Hello! This evening I’m so wiped out, I spent yesterday celebrating St. Patrick’s Day as any self respecting Irish girl does! I had a really great time with a group of good friends. Today I took a four hour self defense course, oh man was that intense, but in a good way. It’s the second…
The most recent update on the flip house revealed our flooring installer cut the edge of the flooring in the master bathroom too short. I had plans for a floating vanity, and he assumed we were installing a cabinet base, so the vinyl planks were trimmed to where he assumed the vanity base would sit. I didn’t…
Today I’m excited to share the renovated hall bathroom at the flip house. This is a full bathroom in a single story home which was built in the mid 1980s. When we bought the house it was very dated so I came up with a design plan to give the home and this bathroom cosmetic upgrades for the purpose…
I hadn’t heard of Galentine’s Day until this year (where have I been?) but I love the idea! How cool to dedicate a day to celebrating the ladies in your life! Followed up by a day dedicated to sweethearts. In honor of both days, today’s spotlight is on the color blush pink. I think of…
The week went by so fast I could barely catch my breath. I had my little nephews at my house (1 and 3) so my brother could escape with a wine country getaway. I was reminded how hard it is to have toddlers, you can’t get anything done! I don’t miss that stage :) I’m…
With the exception of two sets of French doors, all of the interior doors in my house are like this basic builder grade style. I can’t complain about their functionality, but I am bored with the look of them. I have a hard time justifying a purchase of new doors all around the house just because…
I’m so very happy to see this most recent project complete! Last week was the move in date for the COTS transitional home for veterans and I was delighted to partner with Designer Living to bring a brand new family room into the home for the benefit of the residents. A few months ago, the room…
When we purchased this investment property last year, one of the things I knew I wanted to change was the fireplace in the living room. It’s a focal point in the home and the first thing you see when you walk in the front door. I wanted it to wow a future buyer and make…
January greetings and Happy New Year! The past ten days have been really great, I took a break from the blog and most of social media and that felt so good. As a blogger I’m always thinking about new content, but I forced myself to step away and not worry about it until January. And…
Hello friends! What a crazy weekend it was with parties and events galore, I had to take Monday off just to chill and get my groove back :) I’ve just a few little things to pick up before Christmas arrives and I still have to wrap all my gifts but I’m feeling pretty prepared so…
Weekend greetings! Today I’m joining in a welcome home tour and front porch feature hosted by Chris from Just A Girl. She invited several bloggers to showcase their front entries and porches and I was delighted to join up too. I’m into the copper and rose gold tones this year. I love to mix metallics and in years…
I wrote an article for Glidden on trending green paint colors and wouldn’t you know the very same day it was published, Pantone announced ‘Greenery’ as Color of the Year. I had a feeling it would be green! I confess I’m not a fan of the yellowish and very vivid hue they named (I prefer gray greens and…
Happy holiday weekend! I’ve been busily prepping for a gathering of friends coming over next weekend. Also picking up last minute gifts, you know the regular things we rush around doing this time of year. Last week I gave a dresser in my guest room a refresh with the help of Modern Masters and their…
Ho ho ho, Merry Christmas! That’s what I got to say two weeks ago when Lowe’s asked me to cheer up a porch for a family that’s benefited from a new house through their partnership with Habitat for Humanity. Decent and affordable house is a challenge for many families so I was honored to be…
