how to make a custom shower curtain
As I shared in boy’s bathroom refresh, I made a custom shower curtain out of a curtain panel from Calvin’s former room in our PA house. And, as promised, I’m sharing how I did it! This is one of those sewing projects where you just need to sew a semi-straight line and you’ll be okay. […]
boys’ bathroom refresh
Disclosure: This post is sponsored by . As always, all opinions and words are honest and my own. Believe it or not, there are rooms in this house that have been furnished, but are otherwise untouched. I haven’t painted the trim or walls or intentionally decorated them.

French Market Basket
I love French market baskets and have bought several over the years, but most of them have been sold. I have kept three for myself, though.

July 2019 Favorites
I thought I should fit this post in before we get to September! Man, August is just flying by. I remember looking over the three months of summer approaching when we were in May and I felt like it would be an eternity. Don’t get me wrong, I love the laziness of summer. I enjoy […]
