So many days I’m thrifting, repurposing, refinishing, and diy-ing that I don’t get much of an opportunity to look at the many great products out on the market today. It’s good for me to do this every once in awhile to gain inspiration for myself and for me to work on my “design” skills. As [...]

It’s official. I finally completed a home tour which is being featured today over at It’s Overflowing! Yay! Even though I feel like all of our rooms are “half-way” done, we really know they’re never “done”, right? Life happens, things change…. It was SO great working with Aimee and she has a whole section of [...]
I’m not sure how many of you knew this, but a lot of the things I’ve learned about houses is because I have a pretty fantastic Father-in-Law, Al.

Wow ~ coming up on Friday already? How did that happen??? I’m super excited though because I’m headed with our worship team Friday night to see Kim Walker-Smith on her Still Believe tour!

Hi everyone! I hope your Valentine’s Day was great whatever you did. We had a fun family night going on a treasure hunt, making homemade heart-shaped pizzas (which is super fast and yummy!), and watching a movie. My hubby even got me a beautiful bouquet: Yes, he knows me well! Lol ~~~~~~~~~~ [...]
Hello everyone! I hope this week is treating you well! We’re going to spend the day on Valentines and making treats ~ I can’t wait for some fun time with all of my kiddos. So, has it been another week already?! I’m really enjoying this new series and the chance to share some of my [...]
Hey hey from Vegas!!! Yes, we’re in Vegas and having a GREAT time! I may share more about our trip later, but today I wanted to share a before and after of a recent dining table I refinished. I pretty much followed the same exact steps I did for our office desk I just finished. [...]
Happy Monday everyone! I know, I know….I keep saying I’m working on our office and here I am with a post title like “Master Bedroom Inspiration”. The office isn’t going along as quickly as I had hoped, but that’s just because “life” is. I’m still working on getting it together to share very soon, but YES, the [...]
