Over the last month, I've showed you the changes we've made in our backyard throughout the six and a half years that we've lived in our home. Now that this summer's backyard landscaping work is finally complete {only a month and a half behind schedule thanks to some crazy hail storms and non-stop rain}, I'm excited to finally be able to share the last installment in the Backyard Evolution series, which is all about how we've managed to make our small backyard feel twice as big... and ...

Sophisticated Superhero Framed Art
Thank you guys for all of the love and sweet comments on our recent makeover of the boys' bathroom! I am super passionate about finding ways to balance my love of modern style with mom-life, and I'm always striving to create kid spaces that can grow with them and won't need to be completely redecorated again next year. All of these factors were at play when the boys asked for a superhero themed bathroom. I loved the challenge of giving them exactly what they wanted while also making it fit in ... View the Post
Basement Bathroom Makeover: Weeks 4, 5 & 6 {One Room Challenge}
Well, this is a first. It's week 6 of the One Room Challenge and we are JUST. GETTING. STARTED. I didn't post an update during weeks 4 or 5, because there were no updates. We dealt with a lot in October, including a death in the family, and the bathroom makeover just fell to the bottom of our to do list. Considering we're six weeks behind, I thought about just throwing in the towel. But I also really want this project done before the holidays {the new vanity has been sitting in a box in ...

Vintage Industrial Letters
I have a major thing for typography, so I can't get enough of letters and words in home decor. From the moment that we decided on the Vintage Preppy theme for Beckett's new room, I have had my eye on the Vintage Industrial Wall Letters from Restoration Hardware Baby & Child. My original thought was to spell out Beckett's entire name, but that would have cost me over $100, and I just wasn't willing to spend that much! As the plan for the room evolved, I decided that it might be better to ... View the Post

{five minute friday} Tick Tock: A Chalk Wall Clock
I rely on the cell phone in my pocket to know what time it is, completely ignoring all the clocks in our house most of the time. My boys on the other hand are fascinated by clocks - and not the digital ones on the appliances, but the real ones! So while they were at preschool the other day, I added a quick and easy clock to their chalkboard wall in the kitchen. They spotted it the second we came through the door after school, and man were they excited! A while back, I ... View the Post
{One Room Challenge} Week 3 Update
As most of you know by now, I am taking part in the One Room Challenge as a link participant! And here we are already at week 3 of 6. I am feeling pretty good about what we've been able to get done to date {I say we, because Scott is a vital part of this challenge}, but we still have a long ways to go in order to get Beckett's new room completed in just three more weeks! Before I give you this week's update, here's a quick refresher. We are decorating a brand new, "big boy" room for ... View the Post
Framed Paint Brush Art
Every garage needs art, right?! Ok, maybe need isn't the right word. But the framed paint brushes in my garage sure do make me happy, and this garage art was pretty easy to make! Last week I showed you all the organized garage details, and today I wanted to share this easy paint brush art tutorial. This would also make the perfect display for a craft room, art studio, or in the bedroom of a really creative kiddo! This post contains affiliate links. If you buy something I recommend, you ...

{diy with style} Leather Belt Drawer Pulls
Last week I told you all about my first experience using chalk paint, and how I finally achieved the smooth finish I wanted for the dresser drawers in Beckett's new room, and now I'm here to share the second half the dresser drawer story - how we created custom drawer pulls from inexpensive belts. A few months ago I was browsing furniture stores {a favorite pastime} and came across the gorgeous Tremont Dresser at Arhaus. I immediately fell in love with the leather drawer ... View the Post
{seasonal style} Thrift Store Framed Becomes a Spooky Halloween Decoration
October seems to be flying by, but it's finally starting to feel like Halloween around our house! I unpacked my Mason Jar Jack O'Lanterns, my Peek-A-Boo Color Carved Pumpkins, and added cobwebs and candles everywhere. And I also created one new addition to our Halloween decor...a spooky, 3D framed skull! Remember that photo from last week of the three thrift store items that I received in the mail as part of the #SwapItLikeItsHot challenge? I showed you how I upcycled the clipboard and ...
