I admit it. I snoop. And I bet you do too. I was at my brother Kyle’s house last week and was “exploring” their century-old home and conveniently had my camera along. So I snapped. And snapped. And snapped. Love, love, love their bedroom!! Isn’t it just so fresh and cozy? And I just love […]

I’ve done a few project lately where I’ve turned old doors into signs. Here are two signs that I made for my good friend Kara. Kara requested a sign to give to a friend as a housewarming gift with the words from Isaiah 61:3. I found an old door, painted it a cream color, distressed […]

Over the years, we’ve slowly worked on improving the exterior of our home, although most of the time I feel like I still don’t know what I’m doing! A few years ago I painted our front door red. Here’s what it looked like BEFORE: And here’s what it looks like TODAY: Hubs built these pretty […]

Happy 4th of July! I’ve been wanting to make a circle skirt for a while and finally made it with patriotic colors – red, white, and blue. I followed the tutorial on the Made blog. I was a little apprehensive about making it since it involved math (I stink), but it actually was pretty easy […]

We are spending some time at my parents’ beach house in Delaware, and, in case you can’t tell from the pictures, we are having some fun in the sun! Lots of cousin-time (7 kiddos ages 7 and under can be a bit much at times!), playing in the sand at the beach, boat rides, grilling, […]

Amazing architecture, pretty flowers and park benches, bistros, small boutique hotels, French style… Oh, how I long to go back! But, for now, my place is […]
