Who wants some free swag?! (see what I did there?) 😉 Now, I know Christmas is just a few days away now, but I am not your typical blogger and seem to do these projects in ‘real time’ – aka I’m decorating with the rest of you, not months early like I should if I […]
Simple Ways to Create a Christmas Kitchen
December 18, 2015 by 4 Comments
Thank you all for your kind comments about our Christmas Family Room and Dining Room! You’re just the best. The last stop on this holiday tour is our kitchen. The kitchen has gone through a couple changes over the year – first, the island, which got a HUGE facelift and went from something I didn’t […]
The Dining Room at Christmastime: 2015
December 16, 2015 by 4 Comments
As you may know, our dining room has probably gone through more makeovers than any room in this house! It used to be dark, then light, then colorful, now…it has a more rustic, natural vibe. (You can see all the different looks in this post). So this year, I traded in the bright aquas and […]

Oh my goodness, Christmas is NEXT FRIDAY ALREADY?!! I don’t even know how that happened, but wow. Goes faster and faster every year. The decorating is finally done (wish I could say the same for the shopping!), and this week will be a fun week of tours on the blog! Let’s start with the Family […]
A New Black Door and a White Cozy Wreath
December 11, 2015 by 18 Comments
Oh. Em. Geeeeee YOU GUYS! This one is gonna knock your socks off. How a $3 sample of paint can make THIS much of a difference…blows my mind every time! Let’s get right down to it, shall we? I’ve been living with a boring white door in our kitchen (it’s the side door entrance) for, […]
Joy! My First Christmas Craft of the Season
November 24, 2015 by 14 Comments
Yes, I did it. The Christmas crafts are officially upon us, and I tackled my first one over the weekend. It was funny – I had just walked in the house from a Friendsgiving feast with our best friends and I kid you not – the DIY Leaf Garland that has yet to fall ONCE […]
Our Freebie DIY Dartboard Project
November 15, 2015 by 8 Comments
Wow. So my last post was eerily timely, huh? But just as I said in that post, I will continue to go forth and blog…while I pray and pray…and pray some more for Paris and the rest of this world of ours. God bless. If you recall from the Basement Makeover Post, there were too […]
Because It’s So Much More Than Decorating…
November 10, 2015 by 12 Comments
Not too long ago, as I was logging onto Facebook to share a new blog post, I noticed my newsfeed was filled with all kinds of sadness. A school shooting, a plane crash, a bombing…I felt a little silly posting about my latest project. How trivial, I thought. When you see all the problems 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 […]
Don’t Forget the Doors! (And Railing…and knobs)
November 2, 2015 by 4 Comments
This – what I’m about to blog about right this very second – is something I almost overlooked. Something I almost wasn’t going to worry about. It’s not that big of a deal, I said. It won’t make that big a difference, I said. HA! If I only knew… Details, friends. It’s those small touches that […]
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!
