in my Instagram story highlights), and we're even planning a big patio refresh to kick off the season! This week I picked up this faux View Post

If you've been following along as we've planned the renovations for Jackson's bedroom, then you'll know that the biggest (and most daunting) part of the entire process is that we decided to build a giant set of DIY built in shelves into the back of his room with bookcases, toy storage, and a bed. This project has been View Post

If you are a rock-dweller, allow me to explain - hygge (pronounced "hoo-gah") has no literal translation in English, but the closest word we have would be "cozy". You know, that feeling you get when you're surrounded by your family cuddled up by the blazing fireplace, or when you take that first sip of hot chocolate of the winter season. Hygge has basically stormed the View Post
Well, friends, we've come to the end of our fun little experiment in debating controversial design decisions! We started off by chatting about painting things around the house, then we looked at magazine-worthy designs, and we're here today to take a look at our very last topic in this goofy little series I dreamed up. This week, we're going to be focusing on design in the kitchen. Kitchens are always a hot-button topic because they're the heart of the home - everyone has a strong feeling View Post
This DIY tree stump table is a quick and easy project that will add a ton of style to your home. It's one of the easiest projects we've ever done, and the end result is absolutely beautiful! This post is also known as one of the easiest projects ever in the history of this blog. SERIOUSLY. I'm as surprised as you are. Let's jump right in.

If you've ever seen a photograph of our living room, then you probably know that we have a large, glorious tufted leather ottoman right in the middle of it. This ottoman is, hands down, the number one thing in our home that we get asked about. Almost every single time I share a photo of our living room on View Post
New to this series? I'm going through the KonMari method from The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up to clean my house out once and for all! You can catch up on the series right here. Today is finally the end of this giant project! I'm cleaning out sentimental items...and then I'll be DONE! Ahhh, we've reached the end of the road.

Our little superhero is soon to have a sidekick! I'm so excited to tell you that we're finally growing our little family of three into a family of four. We've been getting questions about when we would add to our family for years now, and now that we're settled into our new home, have paid off all of our debt, and are truly hitting our stride with me being a full-time blogger, the time was finally right. I'm sure you have a few questions, so I thought I'd do a quick Q&A today to View Post
