a home decor blog, making it pretty one space at a time
At the end of May, my family and I moved from Hollywood Florida to our home in Logan Utah. We’re just spending the summer fixing things up at our Air BNB in Utah. Until then, this house will be rented out (here’s the listing if you’re interested in staying in it!). I thought I’d show you the before and afters. We moved in at the beginning of January and these were taken at the end of May. So about 5 months of work. Ready to see my Florida home tour?!
For the past 6 months at least, I’ve received message after message- here’s a link to a rainbow doormat, you need one. But I never bought one because, being stubborn and crafty, I figured I could make my own! So I finally did it and spoiler- love it! Here’s how to make a diy rainbow doormat
I have found two great cleaners in the past seven months- first I found one for the Fairview Cottage Air BNB in Logan, Utah. Now that we’re staying in it and fixing it up for the summer, I found a second cleaner for the Pink Palm Hideaway in Hollywood, Florida.
I ended up using the same technique twice to test it out, and and am thrilled with the results! I thought I’d share my best tips for how to find a reliable cleaner for Air BNB or a short term rental!
Having a reliable cleaner is SUCH an important part of being successful on Air BNB! I take this process serious because I know that a clean house is very important for a vacation rental. [Read more…]
Lately, I’ve been falling in love with dried flowers. They’ve made a glorious comeback and I want to share why I love them and how you can incorporate them into your decor. Here’s the skinny on the dried flowers trend!
Yesterday I shared how I painted the rainbow mural on my patio. That was such a fun project and really laid out the ground work for the rest of the space! Since we already had the furniture ready to go, it was pretty quick to put everything to for the patio reveal!

Ever since we moved into this house, I’ve been DREAMING of painting the wall on the side of our patio as a rainbow! I figured, it’s the side of the garage, no one but our family really sees it – why not have some fun?! And dang! I sure love it! I thought I’d show you how I painted my outdoor rainbow mural.
I’ve been working on redoing my main bathroom. It started out as cute enough with the original 1950’s tile, but was lacking personality. So I went about updating the space while keeping the tile. This hasn’t been a gut job, but a budget renovation (my favorite!). To continue that, I decided to make a DIY medicine cabinet.
For the past few weeks, I’ve been slowly making over my hallway. It was boring and beige before- the last part of my house still unpainted. I’d changed out the light, but that was about it. So I redid it and I’m excited to share my colorful hall makeover!
One of my favorite patterns has always been gingham, or buffalo check. And since I’ve been making our Florida home into my granny chic coastal dream, I finally got a chance to add some! While I looked around for ways to add it to my decor, I found some of the cutest pink buffalo check items. And I want to share them with you!
Today was an exciting day! I started wallpapering my bathroom. But then, almost as soon as I started, I ran out of paste. I’m limiting my store visits right now, which makes me think a little more creative. Could I make my own? I wondered. Then I googled it and of course I can! Here’s how to make wallpaper paste.
