a home decor blog, making it pretty one space at a time
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!

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.

One of my favorite things to add to a bathroom is a cute stool. Why? I take at least one bath a week and I like a place to put a towel or book or drink by the side of the tub. It’s so convenient, looks cute, and is a fun way to accessorize in the bathroom. After I decided to add a stool, I thought maybe I could make something? How about a diy stool?!
In my Fairview cottage bathroom, I have a ceramic stool right off the claw foot tub. That tub was in constant use (especially in the winter) and I loved having it to sit on or rest things on.
The first bathroom I ever designed had a stool in it too. I wanted something rustic to balance all there clean and new pieces in the bathroom. This is the bath I had when Don was a little so I spent a lot of time sitting there and bathing my little guy. Can you see why I wanted to make a DIY stool?!
In early December 2019 I got super exciting news, the house in Florida where we’d put an offer in had been accepted! We’d be moving across the country from Utah and putting our house up for rent as a short term rental. I thought I’d share the 10 things I learned from renting out my house as an Air BNB. [Read more…]
As we’ve been adjusting to life in our new home, there was one thing in my kitchen I’ve been missing. So I shopped around for one that would go with our other retro appliances. And I found some very cute options that I want to share with you. Here are the cutest retro microwaves.
Hi friends! A few weeks ago we discovered something no home owner ever wants to find. Termites. Ugh. Now that we took care of the problem and we’re in the clear, I want to share with you what I learned. Here’s what to do if you have termites.
A few months ago, my dreams came true when my Big Chill appliances arrived! They’re retro inspired and come in over 200 colors. The styling is beautiful and feels straight out of 1950’s. Which is perfect for this 1951 house! Ever since I first started using these, I’ve gotten lots of questions on them. Do you like them? Are they worth it? Here’s my Big Chill Appliance review.
