You may think I’ve completely gone off my rocker with this one, folks. You see, we got a new bed last Fall. We went from queen to king, and when that happened, our large nightstands no longer fit. We basically have only one wall to place our bed, due to bathrooms and closets and all […]
DIY Boxwood Wreath Update: The Verdict Is In…
January 18, 2016 by Leave a Comment
Super quick post for inquiring minds… When I made my Freebie DIY Boxwoods last November, none of us knew how they’d pan out. Would they even make it a couple weeks? Through Christmas? I didn’t know, but I promised you I’d keep you in the loop. It is now January 18th, and this photo was […]
The Dining Room in January
January 14, 2016 by 14 Comments
If you read my last post, you know how much I’m crushing on the simplicity of my January decor. The dining room is no exception. Taking down all the Christmas decorations…the greens, the reds…they were so beautiful, but it was time and I was ready to get down to just the basics again. It just feels […]
Dear January, I’m So Sorry…

So I finally got around to taking down the Christmas decorations. Usually I HATE this chore. It makes my house look so darn sad and pathetic and bare. I get all grumpy and blah. Oh January. You’ve always been my least favorite. (Sorry, all you January babies – nothing against you, promise!) But this year…this year […]
A Chair for the Big Girl Room
January 11, 2016 by 5 Comments
Ever since I finished my daughter’s Big Girl Room, I’ve been looking for a beanbag chair for a particular corner of her room. It just looked like it needed something, but MAN! It was hard. You see, it’s a spot right next to her bold coral dresser, so it couldn’t be anything too in your […]
Driftwood DIY Wedding Sign

Recently I discovered this gem at Hobby Lobby: They sell these awesome bundles of driftwood! I know, right?! They come in a couple sizes – that pic shows the long ones, which I used for the H in my “Home” letters: But they also sell smaller ones. I was so excited when I spotted them, […]

Happy 2016, guys! Hard to believe, isn’t it? As much as I adore Christmas and all the fun chaos December brings (and yes, all of my decorations are STILL UP!), it is kinda fun to get back to normal and think about all the projects in store…and what rooms will be getting painted (again) this […]
My Favorite Projects of 2015

So I shared what was most popular with you guys in yesterday’s post. Thought it’d be fun to share what 2015 projects floated my boat today! They aren’t necessarily the most dramatic, or big room makeovers, but they’re just those things I look at it every day and smile. So many times we walk through […]

I mean, HOW AM I EVEN TYPING THIS?!! Best of 2015 already?! Goodness. It was a super fun year for our house – three kids’ rooms, a powder room, AND a basement makeover?! And lots of fun little stuff in between. We were busy busy busy… I looked through the year, and these were the […]
How The Kindness of Strangers Gave Us a Christmas Miracle
December 29, 2015 by 11 Comments
Hello! I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas! We sure did. We had our health and our loved ones around us, and I mean really, what more could you ask for? But we also had a Christmas my son will never ever forget. I’d go out on a leap and say that his 6th […]
Hi there! I’m Liz, a former teacher-turned-stay-at-home mom to three kids, with a passion to create a warm and inviting home on a budget. This blog all started when I’d put the babies down for a nap, and squeeze in a project during those precious couple of hours! My hope is that you visit this page and feel inspired to do a little “naptime decorating” of your own. Thank you so much for stopping by!
