a home decor blog, making it pretty one space at a time
A few weeks ago I got a question on what is my stance on faux plants vs. real plants. Here’s the exact question-
“I love plants and have many real ones but my house doesn’t get great light so none are really thriving. I went to interior design school and the instructor was so against them. I understand why but sometimes they look better and are way less maintenance and expense. Just curious what your thoughts are.” -Kallie

A few weeks ago, this is what my 4 year old son’s bed looked like. Pretty scary! But also probably typical for a little kid. It was a mess of mix matched bedding, stuffed animals, and a bed frame that I wasn’t a fan of. I decided to tackle the situation! [Read more…]

Spring is officially here! It’s seemed like a long winter, so to be able to spend pleasant time outside just feels amazing! Our house has the saddest backyard. Besides a simple fire pit, there’s not a great place to spend time enjoying the fresh year. This year, we’re going to change that! First up, a new hammock!

When we transitioned my son from a crib to a twin bed, I tried to do it on as tight of a budget as possible. I got a vintage headboard, attached it to a metal bed frame, and used a bed skirt. It worked, but I didn’t love the look of the metal frame with the skirt. Here’s how it usually looked-

Over the weekend I finished the stairs makeover!!! I’m excited to show you the reveal rainbow stairs. In case you’re new around here, I had super creaky stairs because stairs had been laid over the original stairs. Here’s how we started out- [Read more…]
After we finished renovating the top floor of our house, it made sense to redo the stairs. Might as well! The stairs were extremely creaky and so we couldn’t wait to figure out what was going on! [Read more…]
I’m not a huge fan of the color of terra cotta pots, but I do love their price point! And guess what?! You can paint them any color you want! So they’re the perfect budget-friendly decor piece!
In the past 7 months I’ve done a lot of DIY projects around our house. I’m constantly asked how different ones are holding up, so I thought I’d put up a post with the good, the bad, and the ugly.
I am literally counting down the days until spring! The second that it’s warm enough outside, we’ll wrap up our indoor projects to work on our backyard because that area is sad.
The other day I saw pictures of Joanna Gaine’s garden house and I couldn’t stop thinking about how badly I wanted a potting or “she shed.” So I wandered outside and checked out our two sheds. And before, where I saw a lost cause, I saw possibility. Now, I can’t stop thinking about this project. Let me show you- [Read more…]
