The Perfect Bench and My Favorite Wreath

There’s this little wall in our dining room that has just stumped me for a loooong time. I move stuff around constantly in this particular little corner of the room, because I have yet to find the perfect thing. Part of the problem, I think, is that we have that large china cabinet in the […]

Twas The Week Before Christmas…

…and this bad little blogger still has so much left to show you! <<<<insert all the face palm emojis here>>>> Alright, there’s dining room and kitchen and bedroom stuff…not really all that exciting, as there was a lot of repeating in the decor department this year. I did do a new simple centerpiece in the […]

The Easiest, Thriftiest Curtains Ever and The Year of Perfectly Enough

Happy 2017, guys! Hard to believe I’m saying that already. I hate to see the holidays go, but there’s something wonderful about January, isn’t there?

Christmas Centerpiece and an Almost Done New Dining Room

Sometimes when you have a vision, and you can’t find that vision anywhere, you gotta think outside the box. I had an idea for a dining room centerpiece. It was clear as day in my brain: lovely greens – magnolia leaves here and there – going down the length of our table, and candles in […]

The China Cabinet Evolves…Again.

DIY Shiplap In a Frame

Hellooooo? This thing on?? First of all, if you’re still hanging in there with me, bless your heart. I know it has been a WHILE. Like, longest stretch of non-blogging in ND history, probably.
