card room green front door
Well, it’s been a whirlwind few days! My brother came into town to work on my new house along with my parents. I love that my family is all about hard work and we can accomplish a lot in a short amount of time. We’ve been working at such a rapid pace that I haven’t […]
how to refinish a kitchen table | part 1
Before we even moved in, before we even knew this house was ours, I knew a new kitchen table would be on our list of furniture to hunt for. We’ve been using a small pine table, which fit our last house well, but it’s always felt too small for the four of us at meals. […]

While there are some homes that need to be stripped to the bones and entirely reworked, most homes just need for you to cooperate with them – let them be what they are and […]
New House Tour | The Front Porch
Everyone knows that the best color to use to make a good first impression is the pale beige that has graced Band Aids for generations. Not really, but that’s what my front door is saying at the moment. I don’t know what is up with this color, but it’s blah and it’s going to change. […]
