Rugs. They are so hard. I mean, yes, ironically enough, I did an entire post on how to choose the perfect rug, but sometimes it’s still hard. I guess I should say, to buy rugs online is hard. What a decision! I mean, you can’t really tell what the true color is on the screen (learned […]

Say Hello To My Pretty Plank Wall
February 16, 2016 by 10 Comments
One step closer in the Master Bedroom Makeover, friends! Being the romantics that we are, my sweet husband wrapped up the plank wall on Valentine’s Day. I mean, does he know the way to my heart or WHAT? I won’t go into too much detail this time around, because we pretty much did the exact same thing […]
Yet Another Look For My Husband’s Dresser
February 8, 2016 by 96 Comments
Because nothing stays the same around here for too long, I changed up my husband’s dresser…AGAIN.

We’re like, REAL ADULTS, buying a whole matching set from a REAL furniture store…like, it […]

January 29, 2016 by 7 Comments
Oh you guys. I’ve been trying SO hard. For what seems like forever, I’ve been on the hunt for THE perfect bedroom color. Lucky for me, I’ve got about a jillion and one paint samples in my laundry room, so it’s not hard to slap some shades on the wall. I knew I wanted to […]

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 […]

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 […]
That Time I Got a Table and Chairs for $20…
October 21, 2015 by 8 Comments
Sometimes things just have a way of working out. Take this table for instance. My husband has somehow held onto this oak round table from his BACHELOR PAD. (We’re talking decades). It has moved with him many times, and we’ve even tried to sell it! And yet…it still remains. You may have one just like it […]

Ok, took a quick break from the basement posts, but we’re back at ’em today with our DIY Chalkboard and Banner! Before, this little wall next to the kid closet was just meh. And now… If you’ve been a follower for a while, you know how I feel about chalkboards. I love them. Always have, […]
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!
