my living room sneak peek!
I had planned on posting a fun DIY today, but since I’ve been getting a lot of emails asking to see more of my home, I am posting some sneak peeks of my living room, instead! Even though we built this house two years ago, there is a lot of stuff left to do, thus…

our screened-in porch plan
We’ve been in our house two years now and are finally getting around to the screened-in porch off our living room. We live in the south, where the weather is pretty nice for all but maybe two months out of the year and we use the porch a lot. In the Spring and Fall, the…

before + after: my corner built-ins
It’s time I started keeping up with posting finished projects around my house, so first up are my corner built-ins in our family room! You might remember this is how we watched TV for the first year we were in our home: You can’t really tell in the photo below, but this was a tricky…

touches of green on gray days

big change in an itty, bitty space
While I usually find decorating large, open spaces more challenging than smaller ones, I have been contemplating how to go about tackling a 4.5 foot by 3 foot space in my home for the last year…the uninspiring toilet room. There are plenty of other spaces in the house that need addressing, but I thought this…

new shades, big difference
I love using black as an accent color. Picture frames, furniture, even lighting look so chic in black, so when I scored these lamps on sale a few months ago, I knew black shades would add a little punch to my entryway. Believe it or not, it’s pretty hard to find extra large black drum…
