EEK! Exciting stuff going down over here, folks. Something we’ve talked about and gone back and forth on for a while is actually happening. We’re taking down the wall that divides the home office and family room! Yes, the wall with the bookcases and tv and fireplace… The other side of this wall is where […]
We Have Chairs!

The search is OVER, friends! You might have seen this photo recently either on my Instagram or Facebook page, of our sad little chairless family room… Yes, our chevron chairs went to live with our nephews a few weeks back. I know, I know, a lot of you liked them. But we needed more function […]
A New Stain for The Coffee Table
March 31, 2016 by 2 Comments
When we got our coffee table a while back, I liked it a lot, but the finish on the top never floated my boat too much. It wasn’t terrible (obviously, I’ve lived with it for a few years now! ;), but it was always one of those projects I had in the back of my […]

I decided to switch things up in the Christmas stockings department this year. Well, just for my husband and me. I wasn’t crazy about the ones we bought a jillion years ago and they had a lot of forest green and maroon colors goin’ on – didn’t really vibe with the colors we had in […]
For the Love of Poufs
November 8, 2015 by 3 Comments
Got a nice new addition to our family room last week. Well, actually two. And I love them so much I had to blog about it. I’ve been wanting some of those adorable cozy-sweater-looking poufs for a long time now. But it was always one of those, “I’m already spending a jillion dollars at Target […]

Oh rugs. They’re so overwhelming to shop for, aren’t they? It’s so hard to make a decision, because well, first of all, there are so many to choose from. And if it’s a large one, it’s gonna cost you a good chuck o’ change, and who wants to live with regret if you make the […]

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!
