This post contains sponsored content. When we bought this house, we knew it was going to be a long process to fix it up to the point where we were completely happy. The bones of the house are good, but it hadn't been updated at all since it was built. It has the added burden of being one of the first houses built in our neighborhood, so it's quite different than most of our neighbors. The later houses mostly have double height entries, whereas ours doesn't (but it has another bedroom, so ... Read More

Nantucket Green Nightstand
This post contains sponsored content. I received paint from General Finishes to complete my project. One of my goals for 2016 is to make my house a happy home. It sounds so cliche, but we've spent the last couple of years daydreaming plans for it and figuring out our style, and now I'm ready to really settle in and get to work. The January theme for The Fab Furniture Flippin' Contest is "A Fresh Start" and I can't think of anything more perfect. When I saw that General Finishes was sponsoring, ... Read More
Update Your Curb Appeal with Modern Masters
This post contains sponsored content. We've been working on curb appeal this year. It's a long-term job, but with a lot of small projects, the overall look is getting so much better.

So, our most recent task was to paint them. I'm going to show you how easy it is to update your curb appeal with Modern ... Read More
Golden Stenciled Bedroom Wall
There are few things I enjoy more than watching a boring room become something amazing. As you know, we've been puttering away with our house, trying to make it a cheerful home. We started chopping away at our basement bedroom last year and I'm ready to show you the latest update. I simply cannot get enough gold right now and am loving using it as a feature wall color (remember Madeline's gold striped wall?!), so it should surprise no one that I've gone back to my tried and true Modern Masters ...

Gold Striped Feature Wall
This post contains sponsored content and affiliate links. We moved the girls' bedrooms around a few months ago and it has felt like we've been in transition for way too long. I've been really wanting to create special rooms for each of them. I've taken notes on what ideas each of them has had for their rooms and when Madeline said "shiny," I knew exactly what we were going to do. I've been eyeing the Modern Masters Metallic Paint Collection for a while now, and this gave me the perfect excuse ... Read More
Front Door Fun
I recently had to take all of the pictures off my phone because it was completely full. Scott sighs at me a lot because I don't see anything wrong with having 5,000 pictures at my fingertips. Something always goes wrong when I empty my phone onto my computer, so I put it off as long as possible. Technology and I don't tend to get along most days. Anyway, I was watching the pictures scroll by this past time and realized that I had a ton of pictures that had our front door in it. One of my ... Read More
